PARTAGAS Y NADA MÁS SANTIAGO ROBUSTO (5 x 50)

WRAPPER: HABANO 2000

BINDER: SUMATRA

FILLER: PILOTO, COROJO, ECUADOR, BROADLEAF

Sweet cream, cashew, spice, and a sprinkle of oak, just a sprinkle, get things moving with Y Nada Más. Brings a super easy draw and a thick, hefty smoke output.

The finish has a tart quality with coffee and leather jockeying for position.

A pleasant cinnamon hits the palate. Nice.

The retrohale is rather clean and unremarkable. No big deal. I’m not the most retrohaling guy. I can take it or leave it.

I caught a live performance from Faith No More on YouTube the other day. It was their set at the 1995 Pinkpop Festival. Truth be told, I would’ve tuned in to about any of their live performances just to watch Mike Bordin drum. The man is a beast. If I’ve mentioned Bordin in past posts, it’s for good reason. If I haven’t, it’s a shame. He has to be one of rock’s most underrated drummers. He’s in my top five.

Y Nada Más burns without assistance at a good pace with a solid burn line. Ash is a bit on the flaky side but not too shabby.

SMOKE TIME: 1 hr. 25 mins.

RATING: 3.25 / 4 - Not the most retrohaling guy.
