God of Fire - 2005 Robusto by Don Carlos

While my brother opted for the 2005 Robusto made by Carlitos, I went with the more senior Don Carlos edition. We purchased these at Casa Fuente in Vegas about 2 months ago for a staggering $35 a piece ($45 if the new tax passes…). They’ve been resting in the humidor for about two months waiting to be smoked. We decided to just go for it and smoke them this weekend without waiting for a monumental occasion.
Apperence was nearly flawless; only a slight hole was visible on the dark sumatra wrapper. Presentation is top notch. They come in little coffins and if you’re lucky enough to purchase a box, it’s a humidor box.
Aroma is distinctly Fuente. Cedar, oak, and almond were the predominant tones. It was very similar to an Opus X, but with a little more spice to the complexity.
This was a fantastic cigar. If it was $12, I give it a perfect 10 score. Unfortunately, it was priced far higher and thus I have to knock it down to a mortal level. Still, if you see one of these for purchase, don’t hesitate. If you can find or afford a box of these, you are truly a God of something.

I get so frustrated with cigars that you know are only bring super high prices because of the name. I’ve got kind of a personal vendetta against cigars like that and won’t smoke them…. well okay I won’t smoke them that often.
