Appearance
A milk chocolate colored wrapper with a couple of prominent veins. The seams are tightly wrapped but visible due to some mottling. Most of the wrapper has a nice oil sheen. The filler bunch is well packed with no apparent soft spots.
The band is a work of art.
Aroma
Earth, bakers chocolate and cinnamon spice on the wrapper. Earthy and coffee bean at the foot.
Prelight Draw
Earth, lush red fruit, licorice, dark chocolate, cinnamon and black pepper spice.
1st
The initial draws bring notes of earth, cedar, mild cinnamon and a pinch of black pepper spice. Dark roast coffee notes join the profile. Strength is already medium+. The draw is perfect. The burn is wavy. The ash is light gray and fairly tight. The burn line fully self corrects by the end of the final/3rd. The ash held firm and straight till removal.
2nd
Lush red fruit notes join the profile. The profile is very well balanced. The finish is long with notes of earth, dark roast coffee, cedar, lush red fruit, cinnamon and a pinch of black pepper spice. Smoke production is at the low end of medium range.
Final/3rd
The draw becomes effortless and the burn is still spot on. The flavorful profile continues right to the nub.
Overall
The La Antiguiedad Robusto provides an enjoyable smoking experience. A well balanced and flavorful profile with a perfect draw and wavy burn in the 1st/3rd and spot on the rest of the way.
