Favorite Robusto

[Yagermeister]

For me it's RASS > CoRo > Connie 1

Unlike others, I don't mind young RASS (young being 1-2 yrs old). Don't have the patience to age them. CoRos on the other hand need some time.

Can't stand PSD4 or JLS2, and VR does nothing for me.

I also keep some HdM Epi2 and Boli RCs for variety, but they fall just short of being "favorites."

[SMQQKIN]

HURR, Boli RC & PSD4

I could live on just these three cigars and be happy if Pres picked them out.

[tjohn7]

Your list missing some notables, especially since it is not an actual robust list, but of cigars that are close.

RyJ Ex 4

Monte PE

Trini Rob t

Quinteros whatever it's called....

Vegueros new one....

Upmann robust el

I'm sure there are others, ESPECIALLY if including regionals and limiteds.

My mistake, Shlomo. Tried to add in the ones I could. I kept the LE and REs out of it. Which ones do you favor?

[ramon_cojones]

I wouldn't trust shlomos palate!

[CdnLimitada]

Hpi 2 just cause it is the most consistant and I don't tire of the flavors (at least not yet) but the Behike and CoRo if on are real good.

[tjohn7]

Had a PSD4 tonight and it did not impress. Was from NOV 13 but nowhere near the complexity of the HDM Epi 2.

The only robusto I don't like on the list is the ryj short churchill. But I do like ryj exh. #4 though.

I sure as hell don't....That guy is a moose

Of the ones listed...

BRC, ERDM CS, Conn. 1, Upmann RR, Epi 2, CoRo, Monte PE, SLR Regios, BHK 52, PL Rob., RASS, Famoso, PSD4, RyJ SC,

I have not had an Upmann Robusto nor an RyJ Ex 4 (in a very long time). I have not had enough Trini Robusto T to form a strong opinion, but the ones I had were generally not to my liking.

If I never have a JL 2 again, it will be too soon. I am still tasting the putridness fro the last **** rolled, urine dipped, vomit filled cigar. I don't "hate" many cigars, the JL 2 is one I hate though.

Ask me tomorrow and I have little doubt this list will change...

[stunod]

Am I the only Monti Petit Edmundo fan. Can't be.

[airtrade]

Epi 2 or RASS depending on the mood.

The H Upmann Robusto from the 2007 Leather Travel Humidor packs!

Big Monte PE fan also, CoRo, HURR... actually, I like them all. I only hate the Famosos, but the ones I have are not very good. I am sure I would like them if I had an HQ box from Rob.

[Habana Mike]

This is kind of like asking which of your children is your favorite.....depends on the day and their behavior

That said I tend to smoke the RASS, CoRo, and PSD4, with the occasional HdM Epi #2, JL #2 and BRC in the Robusto format. HU Connie #1, ERDM CS for the Hermoso #4's

Not even going to go into the EL, RE and other variants of approximate size though could probably name a few I enjoy....of course your mileage may vary.

[Maplepie]

I kept the LE and REs out of it.

Holy balls. good.

this is a cute emoticon.

Pdn4 &/or boli RC, a toss up

I don't think there is a bad one. Regular production that is; I don't smoke EL'S or RE's. If I had to pick just one then I'd have to take the connie 1

[Hash]

PSD#4 difficult to beat when they are good, followed by RASS.

[kwsaw63]

Tough to choose as there's lots of decent cigars on the list. The ones I like are the Epi 2, Trini Robusto T, PSD4, Monte PE, SLR Regios & VR Famosos. But I voted for the RyJ Ex 4 coz it was my first Robusto box purchase and when they are "on" they are awesome!

[saintsmokealot]

Aged CoRo's are a beautiful thing.

[earthson]

All things I'd love to know, as I'm transitioning into more robustos as I leave the DC vitola (don't have 1.5 hrs to spend).

Thanks!

You can smoke a Cuban DC in 1.5 hours!? That's an amazing record (and awfully fast).

I chose the RASS because, although it needs a couple of years to open up, I have found it to be one of the more consistent CCs. The flavor is so complex that it defies description. It's got that rustic quality that I tend to prefer.

I will have to give a nod to the Por Larranaga Robustos de Larranaga from 2007 - this thing is like sweetened floral tea with touches of wood, slight cream and coffee. Too bad it's RE - I could buy these things regularly.

Still waiting to try the PL Picadores. It could unseat RASS as my go-to Robusto/Hermoso

[earthson]

How would you rank a young RASS?

I believe you answered your own question.

2 year minimum from boxcode for me.

Haha hell no! I meant transitioning from NC DC, to CCs. I'm trying out Rob's DC/Piramide sampler, but mostly will be smoking smaller vitolas. My PSD4 from last night took me an hour and a half!

Ah, I see! CC are generally rolled much tighter than NC so I'll smoke a CC PC and a friend will smoke an NC Robusto or Toro and my stick usually will last longer.

CCs have definitely taught me the finesse and artistry of the skinny cigar.

[joeypots]

I'm not a big fan of the vitolas and like the hermoso #4 less than the robusto

That said I'll take a CORO with some time and then a RASS first. The HU Connie #1I got because of the chatter on this board last summer are pretty damn good.
