Review Notes: i have smoked over 20 of these and somehow have not reviewed them. I am smoking one now, sitting out on the porch after dinner of burgers and pineapple. i never remember having a problem with this vitola, unlike the robusto #2 which is 60 gauge. this one burned flawlessly. It will last me about an hour, unlike the #2 which is an hour and a half smoke. Not as strong as the #2 , but still packs a punch. you cant go wrong with these!
