A friend called – Peter you have to try this cigar! He told me all about his experience and what the price of the cigar was. I was a little curious but still very skeptical. Of course there are cheap cigars with incredibly good quality today, but this one would be something different I was told. I ordered it and it sat in my humidor for 2 weeks while I had others on my list to review first.
Conctrustion
To my surprise, the cigar was completely veinless and surprisingly tightly rolled. What I felt was different about the Ibis Nicaragua robusto was the oiliness, it felt a bit sticky in some way. (The only time I’ve felt that kind of sticky feeling was when I did a freeze test on El Septimo Rebelde Blue to bust a myth).

Lets light up the Ibis Nicaragua Robusto
I had previously been a little skeptical about how good the cigar could really be and whether it was over-hyped. After smoking a few sticks at a slightly lower price, you usually know roughly what to expect. A slightly unevenly rolled cigar that sometimes glows Uneven and lighter flavors. To my surprise, this cigar was the exact opposite. The texture of the Ibis Nicaragua robusto cigar was creamy and the flavors I felt were Grass, hay, sweet nuttiness reminiscent of sweet almond and light pistachio, fruitiness and a sweetness reminiscent of soft honey and syrup. Complementing the dominant flavors were nuances of general pepperiness, raisins, leather and caffe latte that gave further depth to the Ibis Nicaragua robusto. The retrohalation tickled my nose slightly and gave generally peppery nuances.
Towards the end of the cigar it showed a little complexity. Into the whole mix came flavors of espresso, hay and dark chocolate that dominated everything, the rest of the flavors ended up in the background. This was about the last 10 minutes with the cigar.
