Regius Orchant Seleccion Nicaragua Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Wednesday 12 August, 2026 by Richard

The Regius Orchant Selección Nicaragua Robusto was a cigar made even more memorable by the company in which it was enjoyed. Having the opportunity to smoke it alongside Akhil Kapacee, at the C Gars Leeds sampler event, added an extra dimension to the experience. He came across as a humble, down-to-earth, and light-hearted individual whose genuine passion for cigars was immediately obvious. Rather than focusing on prestige or exclusivity, he spoke enthusiastically about introducing quality cigars to as wide an audience as possible, and that enthusiasm was infectious.
The cigar itself was equally enjoyable. On the cold draw, I picked up notes of cedar, earth, and a subtle natural sweetness. Once lit, it produced thick, creamy smoke with an effortless draw and an even burn that required very little attention. The opening third delivered flavours of toasted wood, soft peppery notes and roasted nuts, creating a balanced medium-bodied profile that was approachable without lacking character.
As the cigar progressed, richer notes of cocoa, leather, and coffee began to emerge, accompanied by a gentle sweetness that tied everything together. The transitions were gradual rather than dramatic, making for a relaxing and consistent smoking experience. Construction remained excellent throughout, with a firm ash and a straight burn line from start to finish.
Looking back, it's difficult to separate the quality of the cigar from the occasion itself. Sharing it with someone so clearly invested in both the craft of cigar making and the enjoyment of those smoking them made the experience all the more rewarding. The Regius Orchant Selección Nicaragua Robusto is a well-balanced, well-constructed cigar that offers plenty of flavour without becoming overpowering, and it's one I would happily revisit.
