Isla Del Sol 'Sun Blessed' Robusto. 5x50. Medium-light brown wrap with some veins. Excellent build and cut. Medium draw pre-light improved greatly after. Sweet taste on the cut cap. On the intake, taste is mild leaf, sweet botanicals, subtle herbs. Aromatic smoke. Exhale offers tastes of mild tobacco, warm sugar, walnut, toasted almond. Wrap became creamy during first half. In the second half, tobacco became rich with the spice shining in the exhale. Peppery toward the band. Nice even burn. Clean flaky ash held over an inch. This is another excellent aromatic from Drew Estate, one of the few cigar makers that makes flavored and aromatic smokes through curing rather than dipping. It's a mild, creamy stick with a pleasant, slightly sweet flavor. Great way to spend an hour. Highly recommend.
From the company:
"Wrapped in a sun-blessed Sumatran wrapper, this is a tripa mezcaldo blend of Nicaraguan leaf infused with a mix of exotic Sumatra Mandheling bean coffee. Handmade with a sugared tip, its smoke is deliciously flavorful and smooth with an aroma that is sure to please all in the room. The Isla del Sol is an affordably priced cigar with exceptional flavor."
