The Hamlet Liberation Robusto is a line created by Hamlet Jaime Paredes, a Cuban torcedor who arrived in the United States in 2015. The Liberation line was inspired by his past (now thirty years) as a roller, in particular by having to create cigars, during events, without any molds. For this reason, Hamlet wanted to develop a line different from all the conventions of the cigarette industry. The cigars are recognizable, in addition to the two bands, by the shaggy foot.
This line of cigars is sold in ten-count lacquered boxes.
The cigar is wrapped in a slightly matte Maduro leaf with dark reflections. Itsomewhathtly rough to the touch, with light veins. The construction and draw are excellent.

Hamlet Liberation Robusto: clear aromas of spices and nuts are perceived in the cold draw, enriched by nuances of cocoa.
Once lit, the smoke is sapid on the palate and characterized by a very evident spicy sensation. It expresses intense earthy notes, followed by less marked hints of wood and black pepper. Strength is medium (3/5).
In the central section, the spicy sensation vanishes. The evolution brings intense notes of walnut and almond, followed by the unchanged note of wood, all enriched by the peppery component, which is not as pronounced as before.
In the last third, the cigar expresses spicy and woody notes, with a hint of leather. Strength increases slightly (4.5/5).
In conclusion, the Hamlet Liberation Robusto offers a full and satisfying smoke. The profile is rich, while the palatal impact is slightly rough but still pleasant. The flavor intensity manages to keep up with the strength level.
