This is a big brother of the Gran Habano Corojo #5 Rothschild 4.5x50 that KC reviewed early on in this series. He gave the Rothschild an 85.25.
I picked up a box of the Gran Robusto's without trying one first. These are (should be) identical in composition and construction excepting the size.

Like it's little brother the Gran Robusto has a satin smooth, dark reddish wrapper that is very inviting. It appears to be a top-shelf stick. I generally put a new order in the humi for a week before smoking. I couldn't wait so I busted out a stick right after dinner on the same day they arrived.
Toasting took some time. It was stubborn to get aglow, but did saturate the air with an appetizing aroma that only toasting can achieve.
Like the Rothschild it is a full-bodied blend of Costa Rican and Nicaraguan longfillers, with a Nicaraguan binder and Corojo wrapper.
The smoke is thick and creamy, well balanced but complex in flavor and undoubtedly full bodied. I would not be able to smoke this cigar in the morning or even mid-day. It's definitely an after-dinner pleasure.
Around half-way I decided that this cigar was definitely a blood relative of the Rothschild and pretty much mirrors all the good things KC had to say about it.
It's just bigger. In this case, bigger is not better but equal. It burned a little longer but not evenly. This could have been due to a moisture imbalance from shipping. Anyway I've got 19 more attempts to get it right.
Value wise, it's a good deal at only $10 more per box than the Rothschild. That's 50 cents per stick for a cigar that's about 25% larger.
For me I don't think they will replace the Rothschild which has been a favorite of mine for some time, but if you like a bigger size it's just as good.

On a scale of 1-10 I rate this cigar 8.5
