Appearance
The light brown colored wrapper has a couple prominent veins but has a silky looking finish. The seams are tight. There is a light oil sheen and a small amount of tooth. The filler is well packed with no soft spots.
Aroma
Hay, cedar on the wrapper. Hay, oats, sweetness and a hint of cinnamon spice.
Prelight Draw
Cedar, graham cracker, marshmallows and spice.
1st
Initial draws are very sweet. Along with notes of cedar there are some light hay notes. There is a tiny bit of spice developing. The ash is light gray and flaky. It has a smooth almost effortless draw and the burn is spot on. Strength is edging up from mild to medium.
2nd
The ash gets tighter with almost no flake. The spice becomes like allspice. The strength kept moving right through medium to medium+. Smoke production is medium. The spice becomes more like a paprika. The finish is long with notes of cedar, graham cracker, marshmallow and paprika spice. The ash holds firm til removal at each 3rd.
Final/3rd
The spice begins to dominate the flavor profile. The other flavors are still present on the finish.
Overall
The Psyko7 Connecticut Robusto provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A mildly flavorful profile with a perfect burn and draw. The balance is spot on till the final/3rd.
Thank you to Rachel from marketing at @VenturaCigarCo for the samples for review.
