FATHERS DAY - Mitchellero Robusto Cigar - Box of 20

The fact that these are out of stock as I write this review says it all.Fantastic cigars.

ADD THESE TO YOUR HUMIDOR! They are amazing cigars for an astounding price. Even burn, good draw, plenty of smoke, hold the ash well, and taste like Cubans. GET SOME!

I ordered a single. As stated by Mark in another review the wrapper for me arrived cracked - though thankfully didn’t unravel. I think it may just be a thin wrapper and I expect when I receive my box which I plan on ordering that this problem won’t happen again (I suspect postage and being knocked about damaged the thin wrapper in transit. The smoke is astonishingly creamy. It has a mild sweetness from the first third till around halfway. I would almost describe it as a flat white made with jersey cream. Really delicious for me as I no longer can drink coffee. The smoke has a slight yeasty bready quality that was massively accentuated with a small sip of Earl grey tea. Really addicting. The final third became more savoury and peppery. Black pepper spice at the back of the tongue and throat. A nice transition to be honest. The creaminess thins out but it’s still got some thickness. The flavours are mild-medium bodied I would say. Be interesting to see how it tastes with some age. Burn time for me (pretty slow smoker) was 1:10:00 with no relights. Great construction.

Bought 10 just to see if a Robusto for less than £6 could really be a decent smoke. On balance, yes with enough flavour and an even burn. I have found, though, that the wrapper has a tendency to unravel and/or crack. Happened to varying degrees on 3 out of the 4 I’ve smoked so far. Perhaps my cutter is getting a little old but I don’t have trouble with other cigars.

This is a really good cigar, perfect draw and burn all the way to the nub. The ash held right up until the half way point. The flavours built as it went starting off with a fresh red pepper on the initial light building into a very pleasant spice and white pepper with dark chocolate on the retro. I will definitely be getting more to add to my humidor and could quite easily become a great daily summer smoke!
