2015 Hirochi Robaina by Cubanacan Blue Corona Gorda
A Nicaraguan,* dark brown,* Ecuadorian Habano, fine, toothy wrapper, hard bunch, and smooth cap with Nicaraguan filler and binder, Corona Gorda measuring 5.5x46.
Slightly uneven burn that required 1 correction,* flat coal, typical structure,* mottled* grey ash, slightly tight draw and a few small cracks in the wrapper at the foot for the entire length.
Ample smoke volume and faint but fragrant aroma.
Of medium richness and body, mild-medium strength the first third, medium the second third and medium-full the final third.
*
Modest flavor the first third,* medium the second,* and generous the final third. A perfect balance of earth, wood, and toasty flavors.
Very light sweetness initially,* no bitterness, burn on the tongue,* sharpness or saltiness.
Overall a good character and good in general with a final score of 88 out of 100
