The Bond Roberts Petit 109 is the more compact sibling to the 109, delivering the same refined character and precision in a shorter, more focused format. Measuring 5 ⅞ x 50, it retains the distinctive 109 head and elegant construction, offering a concentrated expression of the Bond Roberts house style.
The light brown wrapper shows natural variation, with darker freckles and pronounced veins along the reverse, while the seams remain smooth and the head well finished. Pre-light aromas are subtle and clean, with cedar and earth from the wrapper and a lightly musty humidor note from the foot. The cold draw introduces musty cedar, hay and earth, accompanied by a faint spice on the lips that hints at what’s to come.
Once lit, the cigar opens with toasted cedar and earth, joined by a slightly sharp baking spice that quickly transitions into black pepper. The retrohale mirrors this profile, delivering toasted cedar, earth and measured pepper without aggression. As the first third progresses, the pepper softens in sharpness while maintaining presence, and a light creaminess begins to round out the profile. Strength sits comfortably at medium.
Through the second third, the toast deepens and the cigar gains momentum. Cedar and earth remain at the core, while black pepper becomes more integrated rather than dominant. The retrohale grows a touch bolder, and the creaminess continues to smooth the edges as the strength nudges just above medium.
In the final third, the pepper ebbs and flows — briefly fading before reasserting itself in a brighter, more focused way. Cedar and earth remain constant to the end, with the pepper sitting just behind the core flavours and a soft creaminess lingering in the background. The cigar finishes with balance and clarity, maintaining its slightly above-medium strength without heaviness.
Elegant, structured and deliberate, the Bond Roberts Petit 109 is ideal for those who appreciate savoury, cedar-forward cigars but prefer a shorter smoking time with a more direct flavour arc.
