Cuaba APAC - 2021 (BCCRW)*

[mt1]

I was not entirely excited for a Cuaba but it was recommended by a friend, though I would not recommend this to my friends.

The cigar started pretty smooth as the narrow tip was lit, it was woody, a bit peppery, a bit spicy, overall the cigar couldn't quite make up its mind; maybe it wanted to be an actor, moved to LA, but ended up waiting tables at the Cheesecake Factory.  As the full diameter of the perfecto was lit, the flavors grew stronger and eventually developed into disgusting.  It was peppery, spicy, and with a heavy bitterness.

Soldiering on, I hoped it would really sort itself out, maybe land a commercial or a small role in a TV show with one or two spoken lines.  About halfway, a "floral" flavor (read: burning plastic) emerged to really round out the nastiness.  I almost gave up at this point but I'm a masochist.

The last third was (fortunately?) uneventful.  The flavors were still quite bitter and I gave up after I was a good half through the last third.  I give it a 1/10, 1 point because I like the size and shape.  This is the first one I've had so maybe it was a dud but I don't plan to find out if it was or not.

Great review.

Too bad it sucked.

Always very disappointing to get a bad Cigar.

I enjoy the Distinguidos and Exclusivos in the regular line.

Always enjoy the taste, and these 2 don't seem to suffer from incredibly tight draws like I have repeatedly experienced with the Divinos.

Just started trying out the realm of ER's a few months ago, and will heed the warning to stear clear of this one.

Maybe it needs to time to sit. Maybe it needs to take a self-discovery journey somewhere and come back to LA and try to make it big again. Everyone loves a come back story right? 

 

Sorry it sucked. It happens, I liked the review though.

I believe this is the first negative post about any of the Asia Pacifico ER's.

Typically seem to be well received and there are a ton of different ones. Cuba seems to really be trying to capture the Asian market with all the ER's they release for there compared to anywhere else.

Have yet to find a vendor that carries any of the yet though. May have to go with a private sale on a few different single

Hate it was not a good cigar, but loved your review.
