La Herencia Robusto
I was lured into the La Herencia shop by its logo, which looks awfully familiar to another cigar company. I picked up one of my favorite sizes and figured I would just give it a whirl. I got no input from the store at all on my purchase.
By the way, I'm smoking it as I type. Also, I'm drinking coffee with caramel and cayenne in it. I'm not sure if that's cool or a little wussy. Either way, it's really good.
Construction: Really solid, the draw isn't effortless but it's close. It's burning evenly, and I haven't had to relight or anything.
Taste: The taste is also pretty good. It's a medium to full-bodied cigar, it's got some sweet notes that my aforementioned coffee is bringing out.
Stats: I can't find any info about the tobacco. If I had to guess I would say it was Honduran and or Nicaraguan. I can say that they are constructed here in Ybor. They sell them for $5 a pop in their store or online. That price goes down if you buy them by the bundle.
Overall: This cigar was very good. At $5 a pop, they are pushing it a little when it comes to value, but that could easily be worth it to someone who really has a subjective preference for the taste of these cigars. All in all, I would say, give them a try.
