Origin and Brand History
The Vegas Robaina brand was introduced in 1997. The Robaina family has a long - standing history in Cuchillas de Barbacoa since 1845. Don Alejandro Robaina was well - known for producing high - quality wrapper leaves until his death in 2010. The Vegas Robaina Maestro is the first regional edition for the Spanish market and the first made with a Vegas Robaina’s blend. Only 2000 boxes of 10 were produced in 2007.
Appearance
The wrapper is colorado claro, slightly oily, and has a pleasant look. It releases a sweet tobacco smell of normal intensity.
Tasting
- One third: It has an easy draw. It produces light - to - medium strength thick smoke with regular combustion. The ash is solid. It has grassy and slight woody notes, high acidity, and sharp flavors. A slight crack appears on the wrapper towards the end but doesn't affect combustion.
- Two thirds: It develops a creamy texture. Flavors are distinct and leave a smooth finish. Pepper notes with slight spiciness appear. Draw and construction remain stable, and strength stays light - to - medium.
- Three thirds: Flavors are round and mellow. The cigar is smooth and well - rolled. After passing the crack, the wrapper performs well. Intensity increases, and sweet aromas like caramel, marshmallow, or toasty praline appear at the end.
The cigar is hand - made, with a price of about $25 each. It was purchased from Sautters shop in London.
