The Fat Bottom of the Drew Estate Part of the well-known "Deadwood" collection, Betty Robusto is renowned for its unusual combination of exotic, fragrant tobaccos and a noticeably sweetened cap. It is frequently characterised as a smooth, accessible cigar with a medium-to-full flavour.

Special Feature: This cigar's distinctive sweetened tip gives the lips a dessert-like texture during smoking.

Avoid: dry gin and peaty scotch: The aromatic sweetness of this particular blend tends to conflict sharply with the botanical/pine notes of gin or the medicinal smoke of Islay scotches (like Laphroaig).

First Third: Sweet Spice & Dessert
Primary Notes: The lips are dominated by a strong sugar cane sweetness from the cap. You get creamy vanilla and rich milk chocolate on the mouth.
Accents: A floral, pipe tobacco-like scent and hints of baking spices (nutmeg and cinnamon).
Retrohale: Very smooth, with no pepper sting and a hint of cocoa.

Second third: Rich Coffee & Earth.

Primary Notes: The tobacco shines through as the sweetness of the cap starts to wane. Dark chocolate, earth, and roasted coffee bean notes emerge.
Accents: A creamy texture and a faint dark fruit note (such as raisins or black cherry) appear.
Evolution: The profile changes from "candy-like" to a richer, more conventional Maduro experience.

Last Third: Dark Cocoa & Oak
Primary Notes: Toasted wood, leather, and bittersweet cocoa have mostly taken the place of the sweetness.
Accents: To counterbalance the previous sweetness, a little black pepper spice eventually emerges on the tongue and in the retrohale.
Finish: Clean and fragrant, with a lingering espresso and charred wood flavour.
