Released in 1997, this cigar is currently one of the two sizes offered by the Vegas Robaina brand (the other being the Unicos), whose portfolio has been considerably reduced in recent years. The smoke is very creamy, and this distinguishes it throughout the whole duration of the cigar. It has an excellent productive consistency.
It releases aromas of cedar wood and leather, which are followed by a hint of black pepper in the aftertaste. In the second half, the spicy component becomes decidedly more pronounced, bringing itself to the front.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews, those that scored the best score get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared and the TOP 5 are made.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs, in order to give the right space to all the producing countries.
From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. This list, together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy and the Best Boutique Brands, will be published in Winter 2019 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
