Mitchellero Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Very nice cigar. Even burn, plenty of smoke and lovely flavours. You cant go wrong for the price. However, I too had problems with the wrapper unravelling from the cut and like one of the other reviewers put it down to my cutter until I read his comment. The ash was firm and only had two drops but try as I might the cigar burned very hot as borne out by the cone shaped ash. I keep my RH at 65 so I dont think its a moisture problem and Im not a sprinter when it comes to drawing but I couldnt drop the temperature throughout the smoke and I toasted my fingertips on a couple of occasions. Would have given 5 stars but had to drop a point for all the constant faffing around I had to do when all I wanted was to just sit back and enjoy the smoke.

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.
