Sitting here in the quiet of a lovely evening I finally took out this cigar from a 3 month stint in my humidor and dedicated some quality time to this great cigar. Not a beast of a double or a Churchill but still a suitable size and gauge for some well spent herfing. At first I was a little surprised by the harshness but settling in it transitioned into a wonderfully mellow smoke, easy draw and plentiful white fragrant smoke. Excellent construction and burn, though the ash dropped after less than an inch little flowering and not a single burn issue. In my opinion will only get better with some age to it. The final third is a pleasure and am reluctant to put it down. Soft, mellow and worth every penny. Would I buy again, you bet, but as a box so I can pop them away for a bit and dream of another day when I can sit back with the sun shining and time to dedicate to it. Thankfully still two more maturing away so will have to wait before I can justify to myself to buy again, what a pity..

it probably needs some ageing or something, Im new to ageing cigars, and I haven't had this one that long since i bought it from cgars but, the draw was too airy and hardly any flavour. Draw did pick up in final third though and so did the flavour once i nubbed it. but over all slightly disappointing.

For Simon, I think you will find this Robusto cigar may fit your requirements, 50RG suburb looking with the double banding, a good draw and medium strength with notes of fruit and spice through out, I would also recommend the Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill 55RG a very decadent looking cigar with a suburb draw again medium strength with notes of caramel, fruit and spice both are truly outstanding cigars.

All I can say is WOW! This must rate as one of the best Robustos around. I loved the mild aroma with plenty of smoke, the cigar had a creamy taste, it burned very evenly and never got hot until the very end. The cigar seemed of an excellent standard of construction. I will purchase more of these without any doubt and cannot wait to try the Petit Robusto and the Epicure Especial. An excellent breakfast and day time cigar..

This was my first smoke since giving up cigarettes 16 years ago. A very gentle reintroduction to the temptations of tobacco. Drew well. No overwhelming nicotine. Remained very pleasant all the way through. No bitterness. Very enjoyable - would be a very good beginner smoke
