What This Cigar Is
The Short Robusto offers a manageable yet satisfying smoke: 4 inches long (roughly 4.75″) with a 52 ring gauge — an ideal size for those who want a robust, full-bodied experience without the hours-long commitment of a larger format. It’s fully handmade, long-filler, boutique cigar, combining a natural Ecuador Habano wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos grown, fermented, and rolled by Aganorsa Leaf on their Estelí plantations.

Origin, Brand & Craftsmanship
Aganorsa Leaf is one of the most acclaimed boutique tobacco growers and manufacturers outside of Cuba — known for cultivating Cuban-seed tobaccos under Nicaraguan soil, producing wrappers, binders, and fillers that yield complex, rich, and balanced profiles. Cigar Century+1 The “Lunatic” line was conceived to showcase these tobaccos in bold formats — yet the Short Robusto proves moderation can still deliver power and nuance. Cigar Aficionado+1
Each Short Robusto is hand-rolled at the Agronorsa factory, using traditional bunching and rolling methods. The Ecuador Habano wrapper is aged until smooth, adding natural sweetness and nuanced aroma to the rich Nicaraguan long-filler blend underneath.
Flavor Profile & Smoking Experience
Expect a sophisticated yet approachable medium-to-full bodied smoke that evolves beautifully from first light to nub. Typical tasting notes experienced by seasoned smokers include:
-
Roasted nuts (cashew, walnut)
-
Dark coffee / espresso
-
Earth / cedar / charred wood
-
Baking spice, subtle pepper
-
Light sweet maple or caramel undertones
-
Toast and cocoa / subtle chocolate warmth
In many reviews, the first third opens with nutty and coffee-forward tones. As it progresses, earth, wood, and spice deepen, while a lingering sweetness and subtle cocoa or maple emerge during the finish. Cigar Aficionado+2Oxford Cigar Company+2 Retrohale often brings a gentle peppery kick, enhancing complexity for more seasoned palates. Cigar World+1
The strength sits squarely in medium-to-full, offering enough gravitas for an experienced smoker but maintaining balance that makes it accessible for regular enjoyment. Cigars+1 Smoke is smooth and consistent, with impressive construction for its price point — even burn line, reliable draw, and respectable smoke output. Neptune Cigar+1

Storage, Humidor & Aging Advice
Store at 65–69% relative humidity and around 65–70°F (18–21°C). The Short Robusto’s Habano wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers respond well to proper humidity — aging for 1–2 years in a well-maintained humidor tends to deepen sweetness, soften spice edges, and enrich the coffee–cedar–earth complexity.

Aficionados looking for a reliable daily or frequent cigar with depth
-
Medium-to-full bodies who want complexity in a shorter format
-
Lounge owners stocking a balanced, affordable, high-quality stick
-
Gift buyers seeking a sophisticated, easy-to-share cigar
