Atlantic threw in one of the Robustos with a recent order. It was a very pretty looking, very dark, and very toothy cigar. Looked a lot like a Liga Privada wrapper to me so I looked it up. Turns out the 76 is an Atlantic exclusive that has been around for a year or so. Interestingly, it has an Ecuadorian stalk cut "Havano" wrapper. Not sure if that is any different than the more commonly used term "Habano". Aside from that, I could not find a single review and hardly even a reference to it on the web.
Gave it a couple weeks to settle in and fired it up this morning after breakfast.
Started off medium bodied but very smooth with predominantly leathery flavor and just a touch of sweetness.
After about an inch a nice cedar woodiness is there on the finish, and the subtle sweetness and a very faint peppery spice are there through the nose.
From there it stays consistent but ramps up slightly as it progresses.
Medium bodied/medium+ strength by the end, and not a foul flavor from start to finish. Draw and burn were perfect. If you like the profile of an LP #9 or PCR, I would say these are worth a try. I just picked up another fiver along with a box each of Casa Fernandez and Viaje Exclusivo Lanceros.
