A cigar test is subjective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Note: How a cigar tastes is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the form of the day, what you have eaten or drunk beforehand. Even the lighting in the room has an influence on the flavour you experience. The notes described here therefore do not necessarily correspond to your own impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion Villiger La Meridiana Robusto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What a journey of pleasure! I tried three of them (at different times of day). They all tasted similar to me. One of them tasted much, much, much nuttier to me than the other two. Why was that? I have no idea! Maybe it was the food, because I tested this one after dinner at around 7pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workmanship is top, the draw resistance is optimal, the burn is slightly crooked from time to time (but nothing dramatic at all). The flame helped, most of the time it corrected itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Robusto is a very good format, as it somehow brings an optimal and \u201ecompact\u201c flavour journey into cigar time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAPPY SMOKE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always: \u201eIf I like the cigar, maybe you will too. But if you don't like it, then there's more for me!\u2018 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
