CUABA
Every Cuaba is made in the distinctive shape known as a double figurado, the style that at the end of the 19th Century was all the rage for Habanos.
Double figurados are at the pinnacle of the cigar makers' art and for this alone they merit a place in every cigar enthusiast's collection.
Cuaba, like Cohiba, is a Taino Indian word dating back to the time of Columbus. It was their name for a highly combustible bush, which the Indians used to light their 'Cohibas.'
90/100
"Though firm and floral at first, this thin perfecto opens up once it burns past the taper, revealing a tasty palate of graham cracker, leather and sweet caramel. The spicy finish shows bright notes of ginger and horseradish..."
I smoked this cigar accompanied with some 7 year old Havana Club: what a perfect combination! Medium flavour and slightly lighter strength than the 2 larger sizes but no less pleasing. The blend reminds me somewhat of the smaller Romeos although it does retain a reasonably distinct flavour. Medium colorado maduro wrappers, smooth and relatively vein free. A decent daytime smoke. If you like the Cuaba Tradicionales you may wish to try: Punch Petit Corona and H. Upmann Gran Corona.
