Product Introduction
The Cohiba Robusto is part of the Cohiba Linea Clasica line. It has an origin in Cuba, with a wrapper, filler, and binder all from Cuba. It's hand - made, weighing 11.66 g. The box code is LPA MAY 08. The prices are $15.59 USD (single), $44.58 USD (3 - pack), and $379.64 USD (25 - box).
Appearance
The wrapper is a natural shade, but there's a greenish splotch at the foot and a slight hole in the cap. There's also some slight veining, and the wrapper is smooth and slightly oily. The band isn't fully glued at the back.
Construction
It's well - rolled, with a perfect draw. The triple cap is nicely applied despite the tiny hole. It feels round and has a good weight. The ash is black to dark gray and flaky, breaking off about every inch. The burn is slightly off, and the reviewer relit it twice.
Flavor
- One third: It starts with a medium profile, with flavors of sweet grass, tobacco, and leather.
- Two thirds: It has a grassy aroma, and the sweetness is replaced by a hint of black pepper.
- Three thirds: It becomes medium - full in body. The grassy aroma fades, but pepper and tobacco remain. It gets a bit harsh and bitter.
Value
It's an expensive cigar. The reviewer thinks it's worth the price, but would rate it higher in value if the cigars were older.
The reviewer believes this classic Cohiba Robusto is a bit young and should rest for another 12 months to become a better smoke.
