The Gran Robusto, a 5.5×52 stick, has a Brazilian wrapper, a Corojo binder and a combo of Nicaraguan, Peruvian and Dominican fillers. These cigars have been aged since 1991.
The main thing I tasted in this smoke was leather. It was a good smoke, good draw and plenty of smoke. I didn’t taste anything besides the leather, perhaps because I am not as experienced, but that was it. I did like the cigar and I smoked the entire thing, never getting hot all the way to the nub. Good smoke.

January 2008 was the first month of our new Cigar Club, Stogie Ninja Society. This month was Judge’s month and he chose a sampler pack of Oliveros cigars from Cigar International.
Tonight I smoked the Oliveros International Churchill. This smoke measures 7.0″ x 50 and it’s blend employs a mixture of 100% Cuban-seed long-fillers from the Dominican Republic. The smoke started out a bit spicy and bitter, but very quickly turned into a great, woodsy tasting smokes. The smoke was very smooth with a terrific draw and plenty of smoke. It lasted for about an hour and smoked good all the way down to the nub. It did tend to get a little hot at the very end, but I wasn’t disappointed because I didn’t expect it to taste quite this good. I am looking on CigarBid right now, trying to find more of these cigars because I liked this one so much. I’d recommend this cigar to people who are new to smoking and also those who have been into cigars for as long as I have, about 2 year.
