The robusto in this sampler hit that sweet spot between strength and smoothness I’ve been craving, and the variety really lets you settle into your favorite. Burn was even all the way through, which always makes the experience better.

Started with the Connecticut and worked my way to the maduro, and every single one burned evenly with a rich, smooth draw. The variety of strengths in this six-pack is perfect for figuring out what you actually like, and I’ve already gone back for another box.

The sampler gives you a decent range of wrappers to try, from mild to full-bodied. I liked the variety but found the construction on one stick a bit loose, which affected the draw. A fair introduction for the price, though nothing blew me away.
