Origin: Cuba
Format: Piramides
Size: 52 x 156
Initial impressions: Aroma at cold is leather and chocolate. Wrapper is almost flawless and is dark and a bit oily. Draw at cold is easy, but not loose. I find it funny as I sit at the bar in LCDH Cancun, I am staring ahead at a photo of none other than Alejandro Robaina himself – almost gazing over my cigar choice and thinking “Buena onda” (although I doubt “Buena onda” was in his daily vocabulary).
Opening: Draw remains on the easy side, notes of leather, spice and chocolate abound. Loads of smoke and a grey white ash.
First third: Great beginning to what I have found to be a predictably good cigar. Strong side of medium working its way to medium full. Flavors are still spice, leather and chocolate.
Second third: Flavors are staying consistent, but the cigar is moving towards medium full. Pairing with a Macallan 18 year. For those who know me, yes, I would have gone with something a bit more interesting, but their scotch selection was a bit wanting.
Final third: Medium full at this point. A very good cigar with loads of flavor. Leather spice gone away and gave way to a strong creamy chocolate flavor.
Final thoughts: I love the entire Robaina marca. While not my favorite vitola, the Unicos never disappoint.
