The Cigar Chief x Escobar Premium Blend Connecticut Robusto is defined by its closed foot and high priming Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, delivering a concentrated and exceptionally smooth opening. This 2024 Cigar Chief house blend is crafted at the PDR factory in the Dominican Republic by master blender Abe Flores, highlighting precision construction and carefully aged tobaccos.
An extended aged Ecuador Connecticut wrapper sits over a Piloto Dominican binder with a five year aged filler blend of Dominican Criollo 98 and US Broadleaf. The 5 x 52 format and closed foot enhance flavour delivery at first light while maintaining a refined and balanced burn throughout.
The Cigar Chief x Escobar Premium Blend Connecticut Robusto opens creamy and controlled, then develops subtle earthiness and natural sweetness as it progresses. Medium in strength and polished in profile, it offers an approachable yet composed experience suited to both seasoned smokers and newcomers.
Bundle of 25 cigars

Really great smoke especially for the price. Smoked like a super premo cigar. Definitely will order again

The first 25% was a tough draw. The remaining 75% offered rich smoke, even burn and a quality experience which was enhanced by the smooth quality connecticut wrapper. Evaluating this on the last 75% I had a good experience that lasted quite awhile. Perhaps more time aging would change this? I plan to age some in the humidor over the next year and re-evaluate.

This review is based off of only one cigar.
– First impressions, cigar looks nice but had an unusual smell and raw draw taste. Perhaps due to the aged tobacco(?)
– Didn’t like the first third too much taste wise.
– Build quality: Wrapper split and unraveled in the first five minutes of smoking.
– Second Third tasted much better and the smoke was much richer. The split continued but the ash was strong.
My overall impression: I guess I expected more from the Premium line than I got. I much prefer the other house blends from Cigar Chief and I don’t think I would buy this offering again.

I’ve had these multiple times now and every time has been excellent. Not overly complex but a tasty well constructed stick.

Easy 90 for this robusto. Nothing particular stands out, simply a good smoke and priced accordingly. Thanks CC…….. your sizes and shapes are great, but if you created an equivalent in a lancero or double corona, would make me, one, happy puffer. Cheers!

I’m giving this a 5 star because it is better than I expected. Beautifully constructed, consistent burn. No off putting flavor notes. Smooth. As another review said, “It’s nothing out of the ordinary.” But ticks every single box in it’s category. Just a high quality cigar for the price.

Really nice smoke. First time ordering online and thought I’d roll the dice on this. Was pleasantly impressed. Smoked easy and the flavour was really smooth and mild. Made me a believer in the store brand. Will venture out and try some others on the next order.

The first few puffs tasted kinda “cheap”, but after that it proved to be a decent cigar. I’d gladly put them in a regular rotation.

Very nice smoke, I bought 10 of those sticks, smoked only one so far, planning to age the other ones a little bit. I’m really impressed with the quality of that Cigar for the price. Well built, nice smoke and ashes and I think that it is a really smooth cigar 👍🏻👍🏻
