Appearance
A nice medium brown Ecuadoran Habano wrapper with a few prominent veins. The seams are tightly wrapped. The cap is nicely done and of the 2 seam variety. It has a nice oily sheen. Seems to be well packed with tobacco with no real soft spots. The band is very nicely done.
Aroma
Strong barnyard, cedar, tea with honey and a hint of spice on the wrapper. Foot is closed so no additional aroma.
Prelight Draw
Fruity sweetness, cedar, honey, tea, a dash of licorice and cinnamon spice on the lips and tongue.
1st
Initial draws bring out notes of tea, cedar and honey. There is a hint of spice developing. The draw is effortless. The burn has a slight wave. The ash is a medium gray and slightly flaky. At 1" in the strength is at the edge of medium+. Ash gets less flaky late in this 3rd. Finish is long with a very sweet flavor. A toasty note enters the profile.
2nd
The spice has not progressed past a mild cinnamon. Smoke production is in the medium range. The strength moves to med/full midway in the 2nd/3rd. The spice has become a full cinnamon. Burn is still slightly wavy.
Final/3rd
The flavor profile remains consistent through the final/3rd.
Overall the LH Premium Colorado Robusto provides a very enjoyable smoking experience. Flavorful and balanced with a nice cinnamon kicker.
A big thank you to Nicholas Syris @LHCigars and Ron Arellano @SmokinFly_Ron for the samples for review.
A good cigar worthy of your time to try it out. I'll be keeping a few of them in my humi.
