Luminosa Robusto by The Crowned Heads 7/4/18

 Appearance
A light brown colored wrapper with a couple of prominent veins. A nice oily sheen is visible right away. The seems are tight and not easy to spot. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.

Aroma
Cedar and sugar with a hint of spice on the wrapper. The same at the foot.

Prelight Draw
Black licorice, cedar and spice.

1st
Initial draws bring notes of cedar and mild black pepper spice. The draw is spot on. The burn is off slightly. The ash is medium gray and tight with stack lines. Strength is mild. By the end of the 1st/3rd the burn is spot on.

2nd
The wrapper develops a couple of splits below the band, but they don’t affect the smoking experience. The smoke production is at the medium range. There is a dash of cinnamon spice mixed in with the black pepper for a nice combination of spices. The profile is very basic but enjoyable at the same time.

Final/3rd
The well balanced albeit consistent flavor profile continues into the final/3rd. Consistent right to the nub.

Overall
The Luminosa Robusto by The Crowned Heads provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A balanced and consistent flavor profile with a good burn & draw from late in the 1st/3rd to the nub. Definitely a morning smoke.
