The AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Habano Robusto is the cigar with the shorter smoking time if compared to the other three vitolas in the Habano line. They come in 10-count boxes. The blend changes quite a lot compared to the Maduro version of the line. The Habano is easily recognizable due to its red and golden labels.
The cigars are dressed up in a Colorado leaf. They are well box-pressed, and the overall construction is flawless.

AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Habano Robusto: the cold draw reveals scents of earth. The opening brings to the palate notes of spices and undergrowth.
The first third delivers a mix of hazelnut and earth. The spices, mainly black pepper, are confirmed. The strength is a little above the medium (3.5/5).
The middle thirds confirm the black pepper, now flanked by wood and wood resin. The strength doesn’t change (3.5/5).
In the last third, earth and wood keep on alternating. The strength stays constant as well (3.5/5) for a well-balanced finale.
Overall, the AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Habano Robusto is a cigar with an excellent balance and a perfect construction and burn line. The flavor profile is limited in terms of the number of flavors and evolution, making it static. However, it is still quite an enjoyable smoke.
