Vegas Robaina Famoso Received this Famoso from Shuckins A nice triple cap tops this milk chocolate colored cigar. The veinless wrapper lacks cosmetic flaws, the cigar lights well, burns evenly, and yields a black speckled ash. This fine looking treat emits a toasted aroma apparent in the...

First off, I think these sticks are gorgeous. They feel like velvet. this baby offers a decent amount of smoke that is creamy with a cocoa base. A... Read the full review here: Vegas Robaina Unicos Cigar Review - There will be more

OK this guy has seen the same environment as the Monte #2 that I reviewed earlier in the week. Stored at ~68 rh (still trying to bring it down & 65 % HF beads on the way). Again its young but I still want a reference point. On the plus side this did make the groups recent "young habanos that...

I believe this was very well-aged because it came from somewhere (maybe Tennessee), where people are patient & smart about these things & have room for big humidors. Pre-light scent: subtle, refined tobacco.. Looked good w/ no soft spots nor ugly veins. Lit quickly. Start...

OK, so my first forays into the world of CC's has netted some CG's and Dalia's. I really enjoy the medium ring-gauges but, now I'm looking at adding a box of something in the Hermoso No. 4 vitola. Here are the two sticks I'm considering: - Saint Luis Rey Regios - Vegas Robaina Famosos Which...

This was a real nice introduction to the Cuban line. Picked this up w/ a Habanos sampler and smoked this baby to the nub. Draw was a little tight b... Read the full review here: Vegas Robaina Familiar Cigar Review - A very enjoyable smoke.

Not sure on the box date here, as it was one of a few singles I picked up. A box is on the way, though... Pre-light is fairly faint, with a nice floral sweetness. After lighting, a rich punch of honey and coffee, with some floral notes. There's also a flavor I can never quite place, maybe...

I just read that Alejandro Robaina passed away Saturday at the age of 91. A real gentleman and a true legend. I just saw that this was already posted in another forum, but we can all smoke one of his cigars in his memory.

Very sad news indeed. I will smoke a Robaina farmie in his honor tonight. Cuban tobacco legend Alejandro Robaina dies at 91 | Reuters

Now, this is a cigar. Great looking milk chocolate, colorado wrapper, oily, with no veins. Excellent construction with the r... Read the full review here: Vegas Robaina Unicos Cigar Review - Excellent!

A week ago I was at a friend's wedding in Charleston, SC. Beautiful town, great food, friendly people (a must visit in my opinion). I stepped into a B&M in need of a smoke (stressed out). The humidor was over humidified, the bands were a bit narrower than the rest of the cigar. It was...

Does anyone know if VR has significantly changed their bands in the past few years? I have a friend that recently gave me one, but I already have a few and the band on his looks pretty suspicious to me -- mine are really fancy, bordering on cheesy! (mine match the views on all the websites) The...

Count me among the believers. I've smoked 2-3 boxes over 4 years. It's difficult to make such a big smoke that it so consistent within the stick an... Read the full review here: Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro Cigar Review - Outstanding

Finally got the pics of my B-day box downloaded - smoked 1st one last week and WOW! It was incredible - not the prettiest wrapper I've seen but nice, dark brown & oily- construction was great, burned even with loads of creamy smoke and the taste was to die for. Still a relative newbie with...
