Don Roque Cigar ReviewsSee store reviews

Don Roque Cigars – A Pleasant Surprise I came across Don Roque cigars after entering a drawing for a $1,200 humidor. Not long after that, I received an offer for “premium” cigars if I covered the shipping, which came out to about seven dollars. For seven bucks, I figured why not. A few days later the package showed up with three Don Roque Robustos and five Sumatra High Noon Dragons. Like any cigars that come through the mail, I let them sit in the humidor for about a week before touching them...

I was fortunate to buy the Sumatra High Noon Dragon. I couldn’t peg the taste, at first, but it was hard to peg due to the flavor changes along the way. The whole cigar was so smooth with excellent smoke and excellent pull. I never had to relight it. The first third I thought almost had a Fuente Hemingway taste; however, the next third came, and I was very gladly surprised by the peppery notes I had. Through the first two thirds, there were definite notes of a buttery draw. Last third was defi...

Mild but pleasant flavor. Just enough backbone to have some presence. Very nice cold draw and delicious aroma unlit. Creamy and generous smoke volume. Sharp burn line, good draw. Solid ash, long and holding, mottled grey and black in color. creamy and faintly nutty. Satisfying volume of rich smoke. Nice lingering finish, slight green tea like culinary bitterness on the palate with a touch of balancing sweetness. The body ramps up as the cigar progresses to more of a medium strength. An elegant s...

Superb stick. Nice pre light aroma, savory and woodsy. On the first light, lots of pepper and spice especially on the retrohale with undertones of earthy chocolate. I get notes of savory roasted mushroom and pepper spice which settles down quite a bit in the first third to a very pleasant balance. At the end of the first third, more woodsiness emerges and just a hint of dark cherry. The undertone of earthy baker's chocolate continues and contributes a lovely balancing sweetness. Reminds me of a ...
