The Petit Robusto by Hoyo de Monterrey was the first “petit robusto” ever produced by Habanos S.A.. Twenty years after that distant 2004, the cigar is a small but great certainty for short smokes. Compared to the usual Hoyo de Monterrey profile, gentle and composed, the Petit Robusto offers an intense smoke, with sustained strength.
The smoke delivers rich aromas of wood, nuts (mainly bitter almonds), earth, and spices, with a mix of black pepper and piquant peaks. There are some roasted notes as well. The strength is sustained from the first to the last puff.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are 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 created.
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. Together with the Best Brands, the Best, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
