Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

If you’re looking for nice flavor, excellent construction, and a bargain price, the Partagas Robusto has your name all over it. And at four and ½ inches by 49 ring gauge, all this can be yours in under an hour. My only critique is that the cedar-like taste is neither complex nor particularly interesting, but it is steady. At less than $5 apiece, what have you got to lose?

Verdict = Buy.
