Corrida Brazil Robusto Plus - what a bomb!

Corrida Brazil Robusto Plus - actually that's how you write it: Robusto+ . And inauthentically too. What a hammer cigar! BANG! I love Brazil tobacco. But there must be experts at work composing the cigar so that your head doesn't explode and your tongue doesn't fall off! I have tested three specimens. You experience in my photo post what this cigar can do.

A cigar test is subjective

Note: How the cigar tastes is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the shape of the day, what you have eaten or drunk before. Even the lighting mood in the room has an influence on the experienced taste. The notes described here therefore do not have to match your own impressions.

Corrida Brazil Robusto Plus in test

Get ready for something when you buy this cigar. 100% Brazil Tobacco. But not in the way you think (in case you now think you don't like Brazil tobacco). The cold draw surprised me: it reminded me of forest and somehow also of "fresh forest". I don't know what my brain hatched there.

The wrapper is silky, the construction is even. Rolled a little too hard for my taste, but the draw resistance was still excellent. The lighting succeeds evenly, perhaps a bit more difficult than expected. But that does not matter, because the cigar glows perfectly afterwards.

The burn is constant. About halfway there was a crooked burn, which I had to correct with the flame. That was the only time. Interestingly, this happened with all three specimens that I tested.

The cigar has a strength 4/5, depending on the day even 5/5. It really pops your head off, so you should have eaten well beforehand. But nothing spicy please, so you can enjoy this full-bodied taste of the cigar.

It makes a lot of steam! The room note (aroma) is rich and spicy. Delightful!

Let's move on to the taste. Tongue and palate: a little sweet (discreet on the lips, and when the tongue got to it, I tasted it) / grassy / slightly peppery / spicy / woody (it reminded me of bark and freshly cut wood / with time a little salty / slightly acidic. A fantastically full bodied cigar. No lightweight!

Retronasal: grassy / slightly peppery / spicy / wood (also here bark and freshly cut wood, very interesting) / slightly acidic. //// ZiZo R+ Technique: slightly peppery / spicy / wood, also here as described earlier. Just an incredibly awesome, full-bodied, aromatic smoke. Yes, and strong.

The Corrida Brazil Robusto+ smolders excellent and long.

It increases permanently, but at a leisurely pace. That's totally okay, because it's so rich in flavor that you notice it right from the start. It starts like a jet plane: engine on (that takes a little time), then the thing rolls on the runway and very quickly becomes very fast and then: WUMMS, off into the sky, steeply up to the stars. That is the Corrida Brazil Robusto+ for me. Now I have to recover first.

As always, "If the cigar tastes good to me, then maybe to you. But if you don't like it, then there's more for me!" 🙂
