La Aroma De Cuba Robusto Cigar Review

La Aroma De Cuba Mi Robusto Review




The smell of Cuba , something i’ve been familiar with for the last 8 years of my life , well maybe not the scent of the country itself but deffinatly the scent of the country’s pride and joy TOBACCO/ CIGARS. Familliar with UK’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill , and how much he loved cigars ? Aside from Romeo Y Julieta, La Aroma De Cuba was one of his favourite brands , the year was 1895 and this was the year Winston Churchill would discover RYJ and LADC, to this day I have yet to see a Cuban LADC it seems the brand just disappeared . Until 2002 when the brand was revived by ASHTON and has two of their blends rated 92, and 93 points. If the name nestor plasencia doesn’t ring a bell to you , He was one of the two masterminds behind the 2008 cigar of the year CASA MAGNA COLORADO ROBUSTO . The first “2nd generation” La Aroma De Cuba was manufactured in Santa Rosa de Copan which is located in Honduras , the cigar consisted of a Cuban Seed Honduran Wrapper that was grown by Nestor . The new brand Maintained the Cuban Tridition that dates back to the 1800’s same band and box . Most of the LADC blends are Medium to full body and offer beautiful balance and flavours. Most of the time Good things are worth waiting for right ? A total of 18 months of hard work on behalf of Ashton and Don Pepin Garcia is what it took to create the new masterpiece LADC blend Mi Amore , released at this year’s IPCPR in New Orleans, lets see if it was worth the wait.

Wrapper: Mexican Grown Cuban Seed
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Strength: Medium
Ash: Firm Greyish Colour



A beautiful Slightly box pressed Dark Mexican Grown Cuban seed wrapper offering a few veins, minimal oils , but toothy, all topped off with a triple cap , this cigar has a great feel to it and is very well constructed, the cigar has a cedary peppery pre light aroma, the pre light draw is great. The first third of this cigar was very prominent in the cocoa department, but the typical (DPP) don pepin pepper was evident on the tip of my tongue, which then creeped to the back of my tonsils the burn at this point is great producing a firm greyish ash , and so is the draw. The second third of this cigar, the pepin pepper was still present but mellowed out and more prominent flavours of coffee became the dominant side and some faint cocoa notes still remained draw and burn still amazing, can this cigar get any better ? Final third , the finish line Don Peppin pepper returned heavily on the toungue as a reminder of his amazing blending skills , cedar, and coffee became more of an undertone and leather woody notes were more dominant, the burn and draw remained flawless .



Summary



All in all this is truly a great cigar that i think everyone could enjoy , i’ve smoked all 5 sizes of this blend and all of them are full of rich flavours of coffee , cocoa, pepper, leather, and wood, a perfect burn , perfect draw and a beautiful strong firm ash, the cigar produces alot of smoke while its burning giving off a beautiful aroma that just topped off the whole experience maybe thats why they have the word aroma in the name ? these are a new release so get your hands on them ASAP
