Slender box-pressed lancero opens with cocoa and earth, shifts anise-forward in the middle with caramel sweetness and black pepper through the nose, then returns toward oak and cocoa at the end.

Verified purchase4/5Strength 4Body 4Flavor 4Construction 5Reliable, well-blended, fairly priced. The robusto pulls a touch hot if you smoke too fast - slow it down and it rewards you with cocoa and dark fruit.

Verified purchase5/5Strength 4Body 5Flavor 5Construction 5Heavy on the dark chocolate and roasted coffee - true maduro, not maduro-by-marketing. The robusto vitola pulls more pepper than the toro does, which is exactly what I want. Build is flawless.

Verified purchase4/5Strength 4Body 4Flavor 4Construction 5On a dollar-per-minute basis this is the best maduro I keep in the humidor. Solid construction, no relight, and a flavor profile that doesn't fall apart in the last third like cheaper sticks do. The robusto is the smart buy.
