phxkev Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I wouldn't ask which current production robusto is the best because everyone could have a different answer and everyone would be right for their own reason. Rob;s comparative review of the BRC vs. the RASS has me wondering..... what is the favorite current regular production (available) robusto of FOH members? For me it would be 1. RASS 2. CoRo 3. BRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Though not a favorite size, I'd go with the Cohiba robusto and RyJ short churchill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phxkev Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 I was actually a CoRo hater till I recieved 2 awesome cabs. Along with Boli RC and Por Larranaga Colt.... what is your favorite size and why? I usually reach for the robusto or petit corona because of time limitations. I really haven't found another size that offers a more enjoyable smoke but that isn't to say another size isn't more ideal for flavor enjoyment. I found the CA article on the favorite sizes of cigar industry insiders interesting. Seems like there is no rule to apply to say any one size is ideal. What do you think? Thanks.

Professor Twain Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 My choices would be: 1. RASS 2. Hoyo Epi #2 3. PSD4 All three of these are smoking great young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Colt.... what is your favorite size and why? Kev, my feeling about the robusto size is really a personal aesthetic, or more precisely, sensory - I often feel like I'm smoking a baseball bat. My comment really isn't about flavor delivery versus other sizes - if I smoke a great robusto, I'm a happy camper. Also, I normally smoke when time constraints are not an issue. If I know I may have to rush it, I will usually pass. Generally speaking, my favorite sizes are the churchill, dalia, and corona gorda. I'm also a big fan of the parejo, pc, and carlota. I like perlas and can enjoy a good double corona. I guess there's no size I really "hate", and a great cigar is a great cigar, regardless of it's size.

mkz Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Not a big fan of the robusto-vitola either but a RASS is always a RASS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neal875 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 How about the SLR Regio? Or are we only accepting 'true' robusto sizes? Excellent almost all the time--especially in cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrink Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Favorite robusto overall? PSD4 Best robusto of 2007? RASS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudius Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 what is the favorite current regular production (available) robusto of FOH members? Why dont you post a poll? - Now with the new forum software you can! RAES for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Still searching the RASS is looking good...waiting on some Cohiba's which i hope will live up to their reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some custom rolled smokes out there. They are weird to find (usually available through a single retailer.) The Rudolpho Taboada Robustos offered over the last year are some of the best Robustos I have ever had. I know Taboada and the retailer who often handles them can be controversial topics which I am not interested in talking about. But the fact is, this may be the best or one of the best Robustos I have had. Note: these are strong blends. Try regular production before you seek out these customs. Cost is approximately: us$27 per smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilroy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 1) PSD4 <- Only robusto that doesn't go soft with the larger ring gauge 2) BRC 3) RASS 4) CoRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefallguy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 CoRo, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I would say a well aged CoRo is the best for me. But not young. Then I'd go with the RASS and I will finish with the connie n°1. Am I the only one to love this one? Ok it's an hermosos 4 but still considered as a robusto right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeht Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 For me, nothing can match a well aged CORO, but next in line would be the PSD4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cohiba007 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 For me, nothing can match a well aged CORO, but next in line would be the PSD4 Agreed, probably my two favorite smokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSU OpusX Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I would say a PSD#4 and an ERDM Choix Supreme. I have some CoRo that have a few years on them but they're not ready. I've haven't found a RASS that was a good as the hype. Maybe I'm just getting some very young RASS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
