Artista Harvest Robusto is a product launched in 2022 by Artista Cigars, which produces its cigars at Tabacalera El Artista S.R.L. in Tamboril, Dominican Republic.
The Harvest line is available in two formats: a Robusto and a Toro. The blend uses proprietary Dominican tobaccos for the filler, a Cameroon binder, and a Sumatra wrapper. The line is sold in 20-ct boxes.
The cigar is rolled in a slightly opaque wrapper of Maduro shades with brown reflections. To the touch, it is pretty rough with pronounced veins. The cigar comes in an excellently crafted box-pressed shape. The cold draw appears slightly open.

Artista Harvest Robusto: in the cold draw, aromas of damp earth and wood are perceived, with nuances of nuts.
Once lit, it expresses very intense notes of earth, followed by lesser aromas of wood and nuances of coffee. Strength is medium (3/5).
In the central section, the evolution introduces a lively spicy note accompanied by equally intense earthy notes. The strength increases, becoming medium-full (4/5).
In the last third, the cigar does not show any changes compared to the previous third. The strength also remains unchanged (4/5).
Overall, the Artista Harvest Robusto offers a discreet smoke with well-defined and even elegant aromas. However, it suffers from a lack of evolution halfway through the cigar, where one would expect some progression towards the end.
