I recently purchased a box of the robustos, and while I think it's a good smoke for the price, every other stick seems to have construction problems. On the positive side, it's nice to talk about a cigar that isn't being made by DPG for a change

The comments left here are a great representation of what I've heard from a variety of people about the Casa Magna, including my own experience. I got two at the Vegas Big Smoke last year; the first I smoked the next week and it was terrible–very ammoniated indicating that the tobacco had not aged long enough; the second I let sit for 4 or 5 months and it was much better.

My local B&M and various posters at local cigar club website have all expressed a varying experience with the CM. Some love it, some hated it from the beginning, some say it started out great and their quality control is letting things go to hell.

I hope they can pull it together and make a consistently good stick. We can always use more of those at this price point.

Willing to give it another try – just wasn't wowed the way CA was with their praise.

Was also put off by numerous shops that pushed this cigar over all others as soon as it got the CA BOY 93 rating.

I will have to give this line a second try. I had the robusto that I received at the C.A. Big Smoke in Las Vegas and it did not wow me. Poor draw and hardly any flavor that was probably attributed to the draw issue.

Great review of a great cigar, Patrick. I agree completely. And that photo looks fantastic…for what it's worth, Casa Magna has one of the most gorgeous bands around.

While I think the entire line is a relative bargain, I do not agree with CA's lofty rating. Approximately three months ago, I smoked a few robustos and would agree with the spicy flavor profile as I got a lot of pepper and earth. Not much development as Patrick indicated though. Good construction and appearance. 88 points.
