Vegas Robaina Familiar
Origin: Cuba
Size: 5.50 X 42
Wrapper: Natural

From Puroexpress.com:
This brand bears the name of the property owned by the best tobacco growers in Cuba. The Vegas Robaina, started by Don Alejandro Robaino about 50 years ago, is sited in the St Luis region of the Vuelta Abajo. Don Alejandro is famed for growing the finest wrapper tobacco in this area and these cigars are a testament to him and the other farmers of the region.

The Vegas Robaina brand was officially launched by Habanos S.A. in 1997. High end cigars, using the same wrapper as Cohiba ,medium to strong and extremely well balanced. Smooth velvet of texture, slightly sweet spice notes vie with cream and chocolate on the tongue. Very aromatic, redolent with cedar and leather.

Notes:

Well it probably would have been a good smoke if I could have got a drag off of it. Way way too tight, seriously I almost through it away. When I could draw a bit of the smoke it tasted of a good Cuban cigar.

Huge disappointment 3 of 10.
