RobustoI was anticipating smoking this cigar and trying to figure out how I was going to achieve this...JR Cigar to the rescue with a great 25 count sampler, including this Devocion ...The sampler gave me 5 different blends ! The cigar itself, looked great, a dryish wrapper...The cigar burned straight and true...The flavor was spot on for me...The wrapper pushes this into the full range...All over, another hit from Groupo ...451

RobustoHonestly, I probably should try to smoke one or two more before reviewing... but if I get a better stick next time I'll write another review.
This cigar showed so much promise but it totally bombed. Lit unevenly, wrapper cracked within a minute, and then unforunately it would not stay lit. The draw was also way too loose... Tons of tunneling. Then, out of desperation I decided to cut the damn thing in half to start fresh.... same thing. After 20 minute I just gave up.
I'm not sure if it was the cigar or the quality from JR so I'm a bit hesitant to rate this so low. Like I said, I'm going to smoke a couple more and hope for the best. It showed a lot of promise and it's not exactly cheap.
I have a request to JR to replace or credit since the cigar was a total bust. Hoping that will ease the pain. Really put a bummer on my afternoon.151

RobustoUnfortunately the first one I smoked was an absolute disaster in every way. But the second one was basically perfect. So not sure what that says about consistency but lets assume the first one was a fluke:
The size, flavor, and aroma is just perfect. Draw was good and construction was good. Even burn for the most part with a few touch ups.
There is also a nice surprise when it comes time to take the band off. I won't spoil it but it was a nice touch.451

RobustoI really like this cigar, however, multiple burn issues make it a no go. I bought two boxes, one robusto and one toro…every cigar tunnels even after months in the humidor. The humidor has several hundred smokes in there that do not have issues.
A real shame.251

RobustoI absolutely love these cigars. I got mine with the Romeo and Montecristo Variety Pack, and had no issues with burn or wrapper. These were the best of the bunch as far as even burn, and my personal favorite so far of all the cigars I've smoked. The flavor is so good. Wish I could afford the box, but I would gladly buy another Variety Pack just for five more of these.551

RobustoGot these in a Romeo y Monte sampler. One split after about five minutes, the others were flawless. Good smokes, would probably buy a fiver to try again.451

Romeo y Julieta Devocion Robusto is an elegant handmade premium cigar that belongs in every smoker’s humidor. Why you ask? Because this top-shelf 5 x48 Robusto, along with the rest of this line, is a collaboration between Rafael Nodal, the Head of Product Capability for Altadis U.S.A., and the company’s famed Grupo de Maestros. Devocion is expertly hand rolled at AUSA’s prestigious Flor de Copan factory in Honduras with a flawless Ecuadorian Habano wrapper paired with aged Dominican pilotico and Honduran filler leaves layered inside a tasty American binder. The end result is a medium bodied smo...ke that provides rich, complex flavors of black pepper, leather, coffee, hints of cinnamon, and just the perfect touch of sweetness. Devocion is the Spanish word for devotion, and it was the devotion of not just the Grupo de Maestro’s and the rest of the AUSA team, but also the cigar smoking community at large, that inspired the name for this exquisite premium blend. We are very proud to be the sole providers of these decadent new gems from Romeo, and we have no doubt that they will provide you with many hours of pure cigar smoking enjoyment! Order a surprisingly affordable box of 20 from JR Cigar now!
