However, I'm a little confused about this cigar. Is the La Aroma de Cuba now maufactured by Don Pepin Garcia in Nicaragua and not by Ashton? Regarding when to put down a cigar, I say the cigar will tell you when it's time. Sometimes that's after the first few puffs. I can name lots of examples when this has been the case, but won't.

I had a la aroma de cuba this evening. I'm not sure when, but it is supposed to be reblended now. I really don't have any thing different to write about this cigar. However, you smoke a cigar until it does not taste good to you any more. I always enjoy your reviews Jerry. I had a la aroma de cuba this evening.

I smoke my cigars almost throught the whole way. when a cigar is really good, it's mostly because the last part is good. average cigars die earlier IMO. Hey.

I think the way the ends capture the tars and flavors differently greatly affects the taste once you get past the halfway point on this cigar. I think it's more like the last third of the Robusto that really makes it an experience. I had a La Aroma De Cuba Robusto in my humidor for about 9 months and just smoked it last night. I got the same spice from it right away - it was intense on an unlit draw. Once I toasted her up, I got the same light spice, woodsy, earthy tones. It stayed that way until the last third when I was thinking, "Man, I'm just going to put this down because it's getting tired." But, that cocoa flavor suddenly kicked in and I'm still thinking about it. I described the flavor to my wife as your favorite old leather bag filled with cocoa. She looked at me funny, but I think you all will get it. By the way, the Robusto goes great with an ice-cold Leffe Blonde at around dusk. As is true with any cigar I smoke, once I stop enjoying a cigar (for at least 5 mins) I put it down. The whole point is to enjoy the flavors, aromas and relax. I don't want to ruin or diminish a nice experience. As for the band: take it or leave it. I don’t think anyone really cares anymore. It’s a personal preference. I think that if you're concerned about etiquette and aren't sure what you should do, just wait until the cigar heats up and take off the band. It would at least show that you know what you're doing.
