Flavor Experience

Pre-Light

Firm and evenly packed. Veiny, lightly oiled wrapper with a clean but slightly rough cap. Cold draw features light grass and soil notes with a slightly tight but manageable draw.

First Third

Begins light-bodied with subtle pepper on the nose and slight bitterness on the palate. Sweetness grows steadily. The smoke is dense and coats the mouth, with ash forming a light grey and holding well.

Second Third

Flavors remain light with added mineral (salt-like) notes. A musty note fades. The nose shows clean spice and underlying sweetness. Burn line is clean, draw remains excellent.

Final Third

Flavor ramp flattens but a burst of cream appears on the palate. Spice lingers in a pleasant, clean way. Final notes include earth, leather, and wood. The cigar finishes solidly medium-bodied with aromatic smoke and flawless construction throughout.

Final Thoughts

Conor McGregor’s Notorious Cigars Double Robusto delivers a steady, medium-bodied experience that builds to a flavorful and satisfying finale. The draw and burn are impeccable, and while the flavor transitions are subtle, the final third makes a strong impression with layered notes of cream, spice, and wood. A premium cigar that lives up to its bold branding and $14 price point.
