Brand History
The Cohiba brand was founded in 1966.
Launched in 1992, the Siglo range was released to commemorate Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas. Called Línea 1492, the initial launch included the Siglo I, Siglo II, Siglo III, Siglo IV and Siglo V, with the Siglo IV added later in 2002.
Unique to the Cohiba brand, the tobacco used goes through a third fermentation process. This is to help smooth out the contegeirs in the Cigar, resulting in a smoother smoke.

Robusto
Released in 1989, the Cohiba Robusto fulfills the demand for stouty, thick ring gauged Cigars that were beginning to pick up in popularity in the late 80's and early 90's. As with all Cohiba's, the Robustos is the most expensive Robusto on the market.
Steve's Opinions
When it comes to Robusto sized Cigars, Cuba has plenty to offer, and it would have been a crime for Cohiba not to have this vitola as part of it's lineup. However, competition is fierce amongst brands, so when it comes to the Cohiba Robusto, for the price premium, you expect the Cigar to tick all the boxes.
I have found the Cohiba Robusto to go in and out of fashion over the last five to ten years. You would have expected such a Cigar, with the price premium, to be consistently exceptional, however the quality seems to dip slightly from time to time. Not due to construction however, but due to quality of flavours and blends.
With other Robustos such as the Bolivar Royal Corona, Ramon Allones Specially Selected & Partagas Serie D No. 4 being consistently high quality and at a much more reasonable price range, it's very difficult for me to suggest the Cohiba Robusto to anyone other than someone who has Cohiba as their goto Cigar.
