Casa Magna Colorado Robusto

[elderboy02]

Date: 1/22/09

Cigar: Casa Magna Colorado Robusto (5.5 x 52)

Cost: $5.60

Drink: Coca-Cola (the best cola)

Appearance: This has a Colorado wrapper on it. There wrapper was absolutely beautiful. It has a triple cap on it. The band is very thick and elegant. The appearance gets a 10/10

Taste of the cigar: This cigar tastes like rich chocolate. It is sweet and woodsy as well. It is a pretty complex cigar.

Construction: Held a long ash. The draw was perfect. The cigar required no touchups.

Strength: This was a medium-full cigar.

Summary: This cigar was absolutely delicious. Cigar Aficionado named it their #1 cigar of 2008. I don't think it was the best of 2008, but it was very, very good. I will definitely buy more of these in the future. The only thing keeping it from getting a 10/10 was I wanted a little more spice. I give it a 9.4/10.

Elder thanks for the review. I had a Gran Robusto today at my B&M. It started Ok with very little flavor. Started to head south. Burn went uneven, the middle of the cigar after about 40 mins was packed loose and the thing went bitter. I had to lay it to rest in dissapointment. He did just get them in a week ago so maybe. Maybe the size are diff rollers I dont know. But I know of very few sticks i have not finished and it was 1 of them. Maybe Ill try the robusto when I can find it.

Here's a tip: have handy some surgical scissors to remove the band with.

Pretty good stick, I think this will be much better with some rest.
But Damn, that label is impossible to take off.
