These come in big wheels of 50 at CI.
Great cheap smokes, man. Well constructed, good draw, really nice flavors and aromas for a sub $2 stick.
These are one of those cigars that have that "signature" Nicaraguan flavor. I can't really describe it, but I know it when I taste it. It's a deep, rich, spicy flavor that I can taste in a lot of premium Nicaraguans like Pepins, Tats, Oliva Vs, etc.
Lots of subtle flavor changes in these. Spice, butter, floral, wood... all as a sort of backdrop behind that big, bold, dee-lish NICARAGUAN TOBACCO flavor.
These are not as "fuerte" as, say, Tatuajes or the bolder Pepins, but man, they pack A LOT of flavor for under 2 bucks! :ss

Not at all. But they do get better of course.

Thank you for the good review and answering the question I have had for a while. I may pick up some after I move. I really need a good quality cheapie.

Awesome. These have been on my radar for a long time now, but as others have said, I didn't want to pull the trigger on 50 of something I wouldn't like.
Thanks for the review!! it brings these back to the top of my list for a knock-around summer smoke.

I ordered a wheel of the robustos about 3 weeks ago and I was pleasently suprised how good they were. I've been smoking 3 or 4 a week and they are now at the top of my cheap sticks list.

I got a wheel of robustos last summer. Smoked one right off the truck and it was amazing. I use them as a golf cigar cause its not bad when you forget one on the cart or burns bad. I was surprised how good they were.

Yours sound a lot better than mine. I bought a 5 pack from Cbid awhile ago and smoked the first one after letting it sit for probably 3 months. It was bad no flavor other than burning tobacco. Tried another one 6 months later and it was the same thing. I just figured they were cheap cigars that tasted bad. I still have 3 more that I am in no hurry to get to, and I normally like most Perdomo's I smoke.

So I decided to smoke another one of these yesterday morning, and I have to say that this one was very good. It was more in line with the flavors everyone else was talking about. I'm not sure if the first 2 were duds or if it had anything to do with the extra time but if the last 2 are as good as this 3rd one, I will seriously consider purchasing a wheel of them.

Think I'll try for a 5er of these on cbid - They sound like they might be well worth a try.
Thanks for the review.
