Cigar Review: Camacho Candela Robusto

Interesting and slightly earthy with the absence of lots of spice. Very green and I mean more than just the wrapper. Almost forest-like and vegetal. The draw was somewhat difficult. I was also not a fan of the overall "green" flavors. They were overwhelming until the finish, which could be characterized by definite toasty flavors and harsh burning tobacco. My favorite part of the cigar was the aroma, which was rustically intense.

Aroma: 4/5

Taste: 2.5/5

Draw: 2.5/5

Intensity: 3.5/5

Overall Balance: 3/5

Drink with: Pilsners or dark lagers (think of a bock styled beer), bourbon or Tennesee whiskeys, blended scotches or a tawny port.
