Quick Smoke: El Rey de los Habanos Robusto
20 Oct 2007
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
Hey, even Tiger Woods sometimes shoots an average round of golf. So I guess Pepin Garcia can make an average smoke. I found this five inch by 50 ring gauge $6 cigar simply OK. Not bad, but far from outstanding. There was no development or complexity of flavor in this Nicaraguan puro, really just a peppery predominance from beginning to end. Smoking one occasionally would be all right, but I wouldn’t seek it out.
Verdict = Hold.
