Your favorite Cuaba

[encephalization]

I really enjoyed the EL, had one not too long ago. Raisiny, almost reminded me of a cousin of a good Opus, yet (of course) different in other aspects.

I have only had a few of the Salos and have been quite happy with them.

Never tried one.

But I have a Diadema from 2010 in my humidor... never seem to find time to light it up.

Drink lots of coffee or it will put you to sleep. I can't bring myself to smoke my last one on account of them being so boring for three hours.

No love for this fine marca ?

Divinos and Exclusivos i smoke fairly regularly and still have to stumble over an example that has an unmanageable draw. On the other hand i never smoke them before they hit the three or four year mark.

Never liked the Traditionales and Generosos the same way as they seemed to miss some elements in comparison, so i am OK with cutting those two.

The few Distinguidos i had were pretty good as well.

If only we could ask MRN his thoughts on Cuaba...

Finishing up my first Distinguidos from a LGR JUN 17 box and it's very good. Perfect construction and burn. Not one touch-up required. Very impressive for a large figurado. Medium to medium full, consistent throughout. Scored it a 93. Hopefully the rest of the box performs as well. HSA's definitely doing something right with this cigar.

Recently smoked a Salomone from one of the night offers here.  Absolutely perfect burn, a real joy to smoke.

Smoked a distinguidos recently. Gifted to me, unknown age but been in my humidor 18months. Thoroughly enjoyed this cigar, one of the best I have had this year. Much better than its smaller cousins.

If you are going to smoke a Cuaba, for me it has to be one of the big ones; Diadema, Distinguido, or Salomones.  For the small figuardos; I'd prefer a similarly traditional shape cigar.
