I've had the robusto. Found it to be an enjoyable smoke, but not the most complex one. I'd put it on the mellower to medium end of the scale. Also feel LA does well on construction generally with rare exceptions

I've had the La Aurora Preferidos, the cameroon is the platinum and those are amazing. If you want to want, I'll split them with you, I dang sure don't need a full box.

Gunner, how did you cut yours? I used a straight cutter and found the draw really tough on these. Maybe I didn't snip enough though. As short as it was, I didn't want to lose too much.

You run into plugs every now and then. Sail needle or a draw enhancer will make short work of those. 🍺

I second that. The little barbs open a tunnel that's resistant To tar filling back in. Balked at cost initially but it's been worth it in frustration avoided

Thanks gents, I will try again and see how it goes. With those sticks being as short as they are, I could probably just use a 10 penny nail as a draw poker...

OK, will keep an eye out for a perfect draw.

I was smoking the perfecto preferidos, so maybe the shape had something to do with the issues I was having. it's a pretty small vitola and there was not a ton of room to snip the end, so it's entirely possible that I just didn't snip off enough. I tend to err on the side of caution when snipping straight across. It's a by-product of attending a number of circumcisions (I am a Hebe).
