Description
The Stolen Throne Yorktown Fleet Robusto is a 5 x 50 cigar built around a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, which Stolen Throne calls Sumatra Maduro, over a Nicaraguan binder and filler. halfwheel’s 2023 launch coverage says the company has it made at the Rojas Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
What It Tastes Like
A dated, scored review of the robusto has yet to appear, though halfwheel did review the 6 x 50 box-pressed torpedo from the same blend, noting espresso, cream, pepper and cinnamon early, creamy cedar through the middle, and dark chocolate leading the last third. Stolen Throne’s own description lists espresso, dark fruit, chocolate and red spice.
Who It’s For
- Robusto smokers who want this blend in five inches.
- Fans of darker Sumatra wrappers looking for sweetness set against some spice.
- Patient smokers willing to keep a slow pace, since halfwheel found the blend turns harsh when rushed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- halfwheel reported excellent burn, draw and smoke output on all three torpedos it smoked
- One filler ligero comes from a Nicaraguan growing region the company had not used before, per halfwheel
- Part of a regular-production line rather than a one-time release
Cons
- Neither Yorktown Fleet size has a dated independent score that we could find
- halfwheel’s reviewer found the first third of the torpedo fairly plain
About the Yorktown Fleet Line
Stolen Throne showed Yorktown Fleet at the 2023 PCA trade show and started shipping it to shops later that year, per halfwheel. The name honors the company’s newer headquarters in Yorktown, Virginia, where Cornwallis surrendered to Washington in 1781.
