Vegas Robaina Famosos Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
This had great potential looked great from the outside, cut cleanly but a prelighting drawn immediately warned me how tight the cigar was. I can not say that I again disappointed at the quality control of Cuban cigars over those from the New World. I prefer Cubans but they are hit and miss and at the current prices that it is fair risk.
When I did achieve a decent mouthful of smoke this cigar was great but so hard to smoke. Cuba needs to raise its game and become more consistent, the products are great BUT expensive and when you spend this sort of money perfection is not an unreasonable expectation, especially from an EMS cigar. Hunters & Frankau take note. I bought two Ramon Allones Specially Selected in St Tropez and they were excellent which begs the question as to whether the UK gets the best anymore.

Cut it before I took the dog for a walk and found the draw very tight so couldnt get much taste out of it. However once back home I cut it further down - it has a deep cap and it sprang to life. Pleasant and consistent taste. I had originally bought it to keep for a year but it was my last stick left. May buy another one and keep for a year. I think (hope) itll improve with age, which is more than I can say about myself.

Not happy with this stick, it did do everything right like the cut the light & burn were all great, however it smoked like dry leaves & did not taste of anything special, cardboard is what I got!
Maybe I had a dud as Iv read good things about them, not in any rush to try it again.

Tastes nice, quite sweet. Burns evenly, but the draw doesnt fill the mouth as much as Id like. The last third gets bitter towards the end.
