1502 Ruby Robusto Box-Pressed (5×50) – Box of 20

The premium handmade 1502 Ruby Robusto is part of a hot new line of small batch boutique cigars coming from master blender and seasoned tobacco expert Enrique Sánchez. This medium-bodied, yet full flavored smoke was brimming with lush Cuban-style flavors of spice, earth, coffee, cedar, and subtle hints of dried fruit on the finish. A great after dinner smoke!

The 1502 Ruby Robusto Box-Pressed is often cited as the “crowd favorite” of the 1502 portfolio. It occupies the perfect middle ground between the mild-medium Emerald and the intense Black Gold, offering a solid medium-plus strength profile that is rich, spicy, and exceptionally well-balanced.

The “Jewel” of the Collection

The 1502 Ruby Robusto is built around a stunning Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. This dark, reddish-brown leaf is known for its incredible oil content and its ability to bridge the gap between sweet and savory. The box-press finish creates a tighter, more deliberate draw, which prevents the cigar from burning too hot and allows the complex spice notes to develop naturally.

Signature Features: The “Cigar Lock”

True to 1502’s design philosophy, the Ruby features the unfinished foot. This allows you to experience the 100% Nicaraguan binder and filler before the Ecuadorian wrapper joins the party. This “staggered start” provides a fascinating glimpse into the construction of the blend, starting with raw earthy sweetness before exploding into a bouquet of spice and leather.

Flavor Profile: Spice, Wood, and Fruit

The Ruby is characterized by its dynamic and “bright” flavor profile.

• The Start: Initial notes of cedar and white pepper.

• The Core: Development of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a subtle dried-fruit sweetness.

• The Finish: A rich, leathery smoke with a clean, spicy tingle that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
