La Barba Ricochet (Robusto)

[chain_gang]

First La Barba for me.

Definitely an orange flavor - in the beginning it popped like Orange Fanta; then it became more melded with the spice, and rounding it out.

It seemed more of a woodsy and spice mixtured tasting cigar.

Full strength and body. Lots of nice smoke production.

Very wonky burn after the first 1/4. May have been the cold temperature.

Short review, because I don't have much of a taste for this profile. Will add more on my next go-round.

Judgement:

No judgement yet. I still don't have much appreciation, taste, or desire for the woodsy-spice cigars. Doesn't mean I dislike them, they're just not in my wheelhouse...yet. I bought a fiver of Cigarbid for around $13, which makes the $3ish price good. I'll give it some time before I revisit, and I'll be looking forward to trying to expand my tastes.

How long have you had them?
Because as I'm sure that you found, the rH change makes a difference in the flavors (sometimes) & burn.

Probably 4 months at 62%. I don't believe it was the resting RH, but maybe the low humidity outside was a factor. As for the taste, the woodsy profiles have been outside my preference, but I'd like to get there with them.

For what it’s worth I use 65% Boveda packs in all my containers and humidors
