Popular Post JohnS Posted June 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 H. Upmann Royal Robusto 2011 - La Casa del Habano Exclusivo SUE Abr 2012 Up until the release of the 2010 Ramon Allones Superiores, La Casa del Habanos cigars were considered exclusive releases with a limited production run. That changed around 2010-11 and since that time the greater majority of LCDH releases have been in continued production ever since (albeit amongst short periods of production hiatus). I have enjoyed a number of them over the years, but strangely enough, this may be the first or second H.Upmann Royal Robusto I've actually sampled. I'd like to thank @baragh for gifting me this cigar to smoke today. The H.Upmann Royal Robusto was released circa 2012 and is an Edmundo-sized vitola with a 52 ring gauge x 135 mm (or 5⅜ inches) length. Incidentally, the H.Upmann Connossieur A is the same ring gauge and only 5 mm (or one-fifth of an inch) longer, but I would definitely classify the Royal Robusto as a very different Upmann cigar to the Connossieur A. Broadly speaking, in my opinion, there are Upmann cigars that excel in 'softer' flavours such as shortbread and cream and there are Upmann cigars that are more robust giving you stronger cedar, coffee and leather flavours. I'd put the Connossieur A in the former category and the Royal Robusto in the latter one. With eight years of age on this cigar, the coffee flavour was light but it still had a cedar and leather spine to it. Along the way I enjoyed a vanilla or licorice sweetness in the first third which transposed in the second third with the addition of some cinnamon spice. In the last third I got some further complexity with white pepper notes. Yes, it was an excellent cigar and for my preference I would favour an Upmann cigar like this with this amount of age on it. It was exactly to my liking. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StogieSteve23 Posted June 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 Some recent smokes. ASR JUL-18: EE ASU MAR-19: Monte 1 LGR AGO-17: PLMC TPO OCT-19: Short de Punch Mystery smoke from @Lrabold89 which turned out to be a Nudie N3. Absolutely fantastic smoke. Lots of cedar, roasted nuts and a slight minty flavor throughout. Milk chocolate on the retro. Super enjoyable. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TTP21 Posted June 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 I may be coming back after a 2 week flirtation with NC. This one is good, but at the same price point I'd gladly take a Party Short,BCJ, or PLPC. In the same vitola, Monte 3 is worth the small premium over this. There's something about the delivery in most NC that just seems to overwhelm the senses, whereas a CC allows you to slowly decode what the blend is to you. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now a total blast of coffee, borderline bitter. My cup of tea for sure. More time?

I had one today from LGR AUG 2017. I have had 3 in the last week, fantastic cigar. As I sit here now and think about it, that is what I will likely grab tomorrow afternoon. I think what's remaining in the box won't be around long. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
