jwr0201 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 HdM Petit Robusto - what's it like? Recommended or avoid at all costs? This is a tough one to get a handle on. Not many reviews and they seem to be all over the map. Looks like a perfect size! I'm looking for a few more good CC's to add for dog-walking and am wondering if this one is worth picking up a box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarveyBoulevard Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I love them. Prefer them over Monte media corona or upmann half corona. It the smallest cigar in my arsenal but it's a great smoke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watches_whiskies_cigars Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I love this cigar. Normally I'm not a fan of petit robustos, but this I make an exception for. Get it in the 3x5 cartons rather than a 25 cab. Maybe it's just me but the 3 packs have always smoked better for me than the cabs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnInCleveland Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 My go to "take the dogs for a walk" smoke. If you like Hoyo, they're great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic101 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Love them, for my taste they need about 2-3 year. Great morning coffee cigar ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozerhead Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I've always enjoyed them. Not to the level of its slightly bigger cousin, the Monte PE, but still a damn fine little smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williamos Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Love em too. Not overly complex but a very satisfying short smoke.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 As most of you know, I don't care for robustos but if they all tasted like these I would smoke more of them. This is one short format, fat cigar that I do have a liking for. All they need is an extra band and you could call them ELs.... ! -LOL -Piggy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dflan82 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'm with the above crowd in saying that I really enjoy these cigars. They are one of those cigars that hit the ground running in the flavor department. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Awesome cigar, very consistent, creamy, mellow. 10/10 Should be in everyone's rotation! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwaller Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I will add a dissenting opinion to this thread... I purchased some 3-packs on the recommendation of a trusted vendor. They are beautifully constructed, but I haven't found one yet that actually tastes good. I've found them to be quite harsh and unpleasant, with very little in the way of cream. It's quite possible that they need more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoyoFan Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I've wanted to try these for a while now given how much I've enjoyed the cream and coffee of Epi 2's. @El Presidente any thoughts on having these available any time soon on a 24:24?

TheLiquidGator Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Funny, I just bought these in 3X5. They were offered at a really great price. Hope they are good. Should arrive any day and I will post some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoyoFan Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yeah Gator let us know what you think. I just saw them on sale at another merchant I trust so was considering pulling the trigger on a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I haven't had more is I prefer a longer smoke, so I tend not to buy many petit robustos. If you like this size, though, I would definitely recommend these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominattorney Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I like them as well, but agree with whoever said that they are best enjoyed after at least 2 years of rest. However, if you're not worried about cost, the HDM Epicure DeLuxe is also a short format cigar (longer, yes, but still short format) and one that I prefer. However, they clock in at between 8-10 a stick most places. The deluxe, to my palate, is good to go after only 6 months of rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heminway186 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I have smoked probably 75 of these, a staple in my humidor. They are quite full bodied compared to other Hoyo offerings so prepare yourself for that. Otherwise a great cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhcolbert Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The shorter, large ring guage don't appeal to me to much. I convinced myself I liked the RyJ short church and monte petiet edmundos I bought a while back. They were good, but not for the price imo. Being said, I'd pick up a pack of 3 of these if I ran into em in a shop while traveling outside U.S. couldn't bring myself to go for 15 of em tho.

dflan82 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I had another one of these this weekend. Not quite as good as the last few but still very good. This was more woody with notes of espresso. It didn't have as much sweetness as I have noticed in the others from this box. Construction was excellent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
