Our review

Short and fat, Robusto cigars are one of the most popular vitolas on the market and can easily be enjoyed in under an hour. While the burn isn’t as long as a Churchill or Toro, the wider ring gauge ensures a smoke that’s every bit as flavorful and complex. Thanks to our unique Barrel Fermentation process, where bundles of Kentucky fire-cured tobacco are soaked in Pappy Van Winkle bourbon barrels for 12 to 18 months, Pappy Company’s premium Barrel Fermented cigars, which are hand-rolled by the artisans at Drew Estate in Estelí, Nicaragua, feature a unique bourbon influenced flavor profile and aroma. The strength level of this sophisticated cigar collection, which comes in two additional vitolas, is “Medium Plus.” In other words, it can be enjoyed by both new smokers and longtime fans. Pappy Company pro tip: Pair it with spicier spirits such as rye.
