Cocoa – Sweet, earthy richness throughout
Black Pepper – Subtle spice adds intrigue
Leather & Earth – Rustic finish with depth
First Impressions
The Serie L wears a silky Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that’s slightly oily and milk-chocolate in tone. Construction is sturdy, and pre-light aromas hint at cedar, barnyard earth, and cocoa — an inviting, approachable profile.
Smoking Experience
First Third – Opens quite bitter but later transtion to creamy and cedar-rich with a hint of sweet cocoa and restrained black pepper creeping in.
Second Third – Cocoa deepens, cedar remains balanced, a touch of earth and leather add rustic complexity. Spice remains mild, lending balance rather than intensity.
Final Third – Earth and leather take the lead, pepper recedes, and the smooth, medium-bodied finish lingers pleasantly. Ash and construction is very flaky all the way
Pairings
Alcohol: Maker’s Mark 46 Bourbon — nuances of caramel, toasted oak, and a hint of spice perfectly complement the cigar’s creamy sweetness and gentle cocoa, while echoing its cedar undertones.
Tea: Darjeeling Second Flush (India, Muscatel) — bright, muscat-tinged floral notes and mild astringency cut through the cigar’s creamy richness, refreshing the palate between draws.
Music Pairing
“Ho Hey” – The Lumineers. Heartfelt, simple, and soulful—reflecting the cigar’s honest charm and accessibility.
Final Thoughts
The League of Fat Bastards Serie L Robusto is a medium-bodied beauty—smooth, rich, and approachable. Ideal for both newer aficionados and those who seek a relaxing, flavorful smoke with a conscious cause. A solid all-rounder with a heartwarming mission.
Final Score: 6/10
Why not a 10?
Very loose draw and flaky ash, slight tunneling in the second third, start of quite bitter for the first 5 minutes.
Only cigars that deliver flawless draw, balance, flavour evolution, construction and satisfaction get a 10.
