Factory Smokes Shade Robusto
Robusto: Format and Comparisons Shade Robusto is the 5 × 54 format in Factory Smokes Shade. Toro increases length to six inches and reduces ring gauge to 52. Gordito is a broader 6 × 60, and Churchill is the longer, slimmer 7 × 50. Connecticut Shade wrapper, Indonesian binder and Central American fillers establish the expression. Drew Estate classifies Shade as mellow. The 5 × 54 Robusto size also appears in Maduro, Sun Grown and Sweet, allowing a comparison across expressions without changing the dimensions.
