Kinship Cigars Robusto in Review

WRAPPER: Pennsylvania Broadleaf
BINDER: Dominican
FILLER: Dominican

FORMAT: Robusto
ORIGIN: Dominican Republic
INTENSITY: Medium

NOTES:
Milk chocolate | Honey Malt | Cedar

Slowly evolves into a rather in-depth display of earthen hiking trail. Sunlit, pleasantly-so, calmly. Inherent sweetness, then slighter spiciness in an herbaceous manner. A study in delivery--musty. fusty, dusty. Honey malt, malty. Milk chocolate, a later to the game nougat. Peanut butter. Spices of cardamom, chamomile. White peppercorn, kindly. Lesser than that, hinted, all. Toasted sweet braided bread. All so barely, & wrapped in approach. A sense of tapestry.

Delivery-forward. A focus on adjectives of adjectives. Braced muscularly via a wood which only begrudgingly shows itself as a simple cedar; a tree limb recently hacked from its trunk. Fresh. Rigid & dry at first, come the 2/3, begins a journey of moistening, creaming via suede & then dairy bits. Ever-evolving but never in a flavor-forward way. Texture, body. Interesting but at times a bit maddening insofar as coyly taunting the palate. Do you want me to paint you or not, French girl? 

Well-built but too carries some hefty veins along its shaft. Draw begins hesitant, then comes around, evenly-tensioned thru-out. Wide mascara line. Ugly complected marbled ash but thick, dense. A proverbial sheath. No hard/soft spots. Decent cap/shoulder arrangement. Seams are less than tight pre-light, do not loosen via progression. A beautiful landscape, seen thru early AM pea-soup fog. An air of mysteriousness is invoked, pleasantly. Elusive. Pleasantly elusive. 

TASTE: B+
DRAW: B+
BURN: B+
BUILD: B+

FINAL GRADE: B+
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
