The Vegas Robaina Famosos is a robusto measuring 127 mm by 48 ring gauge, wrapped in a smooth and oily colorado leaf with a firm touch.
At cold draw, it reveals rich earthy notes mingled with a hint of stable. The draw is well balanced.
The first third ignites with roasted flavors and a blend of both smooth and peppery spices. Perfect ventilation supports a confident body, evolving towards bold coffee and rich cocoa by the end of this stage.
In the second third, moka and pepper dominate but occasionally drift into bitter coffee territory. Despite a well-adjusted draw, the cigar tends to overheat if handled too eagerly.
The final third maintains its power but gains a touch of roundness, with notes of roasted coffee and spices leading to a robust finish.
Conclusion: A vitola as powerful as it is intense, the Famosos holds onto last year’s rating, even though its aromatic profile feels noticeably different.
