I just love it when you forget about a box for a long time and then happily discover it while re-arranging the Humi.... So it was when I re-discovered my forgotten box of RyJ EL 2001 Robustos.
The appearance of these gems (ABR01) is awesome and the aroma that leapt out and surrounded me upon opening the lid was amazing. They look like bars of chocolate and there is something about seeing a beautifully aligned and perfectly matched row of cigars that brings a smile to a cigar smoker almost unlike anything else in the world.
I like to draw on a cigar right after cutting it - pre-light. The real good ones give you a strong indication as to what you are in store for. And so it was with this cigar. The 1st and most prominent flavor was beautifully aged and cured TOBACCO... remember that sensation --- long before all of the "nuances" of cassis and african violets that some find in their cigars - I LOVE the sensation brought upon by a great Tobacco !!!!
Upon lighting - this cigar COMES ALIVE !!!!! Effortless and almost endless amounts of smoke - all flavorfull - never harsh - just a DELICIOUS and Rewarding taste experience and sensation. Construction of the cigar was impeccable - the stick almost smoked itself !!!
Yes, in addition to the tobacco, I did get the taste of coffee bean and a chocolate type of aftertaste - but the real beauty of this cigar is that it wasn't necessary to break this down into it's individual components. The entire sensation is what spoke to me --- and it was saying that I had a GEM of a cigar...... and so it was.
