Magnate Green Connecticut Robusto 8/22/16


Appearance 
The light brown wrapper has a couple prominent veins. The seams are tight and nearly invisible. The cigar is toothy and has a light oil sheen. 

Aroma 
Tobacco,hay,cedar and a hint of spice on the wrapper. Cedar & cocoa at the foot.

Prelight Draw 
Cedar & hay.

1st
Initial draws reveal notes of cedar & hay with a faint hint of cinnamon spice. About 3/4" in the warm cinnamon joins the profile. The draw is perfect. The burn is spot on as well. The ash is salt&pepper gray and tight so far. It has a nice amount of smoke production. 

2nd
The strength goes from the high end of mild/med to medium+ a few draws into the 2nd/3rd. A coffee note is entering the profile. The finish is long with notes of cedar,hay,cocoa,coffee & warm cinnamon. The burn got a bit wavy but fully self corrected very quickly. Smoke production is at high. 

Final/3rd
The flavor profile stays consistent and creamy smooth. Tasty right to the nub.
Overall the Magnate Green Connecticut Robusto provides an enjoyable smoking experience. Well balanced and creamy smooth throughout. This would make a great morning smoke for mild/med smokers.
Thanks to Najib Green @MagnateGreen for the samples for review.
