If you know me, you know I enjoy fine tobaccos. From time to time I may post reviews of notable cigars I have smoked on my blog. This is my first review (i.e. n00b palate warning) so please bear with me.
Just finished off an RP Fuma. It's a short filler mixture of Vintage 1990, 1992, and Fusion trimmings. I think these are a CI exclusive, I haven't found any information about them anywhere else. Anyway, on to the review!
I was pleasantly surprised by the construction. Wrapper was smooth and dark, no veins. My cheapo cutter made a nice cut. A small flake of the wrapper came loose, but no problem.
Pre-light draw was delicious. Reminded me of a well-seasoned steak, leathery with hints of cinnamon and chocolate. (Imagine a well-worn leather shoe with a piece of dark chocolate inside and sprinkled with cinnamon... scratch that, that sounds horrible.) I could savor that flavor forever. The light took a couple attempts to get the burn even, but once it was done it burned perfectly all the way through.
The first half tasted of leather with the cinnamon i mentioned earlier and a bit of something... citrusy maybe? There was definitely some tanginess in it that picked up in the second half, enough to make my mouth water. The last 1.5-2 inches it got a bit harsh and had to let it go.
This is definitely a great cigar for the price. If I can ever get hold of a box (CI's out of stock) this will become my go-to smoke. If anyone knows where to get some of these, please to let me know. 8/10

I used a punch to cut the cigar. The smoke is very elegant but abounding and affluent in acidity assuming toast and butter. It put up a acceptable appearance and proved to be a gentle, but beautifully flavorful cigar.
