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

I’d heard of El Titan de Bronze cigars, rolled for more than a decade on Calle Ocho in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood, long before having the chance to try one. The Gold line is particularly affordable for a high-quality U.S.-made smoke. I found a Robusto (5 x 50) for $5.50. Complex with medium strength, this Connecticut-wrapped stick moves from pepper to leather and earth. Well worth trying.

Verdict = Buy.
