Quick Smoke: Pinar del Rio 1878 Cubano Especial Capa Natural Robusto

7 Jun 2014

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.”

Every time I light up this Abe Flores creation I find myself wondering why I took so long to come back to it. I may not light up a Cubano Especial Capa Natural Robusto (5 x 52) very often but, when I do, this Ecuadorian Connecticut-wrapped smoke never disappoints. It has a tremendous flavor of dry oak, vanilla, nuts, and cream that’s complemented by some floral notes. And the construction is outstanding. For its $5 retail price, this is a steal.

Verdict = Buy.

    Patrick – You inspired me to try this smoke. My shop didn't have the Robusto so I had to get the 6×60. Excellent cigar for $6.75. It's gotten me into the sixth inning as I watch Chris Archer and King Felix duke it out.
