Undercrown Shade Robusto
family. Robusto: Format and Comparisons Shade Robusto is the 5 × 54 format in Undercrown’s Shade family. Corona Doble shares its diameter and adds two inches of length. Gran Toro is longer than Robusto at six inches, yet marginally narrower at 52 ring. Drew Estate positions Shade as a creamier development of the original Undercrown story and classifies the family as medium-bodied. The Maduro Robusto is also 5 × 54. UC 10 and El Tigre Dominicano Robustos are both 5 × 50, showing why the full expression name matters even when the format name stays the same.
