Quick Smoke: Sindicato Hex 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.”

I first smoked this cigar when retailers handed them out last month as part of the company’s National Hex Day promotion. I’ve since tried two more. With a dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and a pigtail cap, Hex stands out on the shelf. The robusto—5 inches long with a ring gauge of 52—is a good size to enjoy what the stick has to offer. While there’s little flavor change along the way, it’s an enjoyable trip from start to finish. Fine construction, lots of smoke, excellent burn. (See my colleague’s full review of the Hex Perfecto here.)

Verdict = Buy.
