Specimen:
Canimao Churchill Tubo ("deluxe tubes")
7 x 49 (roughly)
Honduras
From Canimao:
"According to legend, Canimao was a great Indian warrior who fell in love with a beautiful Indian woman named Cibayara, the daughter of Cacique [or “Chief”] Baguanao. One day, Cibayara was inexplicably unable to rise from her hammock, her body burning with fever and delirium. After three days, Cacique Baguanao sent Canimao to find Macaori, a folk healer living on the banks of the Jibacabuya River, to cure Cibayara.
When Canimao arrived at Macaori’s hut, Macaori told him that the beautiful Cibayara would be cured and would become his wife, and that she would give him a son. In exchange, the Bat God would exact a high price from Canimao. Canimao swore before the clay image of the Bat God that he would give his life for the health of his beloved. Macaori then healed Cibayara by order of the Bat God. Canimao and Cibayara were married and, three months later, Cibayara was pregnant with the son of her beloved.
One day, Canimao left his hut without saying goodbye, took his canoe, and rowed to the center of the Jibacabuya River. With his own untrembling hands, Canimao cut open his chest with his dagger and fell into the river. Months later, Cibayara bore a son. The two would take offerings together to the Jibacabuya River, which became known as the Canimao."
I acquired some of these through a friend at Puros Indios. I will gradually work through all of the vitolas, but started with this tubo. First off, they are absolutely gorgeous to behold. Great aroma, great appearance, excellent feel. Immaculately crafted; some definite skill and, more importantly, love, went into the crafting of this beauty.
So I select this one prior to dinner. One of the staff had acquired some porterhouses the size of my head, so I figured this would be a great start to the experience. Clip, pre-light draw was good, but slightly, and I do mean slightly, tight. This would resolve itself as the cigar progressed, but for the first third or so, it was an ever-so-slight tight draw. Getting ahead of myself though.
Toast, ignition, light...even with the slightly tight draw, this baby put out volumes of smoke. First tastes are of cedar, leather and earthiness. Tasty. Damn tasty. It started to get a very nice white-charcoalish combination ash, that held on until I carefully knocked it off.
