Quick Smoke: Aquarius Robutso

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

In addition to the Dona Flor and Alonso Menendez cigars I’ve come to love, Brazil Cigars & Tobacco also makes Aquarius. The five inch by 52 ring gauge Robusto can be found for about $6, and you can get it draped in either a Connecticut or Mata Fina wrapper. Mine had the former, which yielded an interesting honey-glazed spice. With a firm, white ash, a perfect burn, and an effortless draw, I’d be less hesitant to light up another if it weren’t for the frailty of the wrapper. I’m willing to bet the Mata Fina Aquarius will hold up better.

Verdict = Hold.
