Isotonic Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thinking about investing in a box of Upmann Robustos and naturally, as always, I have become confused. Pretty straight forward issue I cannot seem to sort out for myself. Are H Upmann Robusto LE's the same as Royal Robusto's? I have seen 2012 LE's listed and 2012 RR's listed. Along with LCDH releases from '11. And I have seen Upmann Robusto 2012's. Are they all the same cigar just from different years? Are some outlets just naming them slightly differently? Or are they all different cigars? Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GernBlansten Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 This should help sort things out. Look under "special releases" or about 90% of the way down the page. As always, props to Trevor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tan1801 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Just to throw some extra confusion into the mix, there is also the travel humidor release in which 6 robustos came in a leather humidor. I actually had my first one of these earlier last week and found it to need a decent amount more time. It had a significant metallic note to it. My understanding is the Royal Robusto and the EL robusto are not the same, but I have only had one of the EL's and am yet to try any of the RR.

Duxnutz Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Not much talk about the 520s. Ive had the RR and the 2012 EL. The Royal Robo was great and decent value for me vs increased $$$ of an EL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Someone thought there was a gap in the market and ran with it! 2007 travel humidor Robusto 124 x 50 Royal Robusto 2011 LCDH release 135 x 52 (Actually an Edmundo not a robusto) 520 Aniversario 2012 124 x 50 Robusto 2012 EL 124 x 50 Connoisseur #1 is a hermosos #4, which is essentially a robusto 127 x 48 I suppose you could throw in the Mag 50, it's a robusto with an extra inch and a bit. There was an EL version in 2005 and then a regular production version introduced in 2008 I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smoked one of those travel humidor robustos a few weeks ago. Agreed that it needs more time to settle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor2118 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 You can always do a Search / Cigars on CCW on CCW using the common name Robusto. You then get this list....http://www.cubanciga...rtorder=noorder Once you open this list, you can click the Cigar Name link (top left-hand corner of the data columns, to arrange the list in Brands.

Tan1801 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Matt, you must have forgot the RR at the Havanathon last year? Cigar no 1I think. I liked it a lot, had the Mag 50 Upmann profile to it. Have in fact just ordered a box of them. Was it the RR? I thought it was the EL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramon_cojones Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 No RR is the lcdh robusto and the EL is well an EL. Royal robusto is the best of the bunch from accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sengjc Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 One too many H. Upmann Robustos. I'll throw in yet another variation of the H. Upmann Robustos, the one that is supposedly a duty free exclusive from the Seleccion Robustos set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 … the HU Robusto was a 2012 EL and travel humidor cigar. No, they are not the same cigar. The robusto in the travel humidor is not an EL (different wrapper). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 No, they are not the same cigar. The robusto in the travel humidor is not an EL (different wrapper). The Travel Humi one is also about 100x better than the EL one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliverdst Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Having my first RR at this moment. Not even close to the travel humidor in taste. Maybe need some more years sleeping. But both are a smoke machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
