GodofFire Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I have been reading allot of articles on Cuba lately and on alt of those articles I read about these cigars. But yet on a couple different forms I am on I never hear anyone talk about these in any way good or bad. . What is the story behind these cigars. Ate they not something that vertu many people order or enjoy. Curious to hear what you all have to say about this cigar. Please give me your input whether good or bad. Just want to learn more about this cigar. Thanks Mike
Lotusguy Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Do a search on Cuaba and read the thread started by El Prez for lots of comments. I don't know how to post a link to a thread within Tapatalk
hounser Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I think Lotusguy is talking about this thread GOF http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=117398 Lots of discussion on the marca

westg Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I have half a box of Solomones 10 or so Generosos 7 2008 EL which are far better than some I have seen. And a few other bits and pieces Funny thing is all of the above are great cigars , however I simply find myself always smoking something else. It's like why would you take a kombi van for a drive when have a Porsche in the garage.
GodofFire Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Just read through all 5 pages. Very interesting reading. Now I truly better understanding why there is no chat about this cigar. TYVM for the help Mike
Maplepie Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Mike. i find your username quite amusing given both the context and general awesomeness
Habana Mike Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 While I've enjoyed some in the past, recent ones have been too tight to smoke almost to a stick. Former were mostly larger format, recent smaller so maybe that..... Have to say that when they are on (and smokeable) I enjoy the profile for a change of pace.
Maplepie Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 While I've enjoyed some in the past, recent ones have been too tight to smoke almost to a stick. Former were mostly larger format, recent smaller so maybe that..... funny you should say that. if i can recall correctly (smallclub can always jump on me when i have a momentary lapse of reason ), the cuaba line was be a throwback to what the old Perfectos and styles of ye olde days. there was a hounding for those old tapered sticks that were always a hit with the masses. 1970s, give or take a decade, saw nice booms with those. and the maschine made sticks from yesteryear (Belvederes, chicos, entire range of Los Statos) all had the tapered end. but even include all the good sticks in that size! Remember the RyJ Celestial Finos? shame they screwed that one up something fierce. i guess they just didn't have the skilled rollers that they used to. Have to say that when they are on (and smokeable) I enjoy the profile for a change of pace. that's the unfortunate part. my box of Divinos would all smoke well when they could produce smoke. i'd say a good 15 of them were plugged. This even extends to the Generoses and Tradicionals... But then there's the price of those...... i mean, isn't that why we all stayed away from the 2008 LE? (the ones who enjoy Cuaba, anyways)
oliverdst Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 2008 EL smoking well at the moment. My box of divinos can be a dream or a nightmare. Agree with Maplepie: it's not the regular shape. I guess few rollers have the skill. 1
galtline Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 the only cuaba I smoked got thrown in a fire 5 minutes in. pure rubbish.
StingMeadery Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Tried the EL 2008 which is liked by many. Was a fine smoke, well constructed...although the flavour profile simply didn't fit my palate. That's Cuaba "over and out" for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
smokenj Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I have had a few 2011 Cuaba Exclusivos that were pretty tasted. I have heard others review them poorly, though.
Maplepie Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I have heard others review them poorly, though. i've found em to be an *AHEM* acquired taste... 2
GodofFire Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 Well sound like this will not make the "gotta try" list. . Thanks for all your help in getting me to know more about this cigar Mike
johnhenry Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I'm sure that they are discontinuing them sometime soon and then they will be all the rage!
Maplepie Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Well sound like this will not make the "gotta try" list. . honestly, i would discourage you from that. one day, ask some of your mates for a divinos. they're cheap and quintessential Cuaba. after 3 and you still don't like em, then maybe put em off for a year before trying them again. i would keep them on the list of the 'gotta try' if i were you.
sengjc Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Salomons are lovely if you have the time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Maplepie Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Had a delicious Generosos last night. I had absolutely no clue they came in cardboard boxes. well done!
kwsaw63 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I had absolutely no clue they came in cardboard boxes. well done! Only in the 5 packs.
kwsaw63 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 ah, so a 5x5? Yes but this type of packaging was discontinued in 2010.

Well maybe I will give thena try ifi find someone willing to sell a couple someday. Thanks for all the info
