I smoked a Cohiba Robusto and really enjoyed it! Bags of thick creamy smoke with mild flavours. I then sampled a Boliver Royal Corona, Hoyo Epicure No.2, Por Larranaga Petit Corona, and these were very disappointing… I’m in the process of sampling different brands and types of cigars, eventually deciding which to stick to in the future.
