Quorum Classic Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Thursday 30 July, 2020 by Mohammed

1. Appearance & Construction

Cigar had a nice dark brown wrapper, smooth to touch even though the wrapper was veiny.  Was a tad dry near the foot at there was a slight crack. Tobacco was filled nicely and the cigar had decent weight to it. Didnt look amazing. I mean there are cigars you see and your reaction is wow. From the look of this cigar and the label you could tell this wasnt a high end cigar.

10/15.

2. Flavor & Aroma.

Before even lighting the cigar there was a strong earthy smell. During the course of the smoke the flavor was earthy, leathery with hints of coffee, but there was an over empowering hint of fiery peppery spice that was there in the background. If the spicy-ness was a tad less the flavor wouldve been outstanding.

17/25.

3. Smoking Characteristics.

Everything came easy with this cigar. Cutting to lighting was effortless. Burn was uneven to begin with but with a couple of touch ups and by the time it got to the 2nd 3rd it was burning beautifully. Ash was white like snow and stayed on the cigar all the way to the nib. Draw was heavy and a little tight but didnt require much effort.

22/25

4. Overall experience.

This wasnt a great smoke but it was a decent smoke. Got about 50mins of smoking out of this cigar and it was pretty enjoyable even though the spicy-ness was over powering. Do think that keeping this in a humidor for a couple of months would mellow out the spice and make it an amazing smoke. For just under £9 you cant go wrong, I will definitely buy this again and give it a good few months in the humidor before smoking again just to see if there is a difference. Its a good cigar but flavor slightly let it down.

29/35.

Total points 78/100.
