1/3 Let’s light up Stauffenberg cigars Edition 2 robusto

It didn’t take long after I had lit the Stauffenberg cigars Edition 2 robusto for the cigar to show its full body. The texture was creamy and and extremely rich. The flavors the Stauffenberg Edition 2 cigar presented were nuttiness in the direction of cashews, hay, general pepperiness, freshly picked herbs, coffee and a honey-like sweetness. In the background I could feel lighter shades of licorice and leather. The retrohale slightly tickled my nose and brought with it shades of white pepper and wood.

2/3 The Stauffenberg cigar shows complexity

As I entered the second third of the Stauffenberg cigars Edition 2 robusto the texture was still creamy and rich as in the first third, the only real difference was that it left a slightly dry feeling on the palette. The dominant flavors the cigar offered me were hay, nuts reminiscent of cashews and chestnut, dried herbs and a sugar like sweetness. In the background I could feel lighter nuances of coffee, earthiness, general pepperiness and florality. The retrohale became smoother and I felt a lighter shade of wood.

The combination of cashews and chestnut was a combination that is rarely found in this prominent way and added somthing extra.
