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

After enjoying a Ybor City Handmade recently, I’ve been drawn to those lovely brown Connecticut wrappers in the humidor. A Gran Habano Ecuadorian Connecticut-wrapped Robusto caught my eye the other day. It is a nice, slow burning cigar that induces relaxation and introspection with subtle flavors and thick, deep smoke. At six inches long and a ring gauge of 54, it fits the current trend toward large sticks. I paid $4.45. If you enjoy mild cigars, give this one a try.

Verdict = Buy.
