Partagas Robusto cigar review

6/8/2026


I haven't smoked a Partagas Robusto in a long time. This used to my go to smoke. It was the epitome of what a Dominican Cameroon wrapped smoke is supposed to be. I probably bought 3 boxes about 20 years ago at $88. They are like double the price now. They got too expensive and I got to where I liked a longer smoking smoke, so I haven't bought. Let's try this one from a 2 pack I bought. 


If you don't know, Partagas was known for their Cameroon wrapped smokes, same as Fuente, but I liked Partagas better. Seems not as popular as in the past but they have stayed consistent to their core of making fine smokes at reasonable prices. But I remember only the Robusto was good. I tried many other sizes like the Rothschild, which was good but had a paper like taste. 


Lights up good and, yep, it has good taste immediately as I remember. This one is all about that spicy Cameroon wrapper taste. If I remember it is Mexican binder with Dominican fillers. 


It's medium strength and flavor right away. Really easy smoking. Really smooth and rich tasting. 


Haven't had to touch up. It's burning pretty quick but about right for a small Robusto. 


It's a great smoke. Just about full flavored now. About half through it. Probably have a good 15 minutes of good smoking so far. It's not a Friday night smoke after eating a big steak dinner. But for a quick full flavored and satisfying smoke, you can't get better. That's what I remember, why it was my go to smoke. 


Has a good spicy sweetness with a robust finish that still has a lingering cedar taste. Not as cedary as I remember. I think these are stronger than the old ones. 


Yeah it's a nub smoker. It get really good at the end. Really lights up your pallet. Not for a first time smoker. This is full flavor smoking until it burns your lips.

Here you will find honest reviews about the cigars that I bought myself and smoked myself.  I like to enjoy a fine cigar 3 to 4 times a week, late at night, sipping on some fine bourbon or tequila.  I've been smoking cigars for over 20 years and I try to be unbiased and honest in my reviews.  You can't trust most of the reviews on the internet or posted on most retailer's websites.  I don't really care if some guy tastes every flavor of the dessert buffet on some crappy cigar.  I want to know if it was an enjoyable cigar that satisfied you and you want to smoke another one.  That's what I try to give you.   <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9914815924126887"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

Alec Bradley Superstition Robusto cigar review

Alec Bradley Superstition Robusto cigar review 2/23/26 Never had a bad Alec Bradley cigar. Even the ones I've gotten cheap have been excellent.  I think I got this one from a sampler, probably for cheap.  I think these are about $4 or $5 a stick.   It's a short smoke. Nicaraguan habana wrapper with binder and long filler of Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Dominican tobacco.  Starts off with a definite Nicaraguan flavor. Has that leathery, charred oak flavor, but definitely smooth. Just like all the other AB cigars I've smoked.  All different but different flavors and profiles.  Is it good the first inch? Hell yeah.  Did I mention it's cold out?  Yeah, about 28 now.  That's why I chose this short smoke.  By the fire it's not too bad.  And that's why you prepare your fire before. A propane torch a few minutes on your small pieces of wood, super hot in just a few minutes.  Pretty windy though. Bad smoking weather. But it's burning ...

 Esteban Carreras Unforsaken Gordo cigar review  1/12/24 Finally a night not super cold. I'm going to smoke my 2nd one of these since my first one around Christmas.  This is a huge Nicaraguan smoke.  I like the larger sizes but this one is so big it hurts my jaw to try to put of teeth on it.  But for the price and amount of smoke you can get out of it,it a damn fine smoke, even it's like twice the thickness of a regular smoke.   It lights up easily and is pulling good.  Pretty mild at first with good cedar and sweetness.   Let me also go ahead and complain about the cedar sleeve, which I think all smokes should come with.  This one, however, seems to be stuck to the wrapper and you have to peel all of the bands off to get it off.  Make it easier to remove damn it.  Anyway, the cigar is smoking great these first 10 min.  Still mild and very smooth.  Like I said it's a huge smoke. It ain't just a thick one to get a...
