The La Reloba Seleccion Sumatra Robusto measures 5x50 with a very dry feel to the wrapper. It has a basic tobacco aroma to it along with a tight pack and a very nice band. The cigar features Nicaraguan binders and fillers and an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Like my last review, this cigar is also made My Father cigars. Let's light up.
The first flavors you get when this cigar is fully lit is definitely something different. It's a spicy chocolate flavor with a coffee on the finish. Those are normal flavors except for the spice. I've never had a spice mixed with a chocolate or coffee flavored stick. Unique, but good. The cigar has a nice even burn, a perfect draw with a good amount of resistance, and great smoke output. It's a smaller cigar so it burns pretty quick.
When you get through the 1/3 point, the 2/3 point brings a little change mainly to the flavor. The chocolate flavor fades as an earth/dirt flavor comes in. The finish is still bringing notes of coffee. The ash is pretty strong, but the cigar does go out really fast, so you need to keep puffing on it. I had to re-light it about 2 times throughout the review.
3/3's to the end brings back the chocolate flavors and the spice goes away. So you end the cigar with a chocolate flavor and some coffee on the finish. A very nice smoke. This cigar is easily an everyday smoke, especially because it's around $6. Medium bodied.
Stogie Rite score: 88
