Robusto Grande

A nicely constructed stick with tree trunk-sized veins and invisible seams. A gloriously shiny and oily wrapper with colored hues of hickory, espresso, cocoa, gingerbread, and cinnamon. And lastly a beautiful triple cap.

In the first third, flavors wash over the palate like a warm blanket. Strength is a solid medium.

In only a few minutes, complexity begins, and transitions line up. Creamy a touch of root beer and complex. Strong citrus, waning pepper, disappearing chocolate, heavy on the malts, still gets salty pretzel thing going, and very cedar.

In the second third, the blend kicks. Flavor elements are ramped up considerably.

in the final third, Red pepper and a return of dense creaminess. A large volume of malt. Some nuttiness and sweetness. The black pepper still lies quietly at the back of my throat despite the introduction of the glorious red pepper. Strength makes the leap to medium/full
