Tasting Notes

• Cream – Soft, elegant opening texture

• Sweet Cedar – Polished, classic core

• White Pepper – Gentle lift without bite

• Toasted Grain – Subtle warmth underneath

First Impressions

The Robusto is beautifully rolled with a silky, pale Ecuadorian Connectucut wrapper and ideal firmness. Pre-light aroma delivers cream, sweet cedar, and light bakery notes. Cold draw is textbook, immediately expressive and refined.

Smoking Experience

• First Third – Cream and sweet cedar lead with precision. Burn is razor sharp, smoke cool and dense.

• Second Third – Balance peaks. White pepper adds dimension while toasted grain supports the core.

• Final Third – Flavors soften and become bland, losing the earlier definition and sweetness. Construction remains perfect, but the profile fades.

Pairings

• Alcohol – Château de Laubade VSOP Bas-Armagnac - Gentle oak, dried apricot, and honeyed warmth reinforce the cigar’s elegance and help compensate for the fading finish.

• Tea – Taiwan Sun Moon Lake Black Tea - Naturally sweet and smooth, lifting the palate as the cigar’s final third tapers off.

Music Pairing

“Open Season” – Highasakite
Airy, melodic lift matching the cigar’s graceful mid-section.

Final Thoughts

Ferio Tego Timeless Sterling Robusto delivers elegance, balance, and flawless construction. The experience shines in the first two thirds, but the final third turns bland, preventing a more memorable finish.

Final Score: 8/10
Why not a 10?
Noticeable loss of flavor intensity and complexity in the final third.

Only cigars that deliver flawless draw, balance, flavour evolution, construction and satisfaction get a 10.
