To sum up, think that at the price point there are other cigars from Robaina that offer more bang for the buck.
By the way the Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro 7.63x49 (double Corona?) is a fantastic smoke. Bit hard to find & a tad on the pricey side. But an excellent smoke. The Vegas R0baina Famosos 5x48 are very good, esp when they're on sale for under $200.
