Berger & Argenti Entubar Robusto Natural Review

An interesting little concept where a small cylinder of ligero tobacco protrudes from the foot to offer more flavour and ensure a conical cherry whilst smoking.  Personally, a lot of these form vs function ideas are more like gimmicks such as the tickler head, shaggy feet, and excess wrapper over the foot.  However, the protrusion does add an extra dimension and really brings out the flavours.

It is a solid beautiful taupe cigar, neat cap, with a great draw.  The flavours are introduced with hints of spice, but later are solidified with woody accents, notes of cream and toasted almonds, finishing with earthy vanilla notes and exotic woods and vanilla cream with a dash of nutmeg spice.  Certainly a well balanced cigar, and an impressive treat after lunch, or before dinner.  And yes, the protruding foot nipple does enhance the smoking experience and helps the formation of a conical ember.
