It is a Dominican puro. The wrapper is a Rosado Oscuro leaf grown at Chateau de la Fuente, the Fuente family's farm in the Dominican Republic, over Dominican binder and filler. Fuente gives the wrapper extra aging and fermentation, which it says produces a robust, balanced, dark finish. halfwheel described the leaf as darker and redder than a standard OpusX wrapper. The cigars are rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia in the Dominican Republic.

Cigar Coop's Robusto opened on cocoa, earth, mineral and a touch of burnt cherry, with white pepper on the retrohale. Mineral and earth took the lead before the midpoint and held it to the nub as the pepper rose and the cocoa faded. halfwheel's PerfecXion No. 4 ran sweetness, pepper and earth into chalk and mineral, then brought cherry, sweet wood and warm nuts back in the second third. Both reviews start at medium strength and build to medium-full by the final third, with a medium-full body. The early sweetness was Cigar Coop's highlight.

🏆 2017 92 Rating, Box Worthy — Cigar Coop (Robusto)

Choosing Your Size

Robusto (5 1/4x50) — The size Cigar Coop rated 92: cocoa, earth, mineral and burnt cherry, with the pepper building late. 60 to 75 minutes. The reviewer called it box worthy and recommended it to experienced smokers, adding that newer smokers could enjoy it too. Allocated; availability varies.

Super Belicoso (5 1/2x52) — A belicoso tapers to a pointed head, so the smoke lands on a smaller spot of the palate and the flavors read sharper. 70 to 85 minutes. Cut it shallow to keep the draw firm. A quarter inch longer than the Robusto with two more ring, so a little more time with the same blend.

Double Robusto (5 3/4x52) — The longest Oro Oscuro Renegade carries. 75 to 95 minutes. The extra length gives the second-third cherry, sweet wood and nut phase more room before the earth and pepper take over. The one for a full evening.
