When rating this cigar, context is key.
I was specifically hunting for an affordable 30 - 40 minute smoke to enjoy while walking the dog - something well-constructed and consistent. This machine-made stick, utilising long-filler tobacco (ideally with a touch of Cuban leaf), hits that brief perfectly.
It consistently delivers exactly what I need for a casual outing, earning it a full five stars for its 'fitness for purpose.' My only minor critique is that the final third can leave the palate feeling a bit dry with a slightly ashy aftertaste. I’m curious to see if a few months in the humidor will smooth that out, but even as-is, I will certainly be restocking.
The search for the ultimate cheap long-filler continues, but for now, this is my reliable go-to.

I received this cigar as part of the Try Something New mystery cigar offer and it offers very good value for money. The dark wrapper has an appealing appearance and, overall, construction was decent. It was, however, let down slightly by a lack of consistency, with a few soft spots noticeable along the length. The draw was very good straight after first light, which is worth noting as cigars of this size can often smoke on the tight side.
The first third was pleasant and approachable, delivering earthy flavours alongside some leather and a light touch of pepper. As the cigar moved into the second third, it developed some enjoyable hazelnut notes. These flavours were not entirely consistent, coming and going rather than remaining firmly established, but were welcome when present.
In the final third a slight bitterness did appear, though nothing overpowering, and the cigar remained perfectly smokeable right to the end.
Overall, this is a solid value cigar and I’m glad I gave this Drew Estate cigar a go. It is not something I would regularly reach for, but it did exactly what t

Sweet cigar I enjoyed with a friend for his first smoke. Tobacco isn’t bad for a £6 cigarillo, strength was very mild. Sweetness was a bit much for me, I’d rather have the blondie.
My friend enjoyed the taste and he couldn’t feel much nicotine so I guess for a beginner it’s a good way to dabble your feet in.

Great little pipe cleaners. I find it very easy to get in the holes and with a bit of alcohol on it, it cleaned all the gunk out in short order. They're stiff enough to push through easily and I recommend them

Easily my favourite every day smoke. I've been through a couple of tins of these now and they've become my go to. I've introduced a couple of other people to them and they all agree that they're a reliable cigar that doesn't seem to miss. I'm a slow smoker but I can comfortably make one last 40 plus minutes

The Davidoff Escurio Robusto was an enjoyable and distinctive cigar that introduced me to a different side of Davidoff’s portfolio. Using Brazilian and Dominican tobacco, it delivers a flavor profile that feels livelier and more expressive than some of their more traditional blends. On the cold draw, I picked up sweet spice, wood, and a slightly tangy note.
Once lit, the first third brought an interesting mix of creamy smoke, black pepper, and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of molasses or dried fruit. The cigar felt medium-bodied, with excellent balance right from the start. As it progressed, the sweetness and spice played off each other nicely, joined by notes of cocoa and cedar.
The construction was excellent, with a steady burn and effortless draw throughout. In the final third, the cigar picked up a little more intensity, becoming richer and slightly earthier while remaining smooth and controlled.
The Escurio Robusto feels vibrant and modern without losing Davidoff’s signature refinement. It’s flavorful, well-balanced, and very approachable—an excellent option for those
