I was a little concerned when I first lit this cigar because the draw was all air. It was so loose that I wasn’t sure it would even stay lit.

Five minutes later, though, the cigar came alive and began producing a full, rich, savoury smoke.
The 5 x 50 format is a fantastic size, and it’s easy to see why the Robusto remains the most popular vitola in the world.
The opening flavours were roasted nuts with a touch of white pepper, followed by a deeply savoury profile with a muted sweetness lingering in the background.
The flavour profile remained steady throughout, delivering a reliable and satisfying experience.
At around 70 minutes, this turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable smoke and excellent value for money.
