RoMa Craft Wunder|Lust Robusto

Wunder|Lust is the most enigmatic line in the RoMa Craft Tobac portfolio. For nearly five years after its introduction, Skip Martin distributed it exclusively to retailers in Germany — making it one of the most sought-after and hardest-to-find RoMa Craft cigars for American smokers. The inspiration came from the massive tobacco inventory at the Schuster family's factory in Germany, which is where RoMa Craft discovered the Brazilian Mata Fina leaf that defines the blend. The Robusto, at 5 × 50, is the most widely produced vitola and the one that earned Cigar Coop's #13 cigar of the year in 2017.

What it tastes like

Brazilian Mata Fina (Castaño Oscuro) is a wrapper you rarely encounter — darker than a natural, lighter than a Maduro, with a distinctly different flavor profile than either. On the Wunder|Lust Robusto it delivers creamy oak and natural tobacco sweetness from the opening draw, with dried fruit notes that emerge in the mid-section. The Indonesian Besuki binder adds a grounding earthiness, and the Nicaraguan filler contributes coffee and a gentle pepper finish. Medium-bodied from start to finish, it's exceptionally well-balanced. Reviewers clock it at 45 minutes or more.

Who it's for

The Wunder|Lust Robusto suits experienced smokers who want something genuinely different — a wrapper tobacco that doesn't fit into the usual Connecticut/Habano/Maduro categories. Medium body makes it approachable for those who aren't chasing full-strength territory. Pair it with a single malt Scotch or a Belgian ale; the creamy oak notes in the cigar find great partners in malt-forward drinks.
