I had an Isla del Sol Gran Corona (5 x 44) today and wasn't impressed. There was barely any coffee infusion that I could notice and the sweetness wore off within the first 1/3. I picked it up at a B&M Head Shop I stumbled across in my home town... everything in their small walk-in had a thin layer of dust on it, so you could tell Cigars were not a major part of their business. I also cut it with a V-Cut that went a bit deeper than I expected which may not have been the best for a smaller ring-gauge stick. I'm going to hold judgment until I can get my hands on a Robusto, but the one I had was not quite the TabakEspecial-Lite I was hopping for.
