Conctrustion

The Valentino siesto Sungrown Robusto cigar was incredibly firm, one of the firmest cigars I’ve reviewed. It was on the verge that I almost thought it was a big twig and not a cigar. The band around the cigar gave me several emotions. I got the feeling of pure luxury and at the same time as if it was made for some elite military unit.

Wrapper: Habano sun grown – Binder: Dominican – Filler: Dominican

Smell and cold draw

The scent I smelled on the wrapper was nuttiness and sweetness. A sweetness that reminded a little of a coffee break where the scent of cookies slowly fills the room. The scented filler had a scent of coffee beans. The cold draft produced flavors of hay and nuttiness with a slight sweetness.

When I roasted the cigar I was not prepared for how much it had to offer. The texture was slightly buttery, but nothing that was particularly noteworthy. The prominent flavors i felt were general nuttiness, earthiness, and woodiness. The woodiness leaned towards cedar wood, and I also detected hay and a floral sweetness. In the background there was flavors of herbs, nutmeg, saltiness and coffee beans. The retrohale was smooth and gave shades of ceder.

In the background there were flavors of general florality, syrupy sweetness, a fruitiness reminiscent of dates and a slight pepperiness. The rethrohale was smooth and gave shades of ceder and hay.

The cigar delivered an incredible amount of flavors in the last third. The flavors oscillated between flares as if they were competing for which flavor you felt the most. The texture changed a bit and became a mix of buttery and creamy. The flavors the cigar offered were oak, cedar, coffee beans, a roasted and salted nut mix, syrup-like sweetness, peach peel, floral, hay, fresh herbs and saltiness. In the background there was licorice, fruitiness, lemon-like acidity, dates, almond paste, pepperiness and milkiness. The retrohalation was smooth and gave nuances of hay and nuttiness.
