Cuaba Distinguidos LGR MAR 18 (NTYRW)

[MigsG]

Just finished this Distinguidos, first time, and probably won't be looking for it again.

Started out great, actually.  Suprisingly light in the first third. Instead of peanuts, i tasted a flavor similar to cashew nuts, oily, but with a nutty, light, slightly sweet creamy texture to the smoke.  Zero aftertaste, left a clean finish in the mouth. Perfect for having at events like a wedding where you don't want a lingering flavor afterwards on your tongue.

The middle third took on an additional flavor like white pepper, but then disappeared later on. Disappointingly, a light wood flavor took over.

The last third was forgettable. All wood, maybe a hint of the cashew flavor left. Didn't nub the cigar, there was still a good 20+ minutes left, but I decided I was done. 

Have to score this low, very low. First third was actually enjoyable, then it went downhill for me from there. 8/10 for first third, then a 3/10 for second third and 0/10 for last third.  Total score, rounding it up to a 4/10.

Bummer.  

Haven't yet had a Cuaba that I enjoyed.

Yes, but don't get me wrong - I would definitely smoke that 1/3 any time. But I won't go out of my way to buy them.
