Aspiring Gentleman Reviews Perdomo Habano Corojo Robusto
A big thanks to Luke from Aspiring Gentleman for his review of the Perdomo Habano Corojo Robusto:
The Corojo wrapper on the robusto (5″ x 52) we tried had a beautiful sheen to it, and our sticks were all flawlessly rolled. Combine that with a beautiful double band (one on the foot), and this cigar will instantly beauty your humidor. The cigar has a very tight/stiff feel to it, yet the draw was steady. Pre-light aromas are citrus and straw. On first light, the cigar has mild spice, with a bit of sweetness and leather. As the cigar burned, the citrus noticed on the pre-light began to shine through, giving off nice flavours of orange and grapefruit, all underwritten with a warm leathery tobacco spice. Where this cigar became really interesting was the burn. Throughout it’s 5 inches, after every draw this cigar would stay red-hot for a solid 2-3 minutes; as such, this is a cigar meant to be smoked slowly. In fact, only on my second attempt at this cigar did I smoke it intentionally slow, and the sweetness and citrus flavours were enhanced and more balanced. The ash in any case was a light color and held steady, splaying in the second third.
All in all, this medium-bodied stick packs some excellent flavors, especially given its price of roughly $5/stick. This is a great reflection of a good Nicaraguan cigar, and one definitely worth seeking out.
