Quick Smoke: 7-20-4 Robusto

A couple times each week 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’ve long enjoyed the original 7-20-4 line. It’s flavorful, well-made, and affordably priced. The Robusto is no exception. With its Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, Costa Rican binder, and filler from Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, and Columbia, it features leather, wood, and clove flavors with white and green pepper notes. While I slightly prefer the smaller ring gauge versions of this blend (the Lancero and eponymous corona, particularly), with flawless construction and medium- to full-bodied flavors, the Robusto is still easy to recommend.

Verdict = Buy.
