Quick Smoke: P. Garmirian 15th Anniversary Short Robusto

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

PG Cigars is a great all-around brand, but my favorite blend from this old-school boutique manufacturer has to be the 15th Anniversary. It was first released in 2005 in only one size and is now available in ten vitolas, including the Short Robusto (4 x 50). A stout smoke, it boasts smooth yet full flavors as varied as cedar and melon to cinnamon and pine—all in harmonious cooperation. I can’t say enough about this complex, well-constructed cigar. Suffice to say it is well worth its price tag of about $12 apiece.

Verdict = Buy.
