Lampert – El Gringo Robusto 5 x 50 (10-stick box) is a Robusto-format cigar from Lampert’s Oro line, presented in a hinged box of 10 cigars. The vitola measures 5 inches by a 50 ring gauge, making it a classic medium-length, medium-girth format aimed at a balanced, approachable smoking profile. [lampertcigars.com], [lampertcigars.us]
The blend uses a two-year-aged Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, a three-year-aged Ecuadorian binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Peru, including five-year-aged Peruvian Pelo d’Oro. Lampert states that the updated El Gringo keeps the same blend as the Don Patron and is produced by Tabacos de Costa Rica as a regular-production cigar. [lampertcigars.com]
In terms of flavor profile, retailer and product descriptions consistently position El Gringo as a creamy, aromatic, mild-to-medium-bodied smoke. Reported tasting notes start with grassy and spicy aromas, then build into woody, nutty, and more roasted flavorstoward the finish. [sirlouiscigars.com], [housecigarx.com]
From a packaging and market-positioning standpoint, this is a 10-count boxed Robusto intended as an easy-entry premium cigar with a Connecticut-style profile rather than a heavy, full-bodied blend. Lampert’s wholesale listing shows the El Gringo Robusto in a hinged box of 10, while the brand’s 2023 release note listed an MSRP of $13 per cigar at launch. [lampertcigars.us], [lampertcigars.com]
