The Cigar
Morro Castle Robusto
Wrapper: Ecuador Sumatra
Fillers: Nicaraguan and Honduran
Size: 4.7 x 52
Off the Light:
moderate oak and soil earthy tones. A
nice robust start for a mild-medium smoke.
As the burn continues the slight robust start mellows after the first
half an inch. The moderate oaky note
settles to a touch of oak with a good buttery wheat bread note stepping up to
the plate. There is a mild coffee taste
with a mushroom earthy tone kicking in.
The texture is smooth and mellow overall for the first half. I’ll give it a 4 on my strength scale.
Second Half: the
smooth and mellow texture graces the palate for a pleasurable morning
cigar. The light oak and damp earthy
tones along with the mild coffee taste continues. The damp earthy tone reminds me of portabella
mushroom and lightly toasted leafs. I
did not pick up any peppery spice on this robusto like I did on the Toro
size.
My Strength Rating:
4 – mild-medium
To the Point: a
very good mild-medium smoke. I
personally like this as a morning time cigar.
You will enjoy smoking this down to the nub.
The Coffee
Margaritaville Coffee State of Mind
Medium/Dark Roast
$5.00 from Big Lots for a 12oz bag
Blend: South
American, African and dark roasted Indonesian coffee
Nothing super special here. It is just a straight forward tasty
medium/dark roast coffee.
The Pairing
The medium/dark roasted coffee flavor blends well with the
light earthy tones of the cigar for a great morning experience. The buttery toasted wheat bread note of the
cigar mingles with the State of Mind coffee to make you think you are eating
breakfast during this pairing.
If you are looking for a very good morning cigar to enjoy
with your coffee the Morro Castle Robusto is it.
