Appearance
The 50 ring gauge is suitable for a comfortable smoke. The wrapper is fairly rustic and may have a few water spots on some samples. It is well - rolled and usually has no obvious visual defects.
Construction
The draw is usually good, but some cigars may seem underfilled, resulting in an overly open draw. The burn is generally stable, with no canoeing experienced, though the burn line is not always razor - sharp, especially in older boxes.
Flavor
- First third: It starts with a peppery Cuban blast, then quickly shows cocoa and chocolate notes. There are also spices, nutmeg, and almond flavors.
- Second third: It becomes more woody with clear cedar flavors.
- Last third: The cedar flavors intensify, with medium - plus power and no bitterness. The finish is full - flavored.
Value
It is an affordable Cuban cigar. If you have humidor space, buying a box for aging is a good option.
Overall, the Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto offers a 40 - 45 minutes smoking experience and is a great choice for busy people to end a weekday.
