Handmade in the Dominican Republic, the Blackbird Crow Robusto is a medium-to-full-bodied boutique cigar renowned for its intricate blend and distinctive dark appearance. It is a part of Blackbird Cigar Co.'s "avian-inspired" line, which was started by expert blender Jonas Santana.

First third: delivering a quick burst of earthy, spicy Mexican San Andres flavour. Very woody and dry.

The "dryness" gives way to a deeper, darker character in the second third. As the smoke gets denser and more "chewy," bitter cocoa and strong coffee aromas take control.

The final third is the most notable part. The lingering spiciness is balanced with a distinct sweetness of creamy peanut butter. This is where the strength peaks and ends very richly.
