This is why I write things down, because I forget. When I get home, I'lll look in my dossier and remember what I noted. Perhaps I'll even do a vitola comparison of my own and look for similarities and differences.

I love this cigar. I have a pile of them that are aging and going to be smoked next summer when it's nice and warm outside. I don't keep a dossier of cigars but my palate does keep changing and evolving so I'm curious what I get out of these next summer; I'm sure they will be excellent smokes.

Nice review! I have had the Robo, Toro, Churchill and Torpedo. I love all of them, but I think the Robusto is my favorite. Not sure why, but it seems to be a bit more full bodied than the other vitolas.

Sometimes you guys make me chuckle. Not that I doubt your palates are that refined, but I have a hard enough time telling the difference between a blackberry vs raspberry, or merlot vs cab, or hazelnut vs almond, or french roast vs espresso coffee in real, actual food... to say nothing of correctly identifying those notes in a cigar. Hey, more power to ya!

I was smoking them wrong for years until about till about 5 years ago. I noticed that I was only getting some of the flavors because I didnt retrohale (passing the smoke up through the ofactory nerves through the nose) -. It opened up for me a new world of taste. Distictive taste are in the nose not the mouth. Your tongue only knows salt, sweet, bitter, sour and some say umami. The first time I retrohaled I about tossed a lung. It took alot of practice until I final got it. I now pass 85-90% of the smoke through the nose without inhailing into the lungs.

umami? What's that?

Sounds like a south miami nudie mag, U-Mami. It is actually the fifth flavor of taste. It is when all the taste are reached at the same time. A savory flavor is the best way to describe it. Most asian cultures exhibit this in their cooking.

Thanks for the review. The Toro is my favorite size in the Miami.
