Nica Rustica Shade Short Robusto
Short Robusto: Format and Comparisons Nica Rustica Shade Short Robusto is a 4 1/2 × 50 cigar. Shade Toro keeps the 50 ring gauge and adds 1 1/2 inches. Shade Gordo is only half an inch longer than Short Robusto but substantially wider at 66 ring. The Shade recipe uses Ecuador Connecticut Shade wrapper, Mexican binder and Nicaraguan, American and Dominican fillers. Drew Estate classifies the expression as mellow. Broadleaf Short Robusto matches the 4 1/2 × 50 measurements, making it the closest size comparison in another Nica Rustica family.
