Quick Smoke: Cubanacan HR Hermosa

20 Feb 2016

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

HR Cigars

Few cigars have generated as much buzz as Cubanacan’s HR line, and even fewer have been at the center of a star-studded cigar-centric soap opera. The splits and legal questions involving who did what and who owns what are best left for another day (long story short, in July, Cubanacan found out, via the media, that Cuban tobacco star Hiroshi Robaina was leaving the company for La Palina). At this point, let’s just say Robaina and blender Omar González Alemán created one fine cigar. The Ecuadorian-wrapped HR Hermosa (5.1 x 48) is powerful, rich, and pours out smoke. Not particularly complex, the profile is pleasing from start to finish. It’s expensive—I paid about $75 for a four-vitola sampler—and hard to find. But if you can get an HR, light one up.

Verdict = Buy.

    Just to let you know, http://www.atlanticcigar.com has the 4 pack samplers on sale for $40 each…IMHO the Sublimes vitola is much better than the other sizes.

    That is a heck of a bargain. And I’m obviously not the only one who thought so. Checking the site, I see they’re now listed as being on “back order.”
