J.L. SALAZAR y HERMANOS Reserva Especial Robusto is a typical Cuban Box-Pressed cigar. The cigars are silky, dark and rich. The master rollers have handmade each Robusto to draw firmly and to burn evenly. The tobacco leaves in the cigars are aged for over three years and specially cured through four fermentations. The Filler is a sun-grown Cuban Seed Habano tobacco from Tabacalera Esteli. The Binder is a wrapper quality Cuban-Seed Habano 2000 leaf and the Wrapper is a flawless Ecuadorian grown Cuban Seed Habano leaf. Each cigar is made in the same old fashioned way that the Salazar Family made them in Cuba. The Robusto cigars are 5½” long and have a large ring gauge of 52.
Since 1810, when the Salazar family settled in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba, they have been growing some of the world’s finest tobacco and handcrafting fine cigars. At 12 noon every day, the 4 Salazar brothers would meet in the porch of elder brother Mario’s house in the farm. Mario would open his burlap bag which contained the finest tobacco leaves of the farm’s harvest. The cured leaves were perfect in looks and taste and were the envy of the other tobacco farmers in Cuba’s prime tobacco growing region. The burlap bag would be passed around and each brother would roll their own Cuban cigars. They would each roll enough cigars for the day’s smoke. Each would have a different preferred cigar size but the blend would always be the same for all four brothers. Mario’s sons, J.L. Salazar and his brothers, have carried on that tradition and special blend of tobacco leaves in these exquisite robusto cigars. These J.L. Salazar y Hermanos Cabinet Selection Robusto cigars are each totally handmade by a master Cuban Cigars roller. They use the secret Salazar Brothers’ blend and only the finest Cuban Seed leaves. The mellow and rich taste is unmatched. After trying these, you too will know why J.L. Salazar and his brothers are so proud of their family’s traditions.
FULL BODIED. Their distinguished complex taste is described as full-bodied with well balanced sweet floral flavors and hints of mild spices, cocoa and coffee.

I have smoked every premium brand out there, including most cubans. This cigar is the best i have ever had. I enjoy trying different cigars, but this will definitely become my standard. The quality is superb. I think your business will grow. Please do not change the quality control you currently have due to increased demand. By the way, your customer service is excellent also. Thanks.
Subject :: Excellent cigar
I lit this up after in the humidor for about a month. I received it as a sampler pack and was pleasantly surprised. A little stronger than i am used to but it was so good i was willing to accept the richer flavor. It burned perfectly right to the end. I even tried letting it sit for about five minutes and still it came right back with a great smoke and taste. I will definitely be ordering more of these...jb
Subject :: Great smoke!
This is my favorite. The flavor is very smooth and the draw is perfect. I usually smoke this one down until it burns my fingers. Awesome.
Subject :: J.l. Sal robusto
I had tried several of these fine cigars from previous samplers and finaly purchased a box. Folks, if you have been reluctant to try this cigar, do not hesitate any longer! An extremely well made cigar with a superb burn and draw! Full-boddied and rich without the bite! Somewhat leathery and spicy with hints of dark chocolate, a very tasty smoke! I have several well-stocked humidors and the humidor i open most often, contains my salazars. I love this cigar! Thanks c.c. David - plano,tx
Subject :: Great smoke!
Thank you for producing such an enjoyable smoke. I got a sampler sent from don kiki and am just finishing up this beautifal robusto.
the ash is a solid white, i finally tipped it after 1 1/2 inches. Draw was absolutely perfect. Burn is straight as an arrow.
this square pressed cigar has a taste that i describe and med-full. Starts out medium and builds to a complex smoke that i loved so much i decided to write review. I buy and smoke anywhere from $30 to $285 a box and these are my new favorite "at any price level"
thanks again, now i gotta go check out for my new box.

Very good. Tastes just like the flier said. So smooth it doesn't seem full bodied to me. Flavor held throughout. I would call mild to medium, yet medium taste.
randy-colo.
Subject :: I love this cigar!
I love it! I can't smoke anything else.
Subject :: salazar robusto
Well made with a goodlooking wrapper. easy draw and a very even long white ash. hotter than the torpedo, due to size, and very peppery in taste. in fact, before lighting i ran it under my nose a few times and my nose began to tingle. if you want a full flavored that is spicey, this one is for you! b. kaekel
Subject :: Best kept secret
Reading about the salazars got my curiousity going. I found them at a local b/m and fired up a robusto, hoping i could "deal with it". ha, what a pleasant surprise! After 3/8" ash formed, all i could say was "wow!". The spicy, almost sweet flavor was consistently smooth down to a nub. In fact, it was so smooth, i thought it was more like a medium in strength, but full flavored. I left the store with the remaining 1/2 box of robustos. Since then, i have been spreading the word to my friends...get some salazars!
Subject :: Great
Just got this cigar in a sampler pack and wowwwww.... what a great one. Chocalate and spice flavors. Smooth and well burning. It packs a great punch and is extremely well made. Sorry to see you're out of stock right now. Hope you are getting more.
Subject :: Burn
Got one of these in the sampler pack that i let sit for about a month before smoking. Started out great. Wonderful taste and aroma, but about a quarter ways through it started burning uneven. Had to relite. Must of got a bad apple. But if it would of burned correctly, this would of been a wonderful cigar. Would like to try another one.
Subject :: Yum!
Used to smoke cigarettes 10 years ago. Sample pack received, lit this up. Half way thru it was like smoking cocoa. Box pressed, dark wrapper, easy draw. Lots of flavor and smoke. I ordered a whole box right after the sample was out. Been enjoying them since. Now the best part, i think, is to use your nose once it is lit. Little whiffs of smoke. It's like toasted chocolate. Aboslutely wonderful!
Subject :: Buenisimo!!!
Let me tell you... that cuban crafters has done it again, i purchased a box of these and a bordeaux case which i was very happy with.... i called about a situation i had and the service in this place is as unbelievable as the products they sell. This j.l. Salazar y hermanos is very good!!!! and lets just say i know a thing or two about a good smoke...
you did it again cuban crafters,
a new loyal customer!!! que viva cuba libre!!!
Subject :: Tried it
Very good, really enjoyed..
Subject :: Jl robusto
Have smoked the jl salazar robusto and the nester reserve robusto. Both are simular and very good everyday smokes. I like the jl a little better. Would like to see these smokes in a five pack. Ringo from mon city
Subject :: Outstanding!
I have been smoking premiums for over 12 years and this is one of the best I''ve had in a long time. I've paid 2-3 times more money for others that could not even compare to the quality, draw, and heavenly aroma of these beauties. As a rule, I'll smoke at least five or six before deciding if a new cigar is a "keeper", but this one had me head over heels in love with it less than halfway through the first one-- and it only got better. It reminds me of why i enjoy them and I'm only sorry i waited so long after finding cuban crafters before trying these. If you like medium to full bodied with complex flavors, this might be your new favorite stick.
i will not let myself run out of these. Thanks to cc and the Salazar family for a superior product. John from texas
Subject :: 3 thumbs up!
After reading all the reviews i finally decided to give these babies a shot. Great taste and nice even burn all the way to the end. I\'ve smoked similar cigars that cost 5 times what the j.l. Salazar y hermanos reserva especials do and i\'ll never spend that much money again. I will be back for more!
Subject :: Ruined for life...
I'm fairly very new at this game and your sampler has thrown me from the frying pan into the fire. I was fine smoking what was admittadly substandard cigars, but now that i know what a premium really tastes like, i can already tell you that going back will be hard. This burned so evenly, tasted so smooth, and with so much flavor. I know that there's still a lot more out there to try, but i know i'll be back for more of these in the very near future. Thank you for letting me know what's still out there. steve - plano, texas (soon to be colorado)
