5 1/2 x 54 Robusto Box-press
NOTES:
A handsome cigar with nary a complaint as to its performance. Black pepper'd chocolate, baking spice-cum-mulling spice primarily-speaking. Toasted sweet cream middlings braced by hardwoods. Blackberry, peanut butter, black cherry: hither and thither and somewhat fleetingly, but too offering complexities. Small-ish amount a' notes, but very well explored and nuanced. Smoothly textured, verily balanced. Not intricately transitional, but far from flat.

buy yer own CAO Flathead V554 Camshaft Robusto: from Cigars City.
From the CAO site: "Inspired by hot rods and pin-up girls, CAO Flathead is a box pressed collection that hits on all cylinders. Hand-shaped to deliver a striking flat top, the cigar features a brawny Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and a blend that’s heavy on Nicaraguan leaf. Its frontmarks are named for engine parts, but the tribute to muscle cars doesn’t end there. Flathead gives a nod to the muscle car engine, with a lid that’s easily removed and used as wall art. There’s also a collectible, pin-up girl flysheet that’s enclosed in the box."
