Aliados Original Robusto 雪茄 - 單支

The earthy notes from the wrapper hit right from the first light, and the ash held on for almost an inch before dropping. Nice, even burn that needed zero touch-ups, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

The construction on this robusto is impeccable, with a firm, even roll that burns slow and cool to the nub. The flavor profile is smooth and surprisingly complex for a single stick purchase.

Smooth draw from start to finish, and the ash held firm well past the halfway mark. Burn was even throughout, though it needed a relight near the final third. Solid smoke for the price.
