Since 1845 the Robaina family has farmed tobacco continuously on its precious vegas (fields) at Cuchillas de Barbacoa situated in the San Luis district of the Vuelta Abajo tobacco zone.
Vegas Robaina cigars were introduced in 1997 as a tribute to Cuban tobacco farmers through the figurehead of Don Alejandro Robaina whose reputation in his day for producing the finest wrapper leaves was legendary. In effect the brand honours all the annoymous tobacco growers whose knowledge and skill make Habanos what they are today.
Gordon –
Superb cigar, lovely draw lots of smoke. Smooth and mellow all the way
Lyold –
Strongly recommend this Corona to all lovers of the Vegas Robaina family.
Rodney –
Firm consistency, 1-inch+ ash, beautiful and rich plume, earthy notes and oak/cacao flavors, VERY nice and smooth draw, wish it was bigger so I could enjoy for long
David –
Every once in a while a cigar comes along that really stands out from the rest and this habano is one such cigar – outstanding. My only criticism would be that the end got a little soggy making the draw a bit tight at times although this might have been more from my enthusiasm in smoking it than anything else!
Phineas –
Firm consistency, 1-inch+ ash, beautiful and rich plume, earthy notes and oak/cacao flavors, VERY nice and smooth draw, wish it was bigger so I could enjoy for another 10-15 minutes, still went on to 40-45 minutes with a fine Mauritius spiced rum. Very good choice, recommended.
