Quick Time – Solamente Robusto

Okay, thanks to Tex Cigars, I’m able to review this bundle robusto for those of my readers who are looking for reviews of cheaper cigars.  Now, I’ve smoked plenty of bundles in my day, but had gotten away from them over the years.  Bundles are great though, especially if you’re an everyday smoker or a multiple-cigars-a-day smoker.  They’re easier on the pocket book than full premium cigars and, depending on the bundle, can taste just as good.  Often, bundles are just premium cigars that didn’t pass quality checks of the factories, but are still good enough to be sold.

With a sun-grown wrapper and full of Dominican tobacco, this 5×50 Solamente wasn’t pretty.  There was some excess tobacco sticking out of the foot.  The wrapper was messy and the cap wasn’t all that great.  But what will surprise you when you light up is the flavor.  I was bowled over…really!  Sweet wood all the way through.  Mild to medium-bodied, this cigar tasted great.  The burn: blah.  The presentation: blah.  The taste: great.  And the bundle sells for less than $25.  If you’re on the golf course, or workin’ in the garage, then this cigar will satisfy you.  I’m surprised, really, cause I have my moments of cigar snobbiness.

You can try them for yourself by clicking the link below and buying some.  If you don’t like them, they’re cheap enough to give to your friends when they come mooching.

   Sounds tempting. I currently have plenty of yard gars, but I’ll probably start running low by this summer. Looks like I now have another candidate.
