Quick Smoke: Ambos Mundos Habano 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.”

This attractive, lower-priced Pete Johnson production uses lower-grade wrappers and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos than his top-shelf Tatuaje sticks. I’d call this five-inch, $5-plus cigar perfect for activities such as golf, fishing, partying, or poker. Just don’t expect the complexity, subtlety, or depth of Don Pepin Garcia’s better smokes. Instead, you’ll find consistency and a pleasant experience in a medium-strength cigar.

Verdict = Buy.
