Consuegra DR (Dominican)

I picked up this bundle at the JR Cigars in Southfield, MI. 25 natural wrapped robustos, calling out my name as I walked by! Seriously, I wanted to go pick up this bundle and I'm glad I did. Haven't seen many reviews on this cigar. There are thousands of you out there who enjoy the maduro Consuegra cigars, particularily the #9's. I bought a bundle (if I remember, it was about $28 for the bundle/tax), and I will continue to buy these when I have room in my humidor. For being cigars that are classified as seconds, there is nothing more consistent, delicious, and economical than Consuegra. The DR version is about the same strength as the maduro version, but perhaps a bit lighter in aftertaste. The draw was acceptable. New cigars tend to be tight in draw, and these were not too bad. (Since I first got this bundle, they've been in my humidor with my favorite kiddie stickers on them for about 2 months, and I have found the draw has improved). What flavours/aroma that I could discern were tobacco (duh!), leather/tannins (reminded me of drinking a nice glass of merlot), and hints of grass. And not the Jamaican type! No harshness, even at the nub. I smoked one while drinking a Heineken. Neither cigar nor beer overpowered the other. Anyways, it found it to be a medium/full cigar (you might disagree, but your opinion don't matter here), well worth the price. Strike this as another victory for the Cheap Cigar Connoisseur.
