I had high hopes for the Don Carlos Personal Reserve Robusto, not only because of the pedigree, but also because the Don Carlos Eye of the Shark had performed so well. If I could judge the cigar on just the first third, it might have reached the same heights, but unfortunately the next two thirds just didn’t measure up the same.

So with the way the 80th birthday celebration cigars are priced, I wouldn’t shy away from trying the Personal Reserve Robusto for yourself, but it might be better to just pick up the cheaper Don Carlos Eye of the Shark, that is if you can find either.
