Bought a few of these robustos many month ago as they were on closeout special at an online site where I was placing another order. I think the big marketing angle with these was that they were grown 100% organically. I came across them in the bottom of my desktop humi yesterday.
I don't recall exactly which ones these were, but I do remember they came packaged in sets of three in a triangular cardboard box. No bands, just cello.
After cutting the end, I noticed something odd right off the bat ... the binder leaf was olive green in color - almost candela. This is something I've never seen in my many years of smoking cigars.
Not sure if it was the cause, but the first third of the cigar was rather bitter and grassy tasting. I was almost ready to put it out when the flavors started getting better. The remainder was pretty decent - tobacco with some coffee and dark chocolate flavors.
