6" x 50
I remember when these first came out (15 yrs ago?), they were made by Pepin and were quite a smoke. I used to get 5 packs pretty cheap on C-Bid until people figured out they were a DPG cigar. At some point in the recent past, I added this single to a C-Bid haul. Good construction. Nice roll, good draw, nice weight to the cigar. Nice smoke, honestly. Woodsy and tobacco-y. Starts off with straightforward tobacco, and about 1/3 in the flavor transitions to strong wood and spice. Around halfway, a sweetness comes in on the draw. In the last 1/3, the flavor gets VERY woodsy. Like smoking a 2 x 4. Short, tangy finish. Decent burn; a couple of minor corrections. Medium 'strength' throughout. This modern version of Cubao is...solid! Not a ground-breaking cigar by any stretch, but at a retail price of $6/stick, you could do way worse. EDIT: I just watched as a bunch of 10ct boxes of robustos went for $29 on C-Bid. At that price, they're a helluva score. ![]()
