Not content with creating just one tobacco sensation, Oscar Valladares is once again astounding enthusiasts around the globe with the stellar The Oscar Habano Robusto cigar. Forever seeking the perfect blend, Valladares had been creating exceptional smokes for many years before hitting the big leagues with the Leaf by Oscar, a seemingly humble bundled cigar that defied expectations. Building upon that success comes this delicious example of craftsmanship, complete with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Honduran binder, and well-aged Honduran and Nicaraguan filler.
The first thing you’ll notice about a The Oscar Habano Robusto is the frog-green Candela leaf that is used as an overwrap to envelop the lower half of each sturdy 5” X 50 vitola. Removing this leaf allows the aroma of leather and aged tobacco to be released from the solidly constructed barrel, whetting the palate’s appetite for what is to come next. After savoring the rich chocolate taste presented during the cold draw, your tongue will delight to the flavors of black pepper, cocoa, and baking spices soon after the foot is alight. Further exploration yields rich veins of roasted nuts and citrus, while the meaty finale adds layers of coffee, nutmeg, and sourdough toast.
Priced right in that sweet spot between run-of-the-mill stogies and often overpriced ultra-premium, you’ll find these tasty smokes able to compete with just about anything you’d want in your humidor. The Oscar Habano Robusto’s are the cigars all you medium-full strength fanatics have been waiting for, so don’t let yourself down one more day.
