They quickly became my favorite, particularly the old Robusto Grande: hearty and rich like a steak with a slight finish of cappuccino. As quality deteriorated, I reluctantly left them out of my repertoire and so was glad to see them return after the Somoza/Sandinista period. I can’t say I’m as enthusiastic about the Antaño as the originals, but I do still occasionally enjoy the Robusto Grande. And I always have a few Machitos in my box for a quick smoke.
