Uncle Paulie’s Deli Cigar – The Good Morning Robusto

Start your day with the thoughtfully crafted Uncle Paulie’s Deli Cigar, affectionately nicknamed The Good Morning. This 5×50 Robusto delivers a delightful blend of flavors that make it the ideal companion for your morning coffee or tea. Handcrafted by Jochy Blanco at Tabacalera Palma in the Dominican Republic, this cigar is a celebration of premium craftsmanship and unique taste.

Description

Tasting Notes:
On the body, I detect oats, sweet tobacco, and rich half-and-half cream. The foot reveals notes of red wine vinegar and dried peach, adding a tangy, fruity aroma. The cold draw offers flavors of Cheerios, apricot tea, dried fruits, and sweet grass, setting the stage for a complex and nuanced experience.

First Third:
The initial puffs deliver honey nut Cheerios, amaretto, green tea, and a touch of white pepper. Roasted nuts, sweet creamy smoke, and a buttery texture round out the profile. Surprisingly, the usual bitterness associated with Connecticut shade cigars is completely absent—a testament to its refined construction. Truly impressive from the start.

Second Third:
Hints of florals emerge, paired with sweet croissant, creamy smoke, and a buttery mouthfeel. The oats and grain notes continue to shine, complemented by a subtle citrusy sparkle reminiscent of Sprite. The balance and complexity are remarkable.

Final Third:
The final third evolves into warmer, rounder flavors. Almond reappears alongside buttered toast, with notes of lemongrass citrus and floral undertones. The experience concludes with flavors reminiscent of chai tea, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and sophistication. If I didn’t know better, I’d think I was smoking a Cuban cigar in this final act.


Pairing Notes:
This cigar shines when paired with:

  • Morning Beverages: Coffee all day (hence “The Good Morning”), tea with honey, or an espresso with sugar and a twist of lemon rind.
  • Brunch Staples: After a breakfast of pancakes or French toast.
  • Savory Meals: Pair it with an Italian sandwich or a BLT—Uncle Paulie’s makes the best BLT in Los Angeles.
  • Sweet Treats: Caramel or white chocolate desserts, or even after a bowl of cereal.
  • Alcoholic Pairings: Brandy, bourbon, dry white wine, or a pilsner beer.
  • Soft Drinks: Cream or root beer soda.

    One of the finest Connecticuts I have ever smoked, perfect in every way when you are looking for a casual light smoke. Looking forward to the day when they offer boxes. Please don’t ever discontinue this one.

    By far one of my favorite morning to noontime cigars. The the creamy, bread and honey I get from this cigar paired with an espresso with lemon will make your day a better day.

    Fantastic. I had the Robusto. This blend is special. Perfect draw, perfect burn, well balanced flavors. This cigar will pair with anything or stand alone. I want boxes. This is a great purchase.

    An absolutely fantastic smoke, lots of flavour and complexity throughout, but everything in a measured way, subtle, classy and flawless. Will defintiely be buying again as long as they stay available.

    I cannot buy enough of these. This cigar is a treat from start to finish. Pre-cut wetting is like tasting a million dollar candy bar, honey sweet. Always an even burn and one of the few cigars that I’ll keep lit until my fingers burn. When I’m not smoking it, I’m smelling it – everything about this cigar is fantastic.

    Awesome smoke. Creamy, smooth, great burn. I’m going to keep a couple of these in the humidor at all times.

    Coffee, cream, touch of sweetener, such as honey, a “Paulie”, and you’ve created the makings of an experience you will crave as I have for going on for two years. Nothing better!

    Great light smoke for early morning or first cigar for the day, i never smoke Connecticut cigars or rare if i do. These are amazing and good flavor profile. Creamy perfect with a coffee to enjoy the day or working outside, quick smoke 45 mins to 1 hour

    This gem is not to be missed, possibly the most complex and flavorful Connecticut I’ve ever had.
