Vitola: Prominentes (Double Corona) | Size: 49 ring gauge × 194 mm (7⅝″)
The Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro stands as a tribute to one of Cuba’s most legendary tobacco growers, Alejandro Robaina, whose name graces this distinguished brand. Introduced in 1997, Vegas Robaina cigars are crafted using the finest tobacco from the famed Vuelta Abajo region, and the Don Alejandro is the flagship vitola in the line—a commanding Double Corona with a generous 194 mm length and a 49 ring gauge.
This cigar delivers a nuanced, medium-bodied profile that develops steadily throughout its lengthy format. Expect rich flavors of cedar, leather, and aged tobacco up front, with subtle spice emerging in the first third. As the cigar progresses, it mellows into smoother notes of sweet cream, roasted nuts, and a fleeting hint of caramel, providing a layered and evolving smoking experience.
Construction is consistently excellent, with a smooth draw and firm ash. While the burn may occasionally require minor correction, the overall experience remains refined and satisfying. The wrapper—typically a golden brown—adds to the elegance of this stately cigar, making it an ideal companion for unhurried evenings and contemplative moments.
The Don Alejandro is more than just a cigar—it’s a piece of Cuban tobacco heritage, honoring a man whose legacy is rolled into every inch. A must-smoke for the seasoned aficionado and a stellar introduction to the depth of the Vegas Robaina marca.
