Quick Smoke: 262 The Revere 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.”

Recently introduced, this new Nicaraguan puro is made for 262 Cigars at Plasencia’s factory in Estelí. According to a press release, the cigar features “a wrapper from the Jalapa Valley, a double binder of both Jalapa and Estelí tobaccos, and a rare combination of Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa seco, viso, and ligero for the filler.” The resulting cigar costs about $8 and  is earthy with coffee, chocolate, and roasted flavors. It’s full-bodied and well-made.

Verdict = Buy.
