One of only three Infantes vitola cigars made post-Rev, the others being the Cifuentes Petit Bouquets and the Partagas Petit Bouquets. A very small cigar (37 x 98mm) and much larger than even the 43 x 101mm Cuaba Divinos which, interestingly, has the vitola name of Petit Bouquets!

One singular review from the same year! https://www.cigars-review.org/Cabanas-Chiquitos.htm

I'm surprised examples of these aren't more common. They don't seem to have been particularly rare after the 1989 relaunch and were actually very highly regarded compared to both Troya and Belinda. In fact it was the only machine made to utilize long filler. 

According to MRN Cabanas was not marketed in Hong Kong/Asia but in the Caribbean, Europe and especially in the Soviet countries where it appears that this brand and the relaunch appeared to primarily target. 

According to MRN the brand is above average in strength, good quality and ages well although he states he hadn't smoked any from before 1996.
