Lol! You're probably pitching all the cigars I would buy! Haha, different tastes...

I’m with the Emperor. Sounds like my thing too. Who wants sweet in their coffee or their cigar?

I definitely don’t require sweetness, although it’s always welcomed unless it’s artificial tasting. But I do need some sweetness when I’m tasting cocoa. Otherwise, it reminds me of that time when I was a little kid and saw Hershey’s cocoa in the spice rack and thought....Hershey’s?? Yum!! A spoonful later and I was almost throwing up.

Mine had a solid second half, but need a little bit of rest. Looks like this is going to be a creamy cedar bomb of flavor in a few months. The only issue I'm concerned with is draw, the last couple of 18s and this one have been over-packed for my liking. I'm going to start dry-boxing them for a couple of days to see if there's any change.

Mine was fine and the draw and burn were spot on. I had the corona tonight, may do the robusto tomorrow to investigate these claims of yours !

I can appreciate that.

For some reason my tastes have been changing over the decades and where I needed sugar and creamer in a medium roast have turned into a dark roast made strong and black. And a good bit of bitterness in my beer can be ok too. I figured this was potentially along those lines. Maybe I should buy one and see for myself.
