Most Robustos I dislike. Most Hermosos No. 4 I do like. I think Cubatabaco knows Robustos are more popular and puts a little more effort into the Hermosos No. 4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euripidespants Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I had a boli royal corona in 1996 which was outstanding...a gift along w a gift glass of maccallan 25 yr....guy was showing off and I was happy to oblige...still one of the best cigars I’ve ever had. Good dirty power bolivar. boli rc is still one of my favorites but I have to say the cohiba robusto has now beat it for modern day production. I’d give my left nut to try a dunhill cabinetta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good dirty power bolivar. In 96/97 I would have said BRC was my favorite cigar period. RyJ Ex 4 a close second. Now, I don't even touch either. At that time, BCE was a bit strong for me and I'm one who wishes almost all modern CCs were stronger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that old school CCs were stronger but they were almost unsmokeable when young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaclub Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Coro And I will add BRC recently have been excellent. Have a 18 box smoking very well and it was a clearance box Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayslay Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 So difficult to pick a favorite cigar, much less robusto. Here it goes: 1. Robaina Famosos- When they are on, they are right up my alley flavor wise. 2. CoRo- Out of consistency and class alone 3. PSD4- love the profile If Punch 48 can be in this class, I would put it #2 behind the VR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westg Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Really tough one to answer Probably the most difficult to cover all formats. I have had some absolute stunning boxes across all lines. Cohiba robusto gets it the end for me. Just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you a break since Hermosos No. 4s are robustos by common name. 4 hours ago, Smokecigareveryday said: I heard that old school CCs were stronger but they were almost unsmokeable when young. Some, yes, but not all. The milder brands (ERDM, SLR, JL etc.) we're pretty much good fresh. I thought Boli and Party were fine after a year or two but the BCE and BCG definitely needed more time. Monte also needed a year or two but the Monte 2 and the Especiales needed more. Monte 2 much more--like 3-5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk404 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 In my somewhat limited experience, for me it's the JL2, with the PSD4 a close second. Is it just me or do cigars taste better when they come out of a SLB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as one can see below, if you just include current regular production the list is a lot less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokecigareveryday Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 If you look at CA top 25 cigars for the past 5 years most of them are 50+ ring gauges jaw breakers. I think Robusto lines are here to stay for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, you trying to change my mind or reinforce my stance. ??? I will offer that JL2 is my favorite of the lot so as to not be derailing the OT. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
