JJF HB Robusto (FRW Oct23)

[MagicalBikeRide]

Rare occasion that sun was out, zero wind and my youngest is having a nap. So treated myself to the new JJ Fox house blend robusto. I went to their launch during the week but could only stay for the Canonazo.

 

Notes I scribbled are below. 

 

General:

Silky wrapper 

Amazing aroma on light 

Opening half inch is memorable 

Complex - different on almost every puff  

Tons of smoke

Draw slightly looser than typical Cuban

Razor sharp burn - zero touch ups 

 

1/3

Cream, honey, croissant, homemade hot chocolate. Mild. 

 

2/3 

pain au chocolat, Lindt Lindor (the wee choc balls), coffee, showing of some earthiness that I can’t define better. Moving toward medium / plus. 

 

3/3

Sweetness much less prominent, maybe a sweet bitterness at most (?), leather, more intense earthiness, touch of partagas, has legs… Slightly above medium. 

 

Nabbed a second pint of stout toward end. Clouds stayed away. Bliss.
