The Charatan Maduro Robusto is a rich and satisfying Nicaraguan cigar created for smokers who enjoy deeper, darker flavours while still wanting the smooth and approachable character for which Charatan is known.
Handmade in Nicaragua, this classic 5" x 52 Robusto features a dark Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. Medium to full in strength, it delivers approximately 50 minutes of enjoyment, with rich notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, earth and warming spice.
The Charatan story began in 1863, when Frederick Charatan opened his tobacco shop in Mansell Street, London.
Over more than 160 years, Charatan became an established name within British tobacco culture, with its cigar range developing a particularly strong following among UK smokers.
In 2018, production of Charatan cigars moved to Joya de Nicaragua, Nicaragua's oldest cigar factory. This brought together Charatan's distinctive British heritage with generations of Nicaraguan cigar-making expertise.
The result is a range of premium handmade cigars designed specifically with the British cigar smoker in mind while maintaining an accessible price point.
The Charatan Maduro is the darkest and richest expression within the Charatan range.
Its character comes from a beautifully dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper, grown in Mexico's renowned San Andrés Valley. Through careful fermentation and ageing, the tobacco develops its distinctive dark appearance along with the richness and natural sweetness associated with quality Maduro wrappers.
The word Maduro means "mature" or "ripe" in Spanish – an appropriate name for a cigar built around carefully matured tobacco.
Beneath the wrapper sits a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan filler, adding body, spice and depth to the blend.
Medium to full in strength, the Charatan Maduro Robusto provides considerably more richness than the milder Charatan Claro while remaining balanced and approachable.
Expect notes of:
The cigar opens with cocoa, cedar and earthy tobacco before deeper notes of dark chocolate and coffee begin to develop. Gentle pepper and warming spice add further complexity, while the Maduro wrapper contributes a subtle natural sweetness that rounds out the richer Nicaraguan character.
The result is a bold but well-balanced smoke that should appeal both to experienced Maduro smokers and those looking to explore a richer cigar for the first time.
At 5" x 52, the Charatan Maduro uses the ever-popular Robusto format, providing plenty of smoke and flavour without requiring the time commitment of a larger Toro or Churchill.
Allow approximately 50 minutes to enjoy the cigar, making it particularly well suited to a relaxed evening, after dinner or alongside a good coffee.
Available at Buster Cigars | Online Tobacconist UK, the Charatan Maduro Robusto is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to move towards a darker, richer cigar without jumping into something excessively powerful. With its combination of Mexican San Andrés Maduro and Nicaraguan tobacco, it delivers plenty of chocolatey richness, coffee, earth and spice in a cracking 50-minute smoke.
