Whether you know it or not, Jim Robinson has slowly been edging his way into your humidor over the last few years…
Does the name ring a bell? No? Well how about Island Jim - as he’s better known in the cigar world. The man has been the proprietor at Leaf & Bean cigar shop for years, but has been steadily working his way into the premium cigar biz’ over the last few years. First appearing as one of Eddie Ortega’s larger-than-life Wild Bunch cigar characters, Jim then partnered with Oscar Valladares for the ultra-boutique, fan-favorite, LEAF by Oscar cigars.
But Jim’s latest offering features a look more akin to his notoriously eccentric/colorful “Key West” vibe. Introducing the Island Jim # TWO - a cigar nearly as unconventional as its own creator. Why the odd name? Because the cigar is shaped like a No. 2 pencil, of all things! The cigar’s shaggy foot leads a dark and oily wrapper down to an intricately shaped torpedo head - which utilizes a strip of Connecticut shade wrapper (carved wood) and finishes with a near-black oscuro leaf at the point (your pencil’s lead). But it’s not all for show - Island Jim # TWO allows for different flavor experiences for the user. Cut the “lead tip” and allow the creamy nuances of the Connecticut wrapper to impart a subtle, tea-like sweetness to the smoke. Then change it up and cut off the Connecticut tip for a more rich and hearty experience. Talk about form AND function!

Great cigar by “Island Jim” Robinson and Oscar Valladares, the ugly unfinished foot and double wrapped cap provide an interesting cigar with wonderful flavors and lots of smoke. I always have these in my humidor.

I added this one to a custom sampler because being a parrot head I liked the Island Vibe it was marketed to. This cigar is a unique one to have in the humidor. It is not overpowering but is a good creamy smoke. The construction on my cigar held up great. I will not hesitate to snoke this one again at its price point and uniqueness it's a good cigar to keep on hand to give out for a back yard barbecue!

This cigar seems to almost always find its way into my cigar case everytime I go fishing. While the flavors don't smack me in the face and distract me, it is probably a good thing so i can focus on fishing. The construction is solid and normally doesn't drop asses all over the boat and waits for me to give it a good tap to drop ash. I have not paid enough attention to different cuts giving different flavors as it claims. However the mild earthy smooth flavors seem to be fitting when I'm in the water. Others on the boat have never complained and only complemented the cigar aromas this casts into the breeze. When you factor in the price of this cigar, they are definitely worth a shot to compliment a day on the water or at the beach and you won't feel bad if you have to toss it over when a big fish hits your line!

This is a good well made cigar. The brush foot to the different wrappers add a nice complexity. Get me this cigar and a rum drink on the beach and its a great day and pairing

A very enjoyable experience from first light to the tip. I cut it just a bit to open up the draw a little then enjoy the experience. This is one of the cigars that my girl enjoys as well , which is a feat! :)
