Smokin' Sandwich Robusto

Smokin Sandwich Smoked this one on my deck while pairing it with my favorite beverage, a Bud Light.

The construction is fair due to its softness. It had a bit of pepper taste the first few puffs then it went away. Lots of smoke. 1/4 into it and almost no taste. A little sweetness on the lips.

More than 1/2 way through and still very mellow. Almost no taste. However I found it creamy and good. I do like this cigar and it left me with a nice mellow buzz. Even burn throughout.

Overall a good smoke that I would buy again. Took about 45 minutes to get to the nub and about an hour to finish it.

From Holt's Cigars:

Smokin' Sandwich is quite plain and simply a tremendous cigar for the money. Now keep in mind that all things are relative. This is by no means a "Cigar of the Year" candidate, but this is also not your typical chopped-filler, garbage-quality stogie either. When you consider the value versus price equation, Smokin' Sandwich resides in the upper-echelon of the cigar world. Handmade in the Dominican Republic, these cigars employ silky Sumatra wrappers and a creamy blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos. Pleasant notes of wood and leather transition into a smooth, easy finish. Medium-bodied and flavorful, these cigars lack that sharp, unpleasant bite often associated with the low-cost bracket.
