Quick Smoke: Casa Fernandez Copacabana Robusto

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

The Casa Fernandez Copacabana was introduced at the 2011 IPCPR Trade Show. The value-priced ($4) Nicaraguan puro has a Cuban-seed Corojo ’99 wrapper. The flavors are simplistic: wood, cardboard, and milk chocolate. It’s medium-bodied and well-constructed, but ultimately hardly a complex, sophisticated, or particularly interesting cigar.
