Punch Rothschild Maduro

[jkim05]

Ok, so this is my first review so be gentle...
This honduran maduro robusto looked incredible. Nice dark wrapper, smelled strongly of chocolate. Pre light pull also tasted of chocolate. 4.5" x 50rg
Lit well, draw was kind of tough as the cigar was packed full, but it loosened up as the smoke went on. Nice long ash, well over an inch and I had trouble getting it off, and even burn throughout.
First third was pretty mellow, slightly nutty, bit of chocolate flavor. The next third started kicking up the strength a bit, but really still a medium strength cigar at most imo. Spice kicked in a little in the second third. By the last third, the cigar really loosened up and the flavors intensified, but the spice died down. Really chocolately, but the nuttiness subsided, slightly fruity also.
I'd say it was a great cigar, I only wish I had more of it, but it took well over 30min. to smoke the little robusto. Looks about a 3.5-4 out of five, flavor a 3.5-4 out of five and value at least a 4.5 out of five. I paid 13.95 plus shipping for a five pack of these little babies. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried one yet.
Thanks, let me know how I did. :robosmile

Great review! :yes:

I think they're good little smokes, but the double maduro Rothschild is a much better cigar. The box is clearly labeled MADURO MADURO. Look here at the box pic from our sponsor Famous Smoke:

I'd suggest you try one of those as a comparison. It's got a really deep, rich flavor but still isn't harsh at all.

Cheap too! Famous sells a box of 50 for $102.95...that's basically $2 bucks per stick! One of my fave little maduros. :smokingbo
