Cohiba Robustos Cigar - 1 Single
by Gary
I bought this cigar as part of the Cuban Robusto Taster pack, and was my 3rd in said pack. As a newbie to cigar smoking, I was looking forward to this one, being arguably the best Cuban brand. It didnt disappoint. What a beauty. A smooth, even draw, plenty of smoke, but probably a bit strong for me.
Another thing I really enjoyed (with a smile on my face), was the fact that I might not be able to afford a huge house, Aston Martin etc. But a working class Northerner can smoke some of the best cigars in the world...just like Winston.

I really enjoyed this cigar. A pleasant introduction to Maduro tobacco at a decent price. Due to the heavy gauge IÂ’d recommend a punch or, as I prefer a small drill bit, rather than a cutter. The cigar lasted about 20 minutes and burnt nice and evenly without the harshness often associated with less expensive cigars. The only downside was that it started to unwrap itself a little towards the finish. However IÂ’ll definitely be buying more of these.

As with the Dark Flake, this is supposedly a substitute for Dunhills Rolls, again its not. Nowhere close. Fruitier, yes, less boney (meaning it tends not to stick in the craw), no little spikes of harshness unlike the Dunhill original (whichever iteration) However, a delicious smoke and one I would buy often IF it was better priced. Personally £1.00 - £1.50 cheaper would make this more palatable. It just isnt truly worth the cost. I feel that the makers are basing the price on the names Dunhill and Charatan, calling a Mercedes a Rolls doesnt make it one. OK moan bit over, back to the tobacco. I went thru my first tin with rapidity as I enjoyed the blend, Va/Pers are a favourite of mine. This smokes easily, generally with one relight, I noticed the char has to be match made, lighters appear to scorch the flavour somewhat. Relights are fine with butane. Somewhat less dry compared to the Dunhill, but never moist, no gurgling. No dottle either, which is always a plus point. The tobacco burns clean leaving almost nothing for later. They have made this blend well proportioned a

Ive had several of these now and have to say i have not had a bad experience with any one of them, they are mild and slightly peppery burn well and evenly last around an hour and for my personal taste are extremely enjoyable, will definitely be ordering more

Strong strong strong! Loved this cigar. nicely constructed, even burn and a huge whack of nicotine.
Will definitely keep a supply of these at home.
