BOXED PETIT ROBUSTOS AND PIRAMIDES SELECTIONS
FROM CUBA
Relatively new from Cuba are these two exclusive selections of great cigars:
Cohiba – Made from a selection of the best tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region, Cohiba’s special third fermentation process gives it a unique aroma and flavour. It is the flagship brand of Cuba.
Montecristo – The best known and probably the most appreciated Cuban brand, its distinctive medium to full flavour forms for many Cuban cigar smokers the benchmark against which other brands are judged.
Romeo y Julieta – The balanced and aromatic blend make it the classic medium-bodied Cuban cigar.
Partagas – Immediately recognised by its deep character and rich earthy flavour.
Hoyo de Monterrey – The flavour of this blend makes it an attractive choice for those who seek a delicate yet aromatic Cuban cigar that is lighter to the taste but with great elegance and complexity.
Certain of the sizes are not available in any other packing – for example, Montecristo classic Robusto, Cohiba Torpedo.
Petit Robusto Selection 10 cigars (90mm x Ring 50) - 5 Brands
In South Africa, since before the 1970’s, the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 has been revered as the ultimate smoke. This popularity was created purely by the dimensions of the cigar, not necessarily by the blend or taste. The attractions are the easy draw, the volume of smoke with each puff, and the slow development of the full flavour of the blend. This size (also called Rothschild) is still one of the most popular in any brand in which it is made – Cuban and non-Cuban.
But today, because time is often short, there is a demand for a shorter version of the Robusto – a Petit Robusto.
Length 90mm x Ring 50.
Previously when you wanted a short smoke, the half corona or petit corona was the answer – Ringsize 40/42. (The Petit Corona Montecristo No.4, is the biggest-selling single Cuban cigar.)
The dilemma was that a thick cigar was what the smokers wanted.
How to make shorter cigars with such large ring gauge?
In 2004 the first shorter version of the classic Robusto was presented to the market by Hoyo de Monterrey – the Petit Robusto (102mm x Ring 50).
It was successful. The smoking time of 25-30 minutes was good, but it lacked something.
That “something” was the requirement of a modified blend to develop the flavour fully in the shorter time.
It couldn’t be just a cut down version of the Epicure No 2.
The blends in today’s Petit Robustos are created to develop the full flavour over the shorter length, allowing a satisfying smoke to develop in the shorter time available.

NOT AVAILABLE AT PRESENT
Piramides Selection 6 cigars (156mm x Ring 52) - 6 Brands

This shape, broad at the burning area and tapering to a comfortable ringsize for the mouth, has long been revered as the ultimate in Cigars – rare, but a superb smoke.
It has always been understood that the cigar is technically difficult to roll. The basic difficulty comes in tapering the 50 ring size foot down to a pointed head without interfering with the free flowing draw. Only the most highly skilled rollers can achieve this - hence the scarcity of the cigar.

A Note
on Smoking Cigars
For all cigar smoking the rule is: sip the cigar, like a wine-tasting,
roll the smoke around in your mouth to savour the flavour, then
gently let it out. If you draw too fast the smoke becomes hot
and bitter. A cigar that has gone out can simply be re-lit. Cigars
do not contain additives to keep them burning so if/when your
cigar goes out, gently tap off the loose ash, blow through to
expel stale smoke, re-light and continue to enjoy it.
A cigar can be "doggy-bagged". Allow it to go out, then
cut off the ash end (about 1cm, for cleanliness) and store in
a glass tube until you are ready for it. Blow through before re-lighting
to expel stale smoke.
