Created in 1997 to honor the family whose plantation produced the finest cigar wrappers in the world, Habano’s Vegas Robaina Unicos are the most intriguing Pyramides anywhere in the world.
They are quite possibly the most complete and desirable Pyramides on the market, a true connoisseurs choice redolent of traditional Cuban techniques.
The Unicos, although milder than other torpedoes out of Habanos, are incredibly complex. The medium-bodied flavor profile offers a tantalizing journey ranging from floral notes to baking spices.
Vegas Robaina Unicos Overview
Unico means unique in Spanish, and the lively blend of Vuelta Abajo long filler and a deep chocolate truffle-like wrapper, give you a Pyramide smoke like no other.
At 6.1” and with a hefty 52 ring gauge, the Unico offers the perfect balance of spice and roasted coffee beans, with a backdrop of sweet mocha and oak. These cigars are best when paired with aged spirits like a good Armagnac.
Smoking a Vegas Robaina Unicos
A Unico is perfectly constructed, firm, and springy to the touch. It has a beautiful milk-chocolate color with a slight buttery sheen. Vegas Robaina is responsible for growing the finest wrapper tobacco on the planet and there’s luxury to how this cigar feels in your hand.
Pre-draw flavors are prominently leather and wood. The cigar lights well and burns evenly throughout.
The first third produces lots of white, billowy smoke and reveals creaminess with hints of soil and chocolate. The middle third has even more smoke, and all the creamy, leathery, spicy, and sweet flavors come to the forefront.
The cigar finishes with a flourish with a note of soft walnut wood and cereal. The whole heady experience takes up to two hours.
Cigar Value
The Vegas Robaina Unico is the natural progression for lovers of the Montecristo No. 2 with its delightful flavors of cream and leather with sweet undertones. It also has a similar price point, making it a great choice if you can’t get hold of the more popular Montecristo brand. This cigar grows in complexity in your humidor, so the longer you keep it in there, the more the flavors blossom in intricacy.
Vegas Robaina Unicos Experience
The Unico’s tasty core of spiciness doesn’t overwhelm the flavor palate, with nutty creaminess overlaying the whole experience. Unicos are exceptional cigars that only improve with age and are valuable contributions to any aficionado’s humidor.
