The Double Robusto is, for a lot of fans, the definitive Serie V. At 5 by 54, box-pressed, it's a short, thick smoke that delivers the full Serie V experience without a long time commitment — and it has the awards to back up its reputation.
What it tastes like
The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper sits over a Nicaraguan core anchored by Jalapa Valley ligero. It's full-bodied and generous: espresso and dark chocolate lead, with sweet cedar, toast, and a steady pepper spice rounding things out. The box press makes the draw effortless and the burn slow and even.
Who it's for
This is an aficionado's everyday cigar — enough strength and complexity to satisfy, in a format you can finish in under an hour. New to full-bodied Nicaraguans? Read the cigar strength guide first, and see our Cuban vs Nicaraguan comparison for why this style smokes the way it does.
