Smokes well. The wrapper was a bit flaky, I had to lick it down at the bottom end and it came undone a little bit most of the way down but it wasnt a problem. Taste is ok - like a cheap cuban I guess, it reminded me of the guantanamera - you get a lot of the sharpness and not much else. Nice with a sweet beverage. For the price its worth a try, I was pleasantly surprised how big it was considering its a petit corona. Its bigger than the inka red petit corona.

Probably the worst cigar I have smoked. Alec Bradleys are such good cigars I dont even know why they bother with this one. The draw was awful it had a terrible side burn it leaves a horrible harsh taste in the mouth. I got half way down an got rid. It is absolutely over priced and nowhere near the standard of alec bradley I have become acustomed to. Seriously dont waste your money buying this cigar I cant think of one good thing to say about it.

Don’t really know what to say about this one. I received it as part of the short and quick smokes sampler, and also bought the bigger chubby version on top. I’ve only smoked the little one so far and honestly it was rubbish. From the start, it tunnelled badly, but then evened out. The flavour was mediocre at best, disappointing all the way through. Only toward the final third did any pepper or spice come through, and even that was shot lived. About three or four puffs before it soured again and got too hot to smoke. I haven’t smoked the big brother to this yet, but judging by this ones performance, I’m not holding out much hope!

Im new to smoking bigger cigars, i normally smoke the quick castellas etc. i have been trying out some of the favourites from this site, and i have to say this one is right up there as my favourite. Very smooth, amazing draw and smoked right to end without any bitter aftertaste. Cant believe you can get such a good quality cigar at this price.. definitely ordering more of these!

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.
