La Perla Habana Black Pearl Cobre Robusto: Review

La Perla Habana
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Binder: Criollo
Fillers: Nicaraguan
Size: 5 x 52

Profile: the smoking experience starts off with a medium black pepper spice.  During the first inch the cigar comes across medium to medium full because of the peppery style.  After the first inch the spice settles and the flavors start to evolve.  During the second inch of the smoke the body is more medium.  A woody tone that seems like cedar blends in with a dash of pepper.  Soon a toasted barley grain mixes in with a hint of creamy oatmeal grain with the cedar note swirling around.  The pepper is still present, just a dash, but it is more on the back and aftertaste.  During the second half of the smoke the pepper seems to be more like a white pepper note.  After the second inch of the cigar to the finish the body is more mild-medium with a smooth and almost creamy feel.   

To the Point: take your time smoking this stick and experience the ever-changing flavor profile.   At three bucks a stick it is a very good value.
