The Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label Robusto looks like the Cuban classic, though merely a bit darker with a lesser number of veins.

Packed with lots of slightly salty ligero tobacco, Garcia Blue Label Robusto starts out really spicy yet; soon it results in being creamier. The robusto is complex and balanced, and it provides a gratifying, full-bodied taste. When the cigar advances, the spice dies out all together, however the buzz of warm tobacco flavor stays. Furthermore, the finish is noticeably arid and a pinch bitter.

Design was superb with an even burn. The cigar was a little smooth to touch, however it didn’t tend to result in any kind of negative effects.

On the whole, this is really a good quality smoke – like you would expect from Pepin – yet I personally prefer cigars of his other lines. Nevertheless, there is a lot to like within this one should you enjoy full-flavored cigars.

Furthermore, I believe there’s certainly extensive aging potential with this cigar, and kindly note that the samples that were smoked for this review were only aged for a few months. Possibly an extra eight to twelve months of humidor period and Garcia Blue Label Robusto would smoke far better.
