Royal Jamaica Gold Robusto Review

[Iceman]

This is a nice medium-mild cigar that people who enjoy a lighter smoke.

Royal Jamaica Gold Robusto

· Wrapper - Nicaraguan
· Binder - Nicaraguan
· Filler - Jamaican, Honduran, Nicaraguan
· Ring Size - 52
· Length - 5"

Construction: A natural reddish brown smooth wrapper. Not veiny at all. Light oily sheen. No soft spots. Clipped clean. A very nice looking cigar once you get the gold sleeve and extra bands off.

Prelight: Not overpowering. A nice nutty woody scent.

Burn: Very nice even burn. Did not require a relight. The ash held together for about 1 ½”.

Draw: This cigar had a nice draw. Very easy. An easy draw is important to me and this stick rated high with me.

Drink: A brown or amber ale would go well with the woody taste of this cigar.

Smoking Notes: This cigar was very consistent throughout. Hints of leather and a slight bourbon-like taste drifted in and out. A nice medium cigar that was rich with a lot of taste. It stayed creamy and smooth until the end. A very good smoking experience.

Overall Impression: These cigars come with a gold sleeve and extra bands. I don’t think this was necessary but may be done because this is a fairly new line, replacing the older Royal Jamaica’s. Peeling off all this extra packaging runs the risk of damaging the wrapper. This was a nice medium-mild to medium smoke that didn’t bite and finished well. I bought a few at the local tobacco shop. All have been the same consistency.

I've really been wanting to try some of these...they have been getting high marks on some sites and in C.A........the description sounds "right up my alley".

Great review.
I really enjoy these. I feel its a great under rated smoke. I smoked a box of them last summer.

Very good review!!!!

The Royal Jams are kind of my "change-of-pace" smoke, and the distinctive flavor always comes through! These are also very good sticks to introduce the new cigar-smoker to the unique flavors of tobacco.

I'm enjoying one of these right now. It's a bit mild for my taste, and I'm having some burn issues(which I blame fully on the wind) but it's definitely a good cigar. This wrapper is pretty attractive too. No big veins, nice reddish hue. I might have to pick up a few of these. My only real gripe is all the bands. I spent 5 minutes trying to unwrap it without hurting the wrapper. Still, a good smoke by my standards.
