Pléiades is a relatively new brand (created in 1984) that was discontinued shortly after the 90's cigar boom. Today, the Altadis protégé is back with a regular line and a special XX Anniversary blend. This blend was a limited edition in the beginning (2004, only the grand robusto vitola was available) but as it has encountered great success, it became a line on its own. Manufactured at La Tabacalera de Garcia in the Dominican Republic under the supervision of José Seijas, they are now available in 4 more classic formats, progressively introduced: petit robusto, corona, robusto and belicoso. In this review, we are looking at the 5 x 50 robusto.
