Best "Blind" purchase I have ever made

I honestly believe buying a box of the Jimenes Robusto smokes was the best purchase I have ever made without some prior knowledge of what I was going to be receiving. The burn, construction and draw has been just damn near perfect on everyone I have smoked. What I would call a mild smoke, or possibly mild to medium, the taste is superb. They burn evenly and slowly, and I've yet to have to relight one. I'll definitely be seeking these out in the future, and could recommend them without reservation.

Rich and Creamy

Very rich & creamy, with spice and hints of milk chocolate on the palate. A very enjoyable after dinner smoke. Burn, draw and flavor is awesome, with billows of thick smoke. Never had to relight it. Smoked it to the nub. Will have to add this to my humidor as a regular. I give it a 9 across the board.

Impressive

Impressive in every respect: appearance, aroma, flavour, draw, the perfect burn and the white & firm ash. The cigar was almost finished and the ash was on. And this Toro is a gigante...
Compliments to the makers this one great cigar !!

Twenty minutes worth

An unimpressive looking cross between a cigarillo and a demi-tasse. The light brown maduro wrapper is lightly veined and consistent in color from one Madurito to the next. The ash is light grey and fairly firm, the burn is consistent if a little uneven at times. They have a tendency to get a little soft and loose towards the end. The taste is exceptional for a small cigar. Notes of coffee and cocoa dominate a fairly complex array of flavours for a small cigar. A real bargain for well under a dollar a stick if you like to keep twenty minute smokes available.

a good little smoke witha big cigar taste

I felt the construction could be better, but that put aside it is a nice flavourful smoke

Great Smoke!

My first time trying Leon, but will not be my last! GREAT Smoke!! The construction, burn, and rich flavors made it an effortless, and ENJOYABLE experience.

Close to Cuban

I'm skeptical about Cigar Aficionado's reviews, but they do make me try new cigars. This smoke is perhaps the surprise of the year for me. Rich, with a spicy, sweet wood flavor, I couldn't put it down, really reminded me of a Cuban Partagas, truly a cigar you want to try.

Constructed by Professionals

This is the best built torpedo I have seen. A perfect even white ash till it burned my fingers.
The taste is woody with the maduro tobacco sweetness. Just a bit firm on the draw with full volume of smoke. A smooth full bodied smoke for after dinner. Always have some in the humi. The robusto is great also.

One great maduro.

I met Nestor Miranda of Miami Cigar at my local smokeshop and he gave me one to try. Took it home and had it after dinner. As Tony the tiger says "Its GREEEEAAAT" Full bodied, the Brasil Maduro wrapper tastes wonderful. I wouldn't advise smoking this little baby on an empty stomach though. Not for the weak. Nestor is a real nice guy too. Yes i have more in the humi
