Cigar: Murcielago Robusto (5.25 x 52)
Drink: Coke
The name, Murcielago, Spanish for "Bat," came about when Ortega and Espinosa were on a visit to Mexico, and were taken to see caves, literally, filled with bats.
Appearance: This cigar has a jet black Mexican maduro wrapper on it. There were no veins showing. The cigar is box pressed. I love the band on the cigar. The appearance gets a 10/10
Pre-Light: It has a dark and rich flavor to it that I can't describe. Maybe bitter cocoa?
Construction: Held a decent sized ash. The draw was perfect. The cigar required only one touchup. That says something, b/c I usually touch up a lot because I like a perfect burning cigar.
Taste of the cigar: This cigar has a dark chocolate and cocoa flavor to it. There was also a couple parts where I got some sort of minty flavor.
Strength: This is a medium-full bodied cigar.
Summary: This cigar is very, very good. I did a box split with another brother and I am glad I did. I definitely recommend that you give this cigar a try. I give it a 8.5/10.
