Nice mild smoke, well constructed and very good value. I did notice a hint of white pepper and a bit of nuttiness although I don’t think it was almond as the description suggests.

There isn’t much 6.75 gets you in todays prices but this is very solid. Very mild and definitely worth picking up if you’re looking for a daily smoke without hurting the bank.

Thank you cigar chief!
Great flavour and very good construction and smoking. You guys put together a wonderful stick. I do regret buying only 6. I will definitely be getting a larger order next time and look forward to trying your other blends if this is a reflection of the calibre you stand to. Well done and thank you again!
This may become my go to stick.

Nice mild smoke, very consistent throughout, nice and smooth with small hints of pepper and nuttiness. Construction was really good and burn was even throughout the smoke. Solid smoke at a great price. Will definitely buy more for some cheap sticks.

A nice smoke with a taste of white pepper. Nice mild spice throughout. The burn was constant with solid ash. Well constructed with great draw and took me about an hour to finish. Can’t beat the price. A humidor filler!

The smoke was nice and mild, but the construction was lacking. It burned unevenly, and the cap tore when I cut the cigar, possibly due to it being slightly drier than optimal. However, the smoke output was quite good. If you don’t mind the construction issues, it’s a pleasant choice for a mild smoke.

Great everyday cigar! Grab one on my way out to run errands or just a quick cigar with a buddy. Great cigar for the price. Wrapper can be hit or miss with the construction but doesn’t bother me any.
If you are looking for a less expensive stick to smoke I can’t recommend enough. I always have some on hand.

i bought 5 of the Connecticut robusto by claudio sgroi,
i keep them in my humidor it indicate 65 deg humidity.
so far i smoked 3 of them, i found they burn unevenly, one of them eveen burned inside for half the lenght, at first i tought it burn slowly but it became really hot to the touch, i cuted it in half with my cigar cutter to find out ashes inside, the wrapper did not burned except for the first 1/4 inch. the 0ther 2 needd to be kept alive by pumping them regularly

I gave it a fair try, but for my taste it just lacks personality. The burn was consistent, yet the cigar never delivered any real impact. The flavor felt like a generic Montecristo, nothing memorable.

Very good cigar, good flavour, good draw, didn’t burn out. 1 hour burn time, smooth taste, a little canoeing but that was quickly taken care of. I wish they came in a Toro or Gordo size. I will be buying more in the future. Good for an every day smoke.
