Description
Measuring 5 inches by a 52 ring, the Hooten Young 2020 Selection Robusto rolls Nicaraguan-grown binder and filler beneath dark San Andrés maduro from Mexico, per Hooten Young. The veteran-run whiskey and cigar company offers the 2020 Selection in just two sizes, this robusto and a 6 x 54 toro.
What It Tastes Like
Hooten Young itself supplies the flavor picture, since our research found no independent tasting notes on this robusto. Its product page points to espresso, earth and spice, crediting the earthier, sweeter side to filler from Ometepe, the volcanic island in Lake Nicaragua, alongside aged Estelí and Jalapa ligero. The maker’s spec list rates the body full while its description says medium to full; our listing sits at medium-full.
