The Broncano Classic Rubi Toro had a nice start within the first third but quickly became either too tinny or too bitter by the final two thirds. It's not a terrible flavor profile by any means but nothing that engaged me for wanting more and more draws. Overall a pass for me.
I enjoyed the Broncano Classic Royal Blue Toro. I thought it was a balanced blend that delivered great Dominican flavors. There was a nice core flavor profile with some minor transitioning throughout. The flavors of sweet spices, earth, cocoa and cedar are classic flavors, and with the tobacco qualities present as well, it led to great experiences in each third. Solid construction was present with the cigar as well, and that is always a plus.
Every once in a while, I'm reminded of why I have a profound love for cigars. The Red Anchor Admiral is not just a one box buy, it is a multiple box buy. Yes it is pricey, but the enjoyment factor outweighs the price point. Hendrik Kelner Jr, I see you.
While not a complex profile, the flavors the cigar produced were good, centering around aged and slightly spicy cedar and cream. For those that enjoy smooth flavors with a low strength level, this cigar delivers just that.
The Smoking Jacket Henkie was a pleasure to smoke through and through. I loved how the flavors were so full, especially in sweetness, earth and just the right amount of balanced spice. Don't sleep on this one.
