Quick Smoke: K.A. Kendall’s 7-20-4 Robusto
9 Mar 2014
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.â€
When 7-20-4 debuted (technically relaunched after a nearly 50-year hiatus) in 2009, it struck a chord with it’s throwback packaging and unique blend. The cigar has a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, a Colombian binder, and filler from Nicaragua, Mexico, and Honduras. I recently picked up a Robusto to see how it compares to the other sizes in the line. The Robusto is dominated by woody notes, combined with molasses, cinnamon, and clove. Medium- to full-bodied with excellent construction and a reasonable $6-7 cost, it’s easy to recommend.
Verdict = Buy.
