Brick House Robusto

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Brick House Robusto opens with a medium-bodied warmth, delivering approachable flavors of sweet cedar, toasted bread, and roasted peanut over a base of light leather, gentle earth, and baking spice. The retrohale adds white pepper, nutmeg, and a touch of honey, bringing brightness and subtle sweetness to the core profile. By the second third, the cigar develops caramelized sugar, soft cocoa, and cashew notes, while the pepper mellows into a mild, lingering undertone. A faint dried fruit nuance emerges, weaving cedar, cream, and spice into a smooth mid-palate. In the final third, the flavors deepen with espresso crema, toasted oak, clove, and a trace of molasses, finishing warm, balanced, and gently sweet-spiced.

Construction and Draw
The Robusto vitola is solidly constructed with a Nicaraguan Havana Subido wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers, showing tight seams, a neatly applied cap, and an even, firm pack. Cold draw reveals cedar, nut, and a hint of pepper. Upon lighting, the draw is ideal—slight resistance producing steady, aromatic smoke. The burn line remains even with minimal touch-ups, and the ash forms medium-gray stacks that hold well between taps. Combustion is cool and consistent, ensuring a steady delivery of flavor from start to finish.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
Pair with Buffalo Trace Bourbon or Glenmorangie Original 10 Year; both complement the cigar’s nutty, toasty sweetness while enhancing its cedar and spice elements.
