Have a Cigar: Gold Edition Short Robusto

Country: Honduras

Shape: Parejo

Size: Short Robusto (3 7/8 inches x 63)

Strength: Medium

Short and fat, the Gold Edition Short Robusto is a medium-bodied cigar that was probably made for short, midday breaks. I smoked mine at a casual gathering, but I could imagine myself lighting one to conclude a lunch break or dinner. It goes well with lager and coffee, and it burns majestically. I got hints of walnut, cedar, bread, and coffee.

You can absolutely count on this fatso whenever you need a time out.

Strength: Medium

Earthy, smooth, with notes of caramel, coffee, and cedar… Deriving pleasure from the Edicion Roja Cinco cigar was easy business. It burned evenly and every draw was as good as the one before it.

Like it happens with most cigars that I like, I smoked it until there was nothing left to smoke.

I had to work overtime on Monday night because I had a deadline to meet. And I needed a cigar to go with it. I chose the Cuba Aliados that has been sitting in my cigar box for over a week. From its look and feel, I could tell it was a good one. It smelled pretty good, and it promised me a good time.

Let’s just say it was a cigar I could work with.

Overall, it was a decent stick, and it went well with peated whisky. It burned evenly, even though I smoked the whole thing rather quickly, in less than 45 minutes. I got hints of chocolate and leather, and, at the end, a nutty aftertaste.
