Robustos

What Is a Robusto? And What It Is?
The Robusto is one of the most popular and versatile cigar vitolas, known for its short, stout shape—typically around 5 inches in length with a 50-ring gauge. It offers a perfect balance of time, flavor, and strength, making it a favorite among both new smokers and seasoned aficionados.

The Explanation
The Robusto format delivers a concentrated, flavorful smoke without the extended time commitment of larger cigars. Its thicker ring gauge allows for a rich blend of filler tobaccos, while the shorter length provides a satisfying burn time of around 45 minutes to an hour.

Expect bold, rounded flavors that develop quickly and stay consistent throughout the smoke. Whether it’s earthy, spicy, creamy, or peppery, a Robusto gives you the full essence of the blend in a compact, approachable form. Its balanced proportions make it ideal for showcasing both strength and complexity without overwhelming the palate.

For those who want maximum impact in a manageable size, the Robusto is the gold standard—short, stout, and unapologetically flavorful.
