An often neglected but awesome complex cigar. Very nice construction, with lots of creamy smoke, a nice clean burn and an easy draw.

- • Some taste of star anise and a trace of saltiness on the lips.
- • Creamy toasted nuts and toffee.
A very well balanced robusto packed with complex flavor.

Vegas Robaina Famosos Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
A very nice tobacco aroma with a bit of barnyard, some hint of herbs. Foot smells of leather and tobacco and a hint of coffee.
Burn/ Draw
A slightly wavy self-correcting burn but with and even easy draw.
Initial third:
The first third is medium in body with plenty of dark cocoa and a hint of pepper.
Middle third:
The taste of pepper is more prominent in the second third with a touch of cream and dark honey. Dark cocoa is also present throughout this section with a medium to full body on the palate.
Final third:
Final third was more intense and becomes spicier with creamy dark chocolate with some espresso to the palate.
In summary, a fine robusto to rival the top 5.

I was pleasantly surprised and found this to be smooth and flavorful. My usual is a Montecristo #2.
Cliff –
Excellent service as always ! Been a customer since 2001 and there is no equal to luxury cubans. Keep up the GREAT work.
Miguel –
Nice little cigar

My favorite from Cuba so far. The absolute best aroma that I’ve ever gotten from a cigar. Baking bread with sweet graham all day. Flavor on the draw is very similar to the armor. Baked bread .. Some pepper but light… Graham .. Love the graham cracker flavor of it. I would highly recommend it. Also great service and quick shipping to boot.

My cigars arrived in a timely fashion and were easy to track throughout their shipment. 2 of the sticks had some minimal wrapper damage, but I don’t think this will affect the smoking experience. They will sit for at least 6 months in my wineador before I give them a try.
Tim –
Great cigar. Like all Cuban cigars it needs 3 to 12 months aging in a humidor

Shipping and delivery were spot on. I have only smoked one cigar from the box. A bit of a disappointment – the outer leaf separated from the cigar about one third through. Perhaps they need more time in the humidor?
Bill –
I bit too strong for me, but a nice cigar overall
Alex –
Smooth fantastic smoke. Good draw. Relax and enjoy
Lloyd –
Good Cigar
Tobias –
Not overly impressed by this one – not a bad cigar, just not my taste. To each his own. Quality and construction were very nice.
Derek –
For anyone looking to try something different this is a recommended cigar. It had an even burn and draw throughout. I will be ordering more of these in the new year.
Leon –
very good flavor, quality
Dereck –
Started very Cuban and very sweet. Really liked it at beginning. Not used to cigars being so pleasantly sweet. This is one of few cigars in which I do taste sweet. Very good. When you combine a unique sweetness with the unique Cuban flavors it is a very enjoyable combination.
After a while the sweetness does weaken, but still a solid pleasant flavor and smoke
Warren –
I bought a box two years ago. Smoked a couple nothing special. After aging. Wow! Intense robust flavor!
Jerome –
Fast delivery and good quality cigar. Quite strong on last 3/3
Ffloyd –
Robaina Famosos took about three weeks to arrive, but worth the wait. Cigars were on the light side, but oily and well-aged.
Perfect draw and rustic construction typical of the marque. Excellent burn. No real complexity, but mild, tasty notes of toast and dark coffee were pleasantly constant throughout. Great anytime, especially with coffee or a glass of Port. Many thanks to luxury cubans for delivering the real thing!

I ordered a few sticks from luxury cubans although i thought they where a little slow getting to me. Maybe they weren’t cos it was during the X-Mas and New Year holidays. All of the cigars where awesome but the R 1845 and the Bolivar did capture my heart most. My package arrived in good shape with no outer or inter damage. Customer service was outstanding in helping me track my package you guys rock. Will place another order here shortly.
Alvin –
Excellent value for money: balanced and not too sharp or leafy
Tim –
Very good flavor, quality, a drag
Wesley –
Cigar burn required extra lighting 1/3 of way but that was lite right after delivery. After 3 week the 2 new as more consistent however I feel they need to rest a least a month before smoking. 60 days later I had an even burn and some nice leather flavors. I will let others set for a least 6 to 12 months tot get true flavor of this stick..
