Review: Knuckle Sandwich Robusto Connecticut

This is the highest rated cigar to date for me. It did not have a razor sharp burn unfortunately which lowered construction/ burn points. Although it had those problems it was a fantastic cigar that is box worthy in my opinion. Buy at least a couple to experience them for yourself.

This cigar is a wonderful example of being able to blend tobacco so well it’s difficult to pull out individual notes. It was a delicious blend of flavorful notes. It is higher on the pepper scale vs other cigars, but fantastic none the less. I put – on strength, but I would give it a two out of five in that area.

The cigar of choice by residents of flavor town!

Heavy Pepper in the first couple of draws. Then a Sweet Nutty Floral note. As it progressed I noticed the Cedar, White Pepper, Vanilla, Honey was blended so well it gave me a milkshake taste.

Sweet Woody notes, Vanilla, Creamy, Smooth, white pepper, Carmel. I’m reminded of this hipster creamery that would make a vanilla ice cream with a drizzle of olive oil.

The Pepper picks back up again. The delicious notes of the second third are still present though. Vanilla, Sweet, Carmel, Ice Cream and Smooth.
