had this little gem last night with a couple of glasses on Cragenmore double wood.. it was a very good match.

the cigar had a perfect construction.. not a vein or bump in sight.. oily to the touch, and covered with plume... although it seemed a little tight at the touch, it did not have any draw issues and burned perfectly. it light up instantly, and stayed on ..

very creamy smoke with a smooth and long finish.. predominant honey notes from half way through... it was very tasty on my palate, and did not get too hot or spicy at all.. even towards the nub..

Highly recommended
non-blind rating of 90

Nice review. I haven't tried any of the Vegas Robaina line, which one would you recommend to try as an intro cigar to the line?


IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII have become, comfortably numb.

I'd go with either a famoso or a classico..

robainas are excellent medium bodied cigars... you'll like them... almost everyone does Wink

I had a light-wrappered Famoso that completely exceeded my expectations. However, the Unicos didn't cut it for me.
