My father Don Pepin Black 1979 Robusto cigar review

The cold draft gave an almost unique taste of camomille tea

Construction

I don’t know why but the feeling I got from the band was like a movie, the cigar was made for a rich ranch owner in the 17th-18th century. A feeling that the cigar is lit while they stand on their porch and look over their land and cattle to enjoy their wealth while their employees start their work.

The cigar was firm and evenly rolled with a matte feel to it.

Wrapper: Nicaragua – Binder: Nicaragua – Filler: Nicaragua

Smell and cold draw

The scents I smelled shocked me and I put the cigar down for a while to smell the cigar again later to see if I smelled the right scent. The wrapper smelled of hay and the filler gave shades of fruitiness and mint leaves. Mint leaves in particular I feel were unique and was probably the first time I smelled the scent. The cold draw was incredibly relaxing and could be enjoyed like a lovely cup of tea. The flavors I felt were fruitiness and camomille.
