Just got them (robustos) and had to tight one up ASAP.

If the first was any indication, this is going to be one fine box of smokes!

Silky smooth construction. As far as appearance, they are not near as toothy as the regular "O"s and not quite as oily. Actually, a bit more refined in appearance. Presentation is awesome as well.

Burn and draw were absolutely perfect. Nice full body without being over-powering. Long, clean finish with nice nutty/coffee flavors tapering off to leather towards the end. I actually see some similarities to Padron in this Oliva.....guess it may be the geographic proximity (Nic.).

Got them for $88 and am VERY pleased.

how long did you let the ash get before you had to knock it off.

1.5" i suppose on first drop.......2" on second (and last)

you know thems is sweet.

They are great.

I can only imagine what they will be like in a year. I have only had one, but am hoping to put away a box soon.

Later

What Cav said, in SPADES!

Hammered through the box of Torps that I bought. In fact, if anyone is interested in the handpainted and individually numbered box, I would entertain trading it for a few premium sticks.
