I’d like to thank the generous folks at La Caya Cigars for giving me a chance to try their products. This review is for the La Caya Brazil Robusto.
Right off the bat, one thing that is unique about this cigar is the Brazilian wrapper. More often then not, Brazilian leaves are very rough looking, but this is a smooth looking wrapper with small veins and no wrinkles. It is firm to the touch and gives me an easy pre-light draw.
As I light this stick, what I notice right away is that this is a rich cigar. This robusto is full in body but medium in strength.
I pick up a wide variety of flavors, first a nice strong black coffee which is dry on the palate. As it progresses, there is a subtle sweetness with a nice long earthy finish. The draw is briefly tight during the middle but this is a rewarding full-flavored smoke that can be enjoyed after a nice hearty meal or when you want to unwind at the end of the day. Thanks again to the folks at La Caya Cigars for letting me try their fine products!

I wish I could say the same, as the two that I had, were very bland. They were a very appealing cigar but to me it’s all show and no go! Everything screamed a great cigar but I found this cigar to be almost tasteless with few hints of chocolate and tobacco.
