Quick Smoke: Isla de Cuba Blend 376 Robusto Extra
8 Nov 2008
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
“Isla de Cuba has a real hit with this new cigar.†That’s what my colleague said of this 5.5 inch by 50 ring gauge stogie in his September review. Given the full-flavored yet smooth taste of nuts and coffee, the impressive physical properties, and the uncanny resemblance to an upscale Padrón, I can’t disagree. For about $7 a pop, this is a good reminder of why Isla de Cuba is one of my favorite boutique manufacturers.
Verdict = Buy.
