Quick Smoke: Maroma Robusto

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

This mixed filler cheapie is a Famous house brand that runs a good deal under $2, even by the five-pack. Made by Nestor Plasencia with a natural wrapper and Honduran and Nicaraguan filler, it’s one of the lumpiest cigars I’ve ever held. For the first half inch or so, this “Cuban sandwich” was an OK mild cigar. But before the halfway point it had turned so sour it was unsmokable. I’ve had only one (part of a bonus when I ordered something else) and won’t be having more.

Verdict = Sell.
