First Impressions

The Johnny Tobacconaut Robusto has a silky, light-brown wrapper with a clean appearance. Pre-light aromas bring grass, hay, and faint creaminess. Cold draw is smooth with a grassy overtone, hinting at what lies ahead.

Smoking Experience

  • First Third – Cream and hay dominate, with a grassy freshness that feels lively but slightly sharp.

  • Second Third – Cedar and white pepper join, balancing the grassy core with more structure.

  • Final Third – Grassiness returns strongly, cream fades, and pepper rises lightly. The finish is clean but a bit green.

Pairings

  • Alcohol – Glenmorangie Nectar d’Or, with honeyed sweetness and citrus to soften the cigar’s grassy sharpness.

  • Tea – Sencha Green Tea, bright and vegetal, aligning naturally with the grassy profile.

Music Pairing

β€œAll Blues” – Miles Davis,

cool and smooth, contrasting the sharper grassy edge.

Final Thoughts

The Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Robusto is a unique cigar, leaning heavily into grassy and hay-forward flavors with cream and cedar for balance. While flavorful and well-constructed, the grassy sharpness may be divisive.

Final Score: 9/10
Why not a 10?
The grassy character becomes dominant, overshadowing complexity in the final stretch.

Only cigars that deliver flawless draw, balance, flavour evolution, construction and satisfaction get a 10.
