Very engaging and twang, salt, with pepper to boot. Construction and burn excellent. Just about perfect after a Prime NY Strip at one of America’s great steak houses.

Popular Post Ciscojohansson Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 Some recent smokes. Monte 80th. Nothing like the last one I had from the same box. OK, but boring. Maybe it needed more time in the humidor to acclimatize. CORO from 2017, I love them. Dip. Nr. 2. I had one six months ago and it was awful. This was coffe and sweet wood. I have one left that I will smoke at the end of the year. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnS Posted February 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2020 Vegas Robaina Petit Unicos 2012 - Edición Regional Suiza LOE Feb 2013 Vegas Robaina was introduced as a new marca in 1997 by Habanos S.A in honour of the famed tobacco grower, Alejandro Robaina. At the time the new marca came out with five vitolas; the Clásicos - 6½" × 42 rg (165 × 16.67 mm), a Lonsdale, the Don Alejandro - 7⅝" × 49 rg (194 × 19.45 mm), a Double Corona, the Familiar - 5⅝" × 42 rg (142 × 16.67 mm), a Corona, the Famosos - 5" × 48 rg (127 × 19.05 mm), a Hermoso No. 4, and the Únicos - 6⅛" × 52 rg (156 × 20.64 mm), a Pirámide. A little over 20 years later and only the Famosos and Únicos remain as regular production cigars. As a marca, Vegas Robaina doesn't tend to get the same accolades that other Habanos marcas enjoy, especially the global brands. Current production is low also. The Unicos is in hiatus and supplies were minimal in 2019. There has been eight Regional Edition releases within this marca, but none since the Andorra Short Robaina Regional Edition from 2014 (and released to market in 2015). Perhaps the great Alejandro Robaina's grandson, Hiroshi's 2014 announcement of producing Non-Cuban Nicaraguan cigars has something to do with this? Who knows? Let us not dwell on speculation, suffice to say that Hiroshi, as of 2019, is back on his grandfather's famous farm. I mention this because after smoking this Petit Unicos today, I would simply love a Habanos distributor to bring out another Vegas Robaina release! I would venture to say that Vegas Robaina, like Sancho Panza, is a marca which has a unique flavour profile and more so as it ages. My 2015 box of Famosos provided me much smoking pleasure throughout 2019, it was no problem to go through half a box in six months. The flavours included an ineffable quality lush tobacco and grass, soft milk chocolate ranging to mild bitter chocolate, dates, licorice or raisin sweetness, baking spice and floral notes. The Vegas Robaina Petit Unicos was released in Switzerland in 2012 in 5000 10-count dress boxes. It is a Petit Belicosos with a 52 ring gauge x 125 mm (or 4⅞ inches) length. I'd like to thank and acknowledge @Thirds for gifting me this cigar to review because, in essence, this cigar was every bit as good as any aged Famosos I had from my 2015 box last year, if not better! The construction was absolutely perfect. I got a consistent ash-length of around an inch each time, ridges were clearly defined, the ash colour was a pleasing white-grey and there was a slight coning after each ash, which for me indicates quality rolling. The flavours consisted of mild bitter chocolate, lush tobacco and grass, raisin-type sweetness bordering on licorice, floral notes on the edges and some baking spice. These flavours stayed consistent throughout. I completed the cigar in 45 minutes. It might have been a tad quick, but it was a great cigar in both construction and flavour. So, in summary, in comparison to a Famosos this seven year-old Petit Unicos had slightly more strength and was a little sweeter. If, by chance, in the meantime another Regional Edition release comes out in the Vegas Robaina marca I would be inclined to seek it out. 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
