Undercrown 10 Robusto: the cold draw reveals scents of chocolate. The opening delivers rich, spicy notes, with the black pepper standing out, enriched by chili.
The first third opens with a blast of peppery notes, together with a rich balsamic nuance. Some hints of seasoned wood are also present, and the strength is full (5/5).
In the middle third, the cigar continues on the rich peppery notes. The balsamic nuance is still present but in the background. The finish is dominated by hot spicy notes that last very long. The strength is now a little less powerful (4.5/5).
The final third confirms the black pepper and the chili notes, with the latter becoming more pronounced now, joining the pepper as tflavorn flavro. The finale turns to seasoned wood and a touch of balsamic herbs, and the strength decreases slightly (4/5).
Overall, the Undercrown 10 Robusto is a powerful and rich cigar. The spices dominate the smoke. The flavor profile is not very broad, but the aromas are rich, and every puff is incredibly flavorful.
