Silencio Red Dot Robusto Cigar – Single

The Silencio Red Dot Robusto (5 x 54) combines tobaccos from distinct regions. Its dark wrapper originates from Cameroon’s subtropical climate, while the Indonesian Jember binder adds supple texture. Dominican Piloto Cubano filler leaves balance the blend, ensuring a smooth smoke. This configuration reflects decades of refinement since its 1990s redesign.

Flavor Development

Initial draws deliver medium-to-full-bodied smoke with black pepper and oak spice. Mid-profile transitions reveal cedar wood, roasted coffee, and earthy undertones. Hints of semi-sweet cocoa and cream emerge later, tempering the spice without overwhelming the palate.

Construction & Performance

• Combustion: Even burn from cap to foot
• Ash: Dense, white-gray formation
• Draw: Optimized airflow resistance

Pairing Versatility

The Silencio Red Dot Robusto complements barrel-aged spirits. Pair with high-proof bourbon, aged rum, or VSOP cognac to accentuate its cocoa and spice elements. Performs equally well as a standalone after-dinner smoke.
