DK, I have to admit I have only had one or two of these since the review. Have not had a craving.

Yea, it does suck to be a cigar smoker in Canada! I about crapped when I seen the prices you guys have to pay due to taxes plus the diseased lung pictures they have to put on every box. Don’t feel so bad, the U.S. is not far behind.

I thought I was going to be in Canada next week but my job got called off. It is to bad, I love visiting you guys. Good beer, good people what else could you ask for? Well cheaper cigars!

Just tried the Cuvee Blanc Robusto this afternoon, and I’ll have to agree with the majority of the other reviews in that it is a really light cigar, great for beginners. I’m more of a fan of medium to more full-bodied cigars that offer more complexity. It really didn’t change much in the way of flavor or notes right from the first third down to the bottom third. The common note I found throughout the duration of the cigar was creaminess, but often at times, I also found it to be slightly musky. At times there was a subtle hint of earth and leather, slight nuttiness, but nothing too dramatic enough to raise my attention. I did find that the bottom third offered a tiny note of peppery spice but again, nothing too dramatic. The cigar was really well constructed with a great draw and even burn. My smoke time was quite fast as up here in Canada your enjoyment of the cigar is cut short from trying not to freeze your ass off. As such, the spicy notes may have come from the fact that I might have been over-burning my cigar from smoking too fast..I dunno. All in all though, it was a very one-dimensional cigar. Definately not one of my favorites, but again, perfect for the beginner smoker, and great for a Sunday afternoon smoke…unless you’re some place warmer than Canada…this place sucks to smoke cigars.

Shawn- I can take criticism as long as it is constructive. I do not always explain myself perfect but I’m working on it.

I was trying to point out mustiness. Like a damp basement, slightly moldy as you stated.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to disagree. Disagreeing does not make you a jerk, it is one of the many things that keep this great country on the up and up

I retract my previous statement. After smoking this cigar, it is possible you were trying to describe a moldy stale flavor.

I was wrong to assume you meant “strongly sweet.” My apologies.

The word is “musk” not “must.” I’m really not a jerk, and I apologize in advance, but not knowing what words you’re using makes me _much_ less likely to return to this website.
