Gifted Hamlet Robusto from Mike MADANDANA --- Live Review

[Rushman]

Thanks for the good time and cigars my friend.

This cigar is so well-made. The leaf texture is like silk. In fact if I could have shirts made out of this leaf I would do it.

Pre light draw was perfect. Aroma at cold was a little barnyard but very muted.

Enjoying this after a very large meal of beef fajitas with all the fixins.

First little bit of the cigar is mild but super delicious. I'm not kidding the texture is like velvet.

I'm smoking the cigar as I'm sitting on my terrace listening to the Caribbean Sea bacsh against the rocks. Not much moonlight over here but I can pick out the white caps every now and then.

Now is as good a time as any to apologize for missing the Cuba havanafest. The wife and I were planning on going but unfortunately had to make a side trip to the states to take care of my my mother who is ailing. Cuba will always be there but my mom will not.

First third still quite mild but gaining a slight peppery note. Quite earthy.

By the way I'm listening to a podcast from "stuff you should know"

If you don't know these guys look them up they're quite informative and funny.

this episode is on crop circles of all things

Just about the midway point not getting very strong picking up a little bit of strength the peppery notes continue

[Rushman]

This cigar is a late bloomer. Not in the sense of it just now getting good. It's been really good from the start but is now getting very strong.

Mike and Dana are great people and shared how much they enjoyed visiting with you en route. The cigar's not too shabby either!

Sounds sad to our BOTLS in warm climates but when the pilot told us it was 38 F I was relieved. Thought we'd come home to colder temps.

Very nice--Thanks!
