The Liga Privada T52 Robusto is a full-bodied Nicaraguan powerhouse - dark, oily, black pepper and espresso. I smoked one: worth the hype, hard to find.
The Crowned Heads Four Kicks Robusto is a refined medium-full Ecuadorian Habano of cedar, pepper and cocoa near $9. I smoked one - flawless burn, real balance.
The San Cristobal Quintessence Robusto is a My Father-made smoke of coffee, molasses and pepper. I smoked one - box-worthy sweet-and-spicy value near $10.
The Flor de las Antillas Toro was 2012 Cigar of the Year. I smoked one - pepper into leather and cream, box-pressed, and still a superb sub-$14 Nicaraguan.
The My Father Le Bijou 1922 Robusto is a full-bodied bruiser for around $11: pepper, cocoa and real nicotine. Big value, but not a cigar to smoke hungry.
