Name: Don Rafa Robusto Habano

Country: Nicaragua

Shape: Parejo

Size: Robusto (5 inches x 50)

Strength: Mild to Medium

Someone told me that Don Rafa cigars are “good and cheap, if you want to smoke them every day.” I got curious. Though I don’t plan on smoking the same cigar forever, I lit one to see what “good and cheap” means.

Don Rafa is an affordable cigar that tastes like the good break you need. Though a little earthy and peppery, it’s an easy-to-smoke cigar. Very casual. You can fire one up any time.

Have a Cigar: Gold Edition Short Robusto

Name: Gold Edition Short Robusto

Country: Honduras

Shape: Parejo

Size: Short Robusto (3 7/8 inches x 63)

Strength: Medium

Short and fat, the Gold Edition Short Robusto is a medium-bodied cigar that was probably made for short, midday breaks. I smoked mine at a casual gathering, but I could imagine myself lighting one to conclude a lunch break or dinner. It goes well with lager and coffee, and it burns majestically. I got hints of walnut, cedar, bread, and coffee.

You can absolutely count on this fatso whenever you need a time out.

Have a Cigar: Edicion Roja Cinco

Name: Edicion Roja Cinco

Country: Honduras

Shape: Parejo

Size: Robusto (5 3/8 inches x 52)

Strength: Medium

Earthy, smooth, with notes of caramel, coffee, and cedar… Deriving pleasure from the Edicion Roja Cinco cigar was easy business. It burned evenly and every draw was as good as the one before it.

Like it happens with most cigars that I like, I smoked it until there was nothing left to smoke.
