Blanco Nine Robusto earned its name after eight blending attempts, with the ninth finally judged perfect, and the result is a medium to full bodied Nicaraguan cigar with a big profile in a 5 x 52 format. Earth, coffee and spice dominate the palate, followed by a full and long lasting body.
The wrapper is a dark, oily and marbled Nicaraguan Oscuro Corojo that has been aged for a minimum of three years. Beneath it sits a binder from the Jalapa Valley, and three different ligero leaves from various Nicaraguan tobaccos form the whole leaf long filler. The result is a complex, sophisticated taste and aroma in a full flavoured, full bodied cigar.
Before lighting, the foot gives off notes of wood and cocoa, and the first puffs bring big flavour right off the light. The draw is smooth and the cigar produces clouds of rich smoke, so the Blanco Nine Robusto delivers its strength through flavour and volume rather than harshness.
Smokers who prefer fuller Nicaraguan blends with a deliberate, flavour first profile will find a lot to like here. The robusto size brings the blend into a manageable session, and the Nine is offered in bundles of 20 for regular smokers who want a dependable, bold favourite on hand. The 100% whole leaf long filler supports an even burn.

Got this in my monthly subscribers box. Definitely a flavourful smoke. Been doing touchup every 1/4 of the cigar from canoeing. May have just gotten an unevenly filled cigar. Can definitely taste a wood and spice. I wont be adding this to my cart, but if I was offered one to smoke I wouldn’t refuse.
