Vargas Robustos

The epitome of average (at best). Cigar Aficionado rates it an 83; I would personally rate it an 81, or a C+, with regards to your list. Cigar was dry, with some earthy flavors, and a very slight leather note. It got a little better in the center of th

Well, this was ok..not great, but ok. It did not offend nor impress. If you can find it for under 2 bucks it would make a good yard gar to keep from wasting top end smokes. I could see some folks really liking these if they like earth ...dirt flavors....a bit leathery too.

This cigar wasn't bad. It wasn't exceptional either - I agree with the past reviews, very average. This cigar wasn't too 'filling' despite it's semi-complex nature. It had top notes of dark chocolate, creaminess, and toastiness, with base notes of earthiness and subtle hints of leather. Also, it had a little bitterness to it, which depending on your taste, could be a good or bad thing. Construction was pretty good - tight hard cigar that didn't have any burn issues. Though it did smoke light in the beginning, more dense towards the middle and burned a little hot towards the end. Surprisingly, the ash held for the entire smoke - about 3 - 3.5 inches of ash grew before I laid down this cigar to rest. All in all, it was an average cigar. I suppose this could be saved as a 'before dinner' cigar - as it leaves you hungry.

This is a cigar with the very best of the unique qualities of cigars coming from the Canary Islands. Something different to the standard havana. Not all good wines are Bordeaux.
