“QUICK PUFF” – Casa Magna Oscuro Robusto
Nov 13, 2009 Cigar, Quick Puff
Tonight’s Quick Puff review is the Casa Magna Oscuro Robusto.
After the hubbub Casa Magna enjoyed over the Colorado Robusto which was named Cigar Aficionado’s cigar of the year for 2008, many people were eagerly anticipating this latest release.
The Casa Magna Oscuro has an incredibly dark Oscuro wrapper. As dark as any stick I’ve seen in a long time. The wrapper is very oily and very nice looking.
Aromas on the wrapper were faint, but the foot had a chicken coop or barnyard smell.
Flavors included some light woodiness, raisiny sweetness and some asian spice in the second third. A solid medium body throughout.
Burn was decent. A little uneven in the first third, but corrected by the second third.
Overall this stick was pretty good. Not overwhelmingly good, but a decent buy for the price. I found the flavors to be a little too muted for me. They were nice, but they were at a volume of 4 and I wanted a volume of 7 or 8.

I agree with your assessment of the Oscuro. I think it needs to sit longer and it could be a better than average. However, at this point, it’s just an average cigar. Even at $6 its still pretty “iffy”

Your assessment is right on target. I too was hoping it would be a bit stronger. Although I only smoked one, I prefer the Colorado. I am going to age it for a bit and see if it gets any better.
