Robusto Cigars

Short and wide, the robusto is the size most smokers come back to: about five inches with a 50 ring gauge. Enough tobacco for a full blend, short enough for an evening.

What is a robusto cigar?

A robusto measures about five inches long with a ring gauge near 50, give or take a little from one maker to the next. It became a favorite in American humidors for a simple reason: it delivers a complete blend in under an hour.

How a robusto smokes

The wide ring keeps the smoke cool and the draw easy, and the shorter length means flavor builds quickly toward the final third. Most smokers take about forty-five minutes to an hour.

Good to know

So many blends come in a robusto that it is the best size for comparing one maker against another, side by side.
