Cuaba Piramides Edicion Limitada 2008 Review

[partagasd4]

I picked up a few of these during the Czar's piramide sale. I have tried a few different Cuabas in the past that were decent but not great. Let's see how the Piramide compares:

Stats:

Length: 156

Format: Piramide

Ring: 52

Weight: 14.26 Grams

Construction: Very good. Nice chocolate brown wrapper, nearly flawless. Packed foot

Draw: Firm

Aroma: Earthy

Pre Light Draw: Fruity tea and tobacco

First Third: Peppery coffee, creamy. Instant flavour. Transformed into a bold, black coffee

Second Third: Coffee flavours have transitioned into a dark chocolate. Toasted tobacco starts to dominate. Notes of black English tea.

Last Third: Coffee and chili pepper. Notes of milky tea.

Finish: Smokey barley tea.

Conclusion: The best cigar in the Cuaba line that I have tried (I have not yet tried the Salamones). I would rate this an 87. Tons of flavour and will only get better with some age. This cigar had some problems with an uneven burn, probably because I was sloppy when lighting. Aside from that it is a very well made cigar and I would definitely recommend it.

Nice review Partagas. I love the Piramides, one of my faves of late although I tend to enjoy these before I have a stronger cigar as these can be somewhat mild.

I've had the Cuaba Pyramides - on a par along with the best of the best. Excellent, warm, toasty havana aroma and flavor. A wonderful habana smoke

Thanks for the review.

I have had 3 of them so far - and all of them, I have to say have underwhelmed me quite a bit. They looked a whole better than they tasted.

Couldn't agree more, Rob. On a separate thread, I've posted negative impressions of Cuaba: they remain. What say you, Ken?
