Very much like a Rafarl Gonzales Perla, which to my taste is no bad thing. Great coffee time smoke, would recommend for people new to habanas, really mild and creamy with cocoa and vanilla notes.

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

A Tight draw is a consequence of the individual cigar roller and not the cigar it's self, any hand made cigar whether Cuban or Non Cuban can have a tight draw especially if the roller is inexperienced and the sad fact is that buying several single cigars especially at the same time will usually come from the same box and same roller so every body takes the same risk and the only indication your cigar may have a hard draw is feeling hard spots or knots especially around the band and cap area.
HOW TO DEAL WITH A PLUGGED HARD TO DRAW CIGAR, When the cigar wrapper is applied starting at the foot and ending at the cap the wrapper is twisted like an old fashioned sweet wrapper, cut then pushed into the end to form a flat surface for the cap to be applied, if too much of twisted wrapper is pushed into the head of the cigar it can become plugged, SO HOW TO REDUCE / ELIMINATE HARD DRAW (1) Try rolling the head and band area between your thumb and four finger for about 30 seconds this may loosen the the plugged tobacco (2)Cut the cigar again further down the cap but above the cap rim (3)If (1

Very let down. Didn't burn well and had a very hard draw. Felt like I was sucking for England but getting nowhere. Have another 3 of these in my humidor
Only hope they are better than this one !!!

Happy Valentines Day to all especially any lady herfers out there, the Epi 2 must rank in the top 3 Robusto cigars in the world together with the D4 and Wide Churchill they set the standard that other Robusto's espire to, the Epi 2 is very well built with double banding the draw and burn are just right the first third is quite mild in strength then building up with lovely fruity tastes the last third is fruity and spicy with a lovely aroma, suitable for all levels from the new starter to the Aficionado worthy of a place in your humidor.
