Bentley Green Edition Robusto Cigar Review

The Bentley Green Edition Robusto is a Nicaraguan-made cigar that combines elegance and approachability in a well-crafted format. Dressed in an Ecuadorian Rosado wrapper, this Robusto immediately catches the eye with its smooth, reddish-brown hue. The wrapper is clean with minimal veins and tight seams, giving the cigar a refined appearance. It’s well-packed and feels substantial in the hand, promising a quality experience.

Upon lighting, the first third delivers a burst of cedar wood that commands attention. This is quickly followed by a complex interplay of Brazil nuts, leather, and a molasses-like sweetness accented by baker’s spice. A gentle cayenne pepper spice builds toward the end of the segment, keeping the profile interesting without overwhelming the palate. The finish is clean and crisp.

In the second third, the pepper note remains but shifts into a more subdued black pepper. The cedar begins to fade as earthy tones take the lead. The nuttiness persists, now joined by a subtle sweetness reminiscent of a Fig Newton and a light touch of citrus, offering a pleasant contrast to the earthy core.

The final third intensifies in flavor. Earthy barnyard tones return alongside deeper notes of cacao and coffee. A cinnamon spice, evocative of Red Hots candy, merges with lingering molasses sweetness. The cedar note makes a welcomed return, rounded out by a final touch of toasted rye bread, adding a savory close to the experience.

Throughout the smoke, construction remains excellent with a consistent draw and ample smoke output. The flavor progression is well-balanced, becoming slightly stronger as it develops but never straying from its mellow and approachable nature.The Bentley Green Edition Robusto stands out as a smooth, flavorful cigar suitable for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers alike. This is a cigar worth revisiting.
