Tasting Notes

• Cedar – Clean, steady backbone

• Toasted Bread – Warm, mild sweetness

• White Pepper – Soft spice through retrohale

• Earth – Light and uncomplicated

First Impressions

Call to Arms Robusto shows a smooth, light-to-medium brown Sumatra wrapper with minimal veins and tidy seams. Pre-light aromas are cedar, bread crust, and faint sweetness. Cold draw is perfect — open but controlled, with mild spice.

Smoking Experience

• First Third – Cedar and toasted bread open the profile. Pepper arrives gently, burn line clean.

• Second Third – Earth develops but flavor stays very steady, with little evolution. Smoke texture stays light and clean.

• Final Third – Pepper rises slightly, cedar returns as the dominant note. Still enjoyable but remains one-dimensional to the end.

Pairings

• Alcohol – Mars Shinshu Iwai Whisky (Japan), soft caramel, orchard fruit, and mild oak brightening the cigar’s simple cedar-bread profile.

• Tea – Tanzanian Usambara Black Tea, smooth and floral with gentle sweetness to lift the cigar’s mild earthy core.

Music Pairing

“Groovin’” – UB40

Warm and easy, enhancing the cigar’s mild sweetness.

Final Thoughts

The Stolen Throne Call to Arms Robusto is clean, balanced, and easygoing, with cedar and toasted notes leading from start to finish. Enjoyable and well-made, but lacking transitions or deeper complexity.

Final Score: 8/10
Why not a 10?
Solid construction and pleasant flavor, but too one-dimensional and lacking evolution.

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