Gran Habano Vintage 2002 Robusto

kaelaria

This 5×50 dark brown oily wrapped cigar features minimal veins, a slick firm pack, invisible tight seams and a rich tobacco aroma. As I toast this up I talk a little about what ‘vintage tobacco’ means. First light reveals a very mild airy smoke with an earthy flavor and woody aftertaste with a great draw. The first third quickly develops to a mild-medium creamy smooth woody taste on the draw with a slightly bitter but oily wood finish. The 1/2 way point comes fairly quickly 25 minutes in, only adding a slight sweetness to the draw flavors. Ending at 45 minutes, the last third shifts just slightly, bringling a touch of licorice to what was just a general sweetness. http://cigarobsession.com/cigar-reviews/gran-habano-vintage-2002-robusto-cigar-review/

I'm finally getting some good smoke out of the Churchills. I finally said "F it" and just pulled them from the humi. They've been dry boxing for 6 weeks and now burn just fine. Very good flavor, with lots of cedar and cocoa.

I loved the robusto and hated the churchill. What a waste of 2" of tobacco. I had suffered through half of mine before I pulled them completely from humidification. It helped but some were still junk. I cannot imagine what you can do to a good cigar to mess it up that bad.

I had the Gran Hanano Vintage 2002 Robusto this evening. Great smoke. The draw is a little tight as mentioned here but not bad. Dyring them out a bit could do some good. It had a great flavor. I'll def be purchasing some more!!

If the robustos are indeed better than what I just smoked, that would be really something.

I've not had the churchill, but I'll be damned if the robusto isn't one of my top favorite smokes.
