My first review please have mercy with me. Today was a lovely sunny day so I took the chance to try a Vegas Robaina Petit Unicos from July 2012. Texture is very nice and even, light brown wrapper. The cap a bit shiny, The cold drawn reminds of fruits & herbs. Drawn was very good, not to loose not to tight. Looks like we can get friends. Toasting was not so easy, the cigar has some resistance to get burned. But finally she made it. First puff had been very surprising to me. I expected a very strong cigar, but it had been very smooth, medium-light and creamy with a lot of smoke. Taste of black cherries - stone fruits and mocha came along. Burn was uneven but manageable. Few puffs later I was loosing the ash. Still the taste of mocha and caramel, not sweet at all, very pleasant. Ooopss some pepper blast came up from nowhere, just a nice change of pace. Now we getting into the full bodied area, still very smooth. Okay some hints of ammonia - still okay for a very young cigar. This nice piece turned into a full-bodied monster (in a good way). Pepper is gone, mocha still their and some really deep black cherries in the back. The Robaina is getting a bit tangy and the ammonia is getting present. The glue was very strong so I leave the band as I was afraid to crack the wrapper. What I really like was the smooth taste, no bitterness or harshness, the change of pace and the smoke volume. What I dislike was the uneven burn. A couple of years will do them good.
