Cuaba Diadema 2005 (BGRW)

[nKostyan]

Size: 55x9 1/8” - the flute of the Apocalypse

For a long time I could not allocate time to it, usually it is smoked for 2.5-3 hours

I decided to smoke it while cooking pilaf.

Until the middle of cigar it was light and empty taste - low body, the years have done their job, this is typical for some vintage cigars. Taste: woody with fragrant not burning black pepper. Because of my lack of taste, I smoked fast and reached the equator fairly quickly. Closer to the middle, the taste became saturated and there were traditional nutty tones for Cuaba and the taste was filled with medium body and strength, there were interesting nuances. Thoughtful Smoking with a description of each shade did not work due to the fact that I was regularly distracted by the cooking process. But the cigar brightened up my evening perfectly

Rating 4/5 stars-a pleasant cigar, but the peak of its taste is in the past.

I really like your reviews! I haven’t had a cuaba since the 90’s ! They were really powerful cigars back then

Very similar to my 2005 one I smoked last year, I pared it with some 40 year old taylors port and i got massive raisin notes and was very linear.  Tbh not much of a fan of cuaba.  Love the format and the coffin, very grand.
