One of the dumbest execution of a great Habanos blend.

Can't be summed up better than that.

Regardless of blend I can't believe they haven't done a Robustos Extra D3/D2 yet. Talk about a teed-up winner.

Pointless to me, once you get going and start getting nice flavors it starts to overheat and get bitter, D5 is way better.

It's astonishing how well these seem to sell. Do people really enjoy this vitola?

I think they really missed the mark not doing these as a true Petit Robusto considering the popularity of the Hoyo PR that had been established 10 years before the D6. 

I guess they got the message since there's never been another D No.6 released.

Someone must be buying these, it can't be just me! 😉

For me, they're like an amped-up version of the Partagas Serie D No.4 and average around 50 minutes a smoke.

It goes without saying that the 20-count wooden box packaging is woeful, the 5-count tins are more handy.

P.S. I also very much enjoy the similarly-sized Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales. Surely someone else must be buying those too! 😄

I was buying both at lower price points. Will not be buying either in future! Going to let my existing stock age a few more years.

That's why I hate to love the PSD6. They can be frustrating some times...

This assessment totally makes sense to me. 👍🏼

 

I just recently acquired a box of these with a couple years already on em and they are smoking wonderfully. It’s my first time trying them and I am a fan.

I’m loving the shorter vitolas lately as having a toddler limits my sit down time. But having something like this that I could light up while we take a family walk around the neighborhood is really nice.

It would be awesome to see these in a little baby cab instead of the weird box they come in.

I had a moan about these previously. I've only tried a handful. Just harsh pepper bombs.

Maybe I should try another one...

Which ones did you try? I have smoked a lot of N1s and N3s. Zero pepper from start to finish
