Nestor Miranda Selection Dominicano Oscuro Robusto Grande - 5.5 X 54. Wrapper -
Dominican Oscuro, Binder - Nicargua, Filler - Nicaragua. This is a very well
balanced and complex cigar that is slightly to the right of medium bodied.

Initial taste of dry oak & leather which quickly becomes a sweet cream, leather,
oak and an underlying spice.

As I continued through the cigar, flavors of sweet cream, leather, spice and oak
remained but now I was getting some notes of nuts as well.

The last third revealed even more complexity. In addtion to the sweet cream,
leather, oak & the underlying spice, I also noticed a consistent earthiness and
some notes of vanilla every now and then. Slight hint of rum flavor as well. Long
finish after each draw of sweet cream and leather.

Construction & burn were good - the wrapper did get a slight crack towards the end
and the burn had to be corrected twice, but that was it. The draw however, was
perfect. Price point on this vitola is approx. $7.50. I have to say that this is
another fantastic, complex and well balanced Nestor Miranda cigar that I once again
have to recommend trying.
 
Nice review Scott! I smoked the lancero recently and described it as smoking a cappuccino. I really liked it alot. I'll have to chase down the robusto.
 
Based on your review of this particular stick AND the Rosado, seems like there really isn't a difference between the two. Personally, I found the two very different from one another.

Binder and filler are the same in both cigars, wrappers are different so there are going to be some of the same flavors but there are differences as noted in my reviews. :)

Thanks Jay! I have tried the Oscuro Lancero and I liked it very much as well. I didn't find it quite as complex as the Robusto Grande but I also found the coffee/cappuccino taste as you mention. :)
