Te Amo Robusto

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Te Amo Robusto opens with a medium-bodied profile of earthy cedar, roasted coffee, and light cocoa, accented by a gentle honeyed sweetness that lingers subtly on the palate. The retrohale delivers soft black pepper, toasted oak, and hints of dried hay, adding a rustic complexity true to its Mexican heritage. By the second third, flavors evolve into creamy almond, caramel, and a touch of baking spice, creating a smoother, more rounded texture. The final third introduces espresso crema, charred wood, and a hint of leather, finishing with a warm, balanced spice that endures pleasantly.

Construction and Draw
The San Andrés wrapper is a rich, earthy brown with a slight matte finish, seamlessly applied over Mexican binder and long-filler tobaccos from the San Andrés Valley, reflecting Te Amo’s traditional craftsmanship. The Robusto vitola is firmly packed with a clean cap and an even roll. The cold draw offers barnyard earth, sweet hay, and faint cocoa. Upon ignition, the draw is smooth and consistent, producing steady plumes of aromatic smoke. The burn line stays even with minimal touch-ups, while the ash forms compact, medium-gray stacks that hold well between drops, showcasing solid construction.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
The ideal whisky pairing for the Te Amo Robusto is Glen Grant 12, whose honeyed malt, soft orchard fruit, and delicate spice complement the cigar’s cedar, nut, and coffee-driven profile without overpowering its milder nuances.
