dicko Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Gday all, I've enjoyed a handful of these and whilst they have been good I think they are a shade or two below their big bro the RASS robusto. Prefer to go a party short or something slightly bigger like a PC. However, this one was good and made a good lunchtime smoke in cold weather. touch over medium bodied and good smoke volume. 07 from czars singles selection. It had the RASS flavour profile of a 'dry' and leathery/barnyard. Sorry for no photos, my camera is still stuffed. but, appearance... It looked attractive with an orangey brown wrapper with an oily sheen and a criss cross of small veins, a patchwork raher than 2 or 3 big ones. I've found a lot of czar cigars have this vein structure, i dont know if smithy and rob look for this but i think it makes for a good smoke, maybe its somethin to do with the growth of the leaf, i dot know, just something ive noticed..lol, anyyyway initial- leather and wood in the background. -parika spice and dry chilli flakes. white pepper through the nose. 1st - bit of capsicum, concrete mix aftertaste and still woody in the background. - dry hay 2nd - dry hay and dry leather, yeasty and creamy through the nose. - reminds me of the woody cream of an h upmann PC - hints of a meaty leather in the exhale which i find to be a feature of the RASS. last 3rd - reasonably one dimensional, similar flavours, more straight tobacco. overall rating - good honest smoke, havent had a cigar in a week or so, just what i was looking for. points score - for mine, an 87/88 smoke Thanks for reading :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
