Nice chilled smoke, slightly bitter towards the end. Better options at this size and price range.

Bought two to try. Found a split in the head of the first but decided to try. Very mild, not a great volume of smoke. Non-smokers found the room aroma pleasant reminds me of an old-fashioned country pub, low beams, leather chairs and open fire.
Started to canoe at halfway point; recut, relit but continued to canoe. Abandoned at the band.
One month, on tried the second again found split at the head. On cutting piece of black twig found and removed. On lighting, split at the foot developed and spread downwards leving only the band holding the cigar together. Gave it a try but abandoned.
All other cigars in the humidor (rh 69%) checked and found in food condition.

Slight toothiness to the wrapper which was extremely thin and delicate - as others have stated it is incredibly fragile and prone to ripping although mine did not do so at the cap but under the band. This thankfully didnt badly effect the smoke, which was pleasant throughout and full of deep cedar and earth flavours - tempered occasionally with a hint of nuttiness and spice although these were difficult to differentiate over the strength of the woody flavour. Obviously not as nuanced as other cigars but theres nothing wrong with a lot of strong flavours as long as they are good ones! The draw was a little on the loose side but this complimented the flavours by making it an easy smoke and it burned relatively evenly throughout. Will definitely try this one again to check for consistency but otherwise well worth trying for yourself.

Took a gamble and bought a sampler offer through Facebook and I’m glad I did , I would never have bought this cigar , but thanks to the sampler I have found a bargain high quality smoke. Wonderful 30-45 minute smoke , cedar , white pepper , leather and a wonderful aroma that reminded me of a cohiba siglo, for the price , well worth a go, i will be ordering another couple and let them age for a month or two, I have a feeling they may get even better !

Got this in a very good value CGars sampler a while back and decided to give the short robusto a try today. I found this to be a thoroughly enjoyable cigar. Gorgeous oily, wrapper, good construction and draw, medium to full bodied and sweet tobacco flavours. Id recommend this to anyone looking to try something a bit different.

Milder than the Corojo Robusto but no less enjoyable. Initially some very nice sweet notes (caramelised apples) that fade to pleasant leathery and earthy notes. I have now smoked two Robustos from the Aladino brand and I will certainly be coming back for more.
