For me Bolivar Royal Corona is my favorite Robusto, strong with coffee cocoa note with An̈ejo Rum a pleasure.

Hi Vasilij
The Robusta format has been my favorite format for 30 years!
And since I've been smoking at least one every day for over 20 years, I've already added a few brands!
Of course I love Cubans of all kinds, but you're not a millionaire!
So they're only available now and then! There are still the everyday cigars!
Yesterday I spent almost 4 hours on the terrace in dream weather, on the deck chair with 2 woolen blankets, for 2 Dominico Robusto! With a good read and a small aperitif, it doesn't get warm in these temperatures!
Uff... wonderful, simply wonderful!
Hello everyone, thanks for your recommendations and comments! 🤗 On Thursday we will continue with the Robusto topic, you can look forward to it. HAPPY SMOKE!
I love the Montechristo Edmundo or Partagas D4
Among other things, I prefer a Romeo Y Julieta Wide Churchill (yes, I know it's not a classic Robusto format, a little longer and a slightly larger ring gauge) which sits well in the hand, has a fine bouquet of aromas and burns evenly and stably. And... Tata.... This cigar has led us to the Habanos Champion 2024. What more could you want?
I'm already looking forward to next year's event in Havana. Are you going to be there? Our film crew will be stopping by. I wish you every success! With stage stars, they say "Break a leg!" With cigar stars, they say "Burn your lips and tongue!" 😆
I also prefer Churchill. If Robusto, then nothing beats an aged D4. A dream of a cigar: leather, earth, a hint of marzipan. I think I'm about to go back to the cave 🙂
Cave? Then your humidor must be huge! Hopefully you won't get lost in it 😅
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2, you never forget your first great love 😍
For me, Robusto is an unacceptable format! I prefer the formats: Lancero, Lonsdale and Churchill!
Hello Vasilij
At the moment I'm really into the Leaf Maduro Robusto from Oscar Valladares. For me, the taste and the draw are terrific. And then there's the unwrapping from the cigar leaf...a really brilliant idea!
My safe bet among the Robustos is the AVO Classic. It's always a winner, and its taste and finish are hard to beat.
Happy holidays and good smoke to everyone!

It's unbelievable, I've never smoked this creation before!
