Quick Smoke: Augusto Reyes Sixth Generation 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.”

Introduced this summer along with the Signature blend, the four-vitola Sixth Generation line from Augusto Reyes sells in the $5.50 to $6.20 range. The Robusto (5 x 50) has a full-bodied profile of spicy wood with some caramel sweetness.  It’s decent if you’re looking for a bold smoke, but this cigar’s meaty aftertaste and troubled burn prevents it from earning my full recommendation.

Verdict = Hold.
