Cohiba Nicaragua Robusto

The Cohiba Nicaragua Robusto is a medium to full-bodied cigar, measuring 5 inches in length with a 50-ring gauge, handcrafted in Nicaragua by General Cigar Co. It marks Cohiba’s first venture into Nicaraguan soil, featuring a rich, oily Honduran Sun Grown Colorado Oscuro wrapper that gives it a milk-chocolate hue with a subtle reddish tinge. The binder and fillers are sourced from the volcanic soils of Nicaragua’s renowned Jalapa and Estelí regions, known for producing bold, complex tobaccos. This combination delivers a robust yet balanced smoking experience, with a flavor profile that unfolds in layers: initial notes of cedar, leather, and white pepper evolve into deeper tones of cocoa, coffee beans, and a touch of dried fruit sweetness on the finish. The smoke is creamy and smooth, often accompanied by a delicate spice on the retrohale, making it approachable yet sophisticated. With a solid construction, the cigar typically offers an even burn and a consistent draw, though some smokers have reported occasional relighting needs.
