Description
Blue Mountain Cigars makes the Blue Mountain Blanton Bourbon Robusto in a 5 x 50 size, finishing it with a dip the company credits to Blanton’s bourbon and rating it mild to medium. Blue Mountain lists Habano as the wrapper, while our product record puts Nicaraguan Habano in all three tobacco roles.
What It Tastes Like
No critic or trade outlet has published a tasting of this robusto that we could locate, and the maker’s page lists no flavor notes. The spirit in the title is the main clue: Wikipedia describes Blanton’s as a single-barrel bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, introduced in 1984. How much of it reaches the smoke is undocumented.
Who It’s For
- Bourbon enthusiasts who want a cigar themed around a single-barrel Kentucky label.
- Smokers easing into cigars, given the maker’s mild-to-medium rating.
- Short-break smokers who would choose a 5-inch robusto over the 6 x 52 Toro.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Flavoring tied to one named bourbon in the maker’s title
- Lighter strength, rated mild to medium by Blue Mountain
- Compact 5 x 50 format that fits a shorter smoke
Cons
- Unreviewed and unscored by independent outlets so far
- Blue Mountain’s page omits the binder, filler, release year and dipping method
- Not for smokers who prefer untreated leaf
