*Long Read*
As witnessed by monsieur Devito, Short does not always mean skinny. The H Upmann Magnum 54, at 4 ¾ inches long this cigar is shorter than the Monte 4 but weighs nearly half as much again due to its ring guage. A 40-50 minute smoke.
I dislike robustos on the principle that I prefer to sip cigar smoke, like fine wine, through pursed lips. This necessitates a small ring guage or a figurado. Even among robustos, the Cohiba Robusto, RASS, and JL 2, are all objectively superior cigars. But I like this one.
