Cubao No. 4

[elderboy02]

Date: 11/2/08

Cigar: Cubao No. 4 (4 7/8 x 50)

Cost: $5

Drink: Coca-Cola Classic (the best cola out there)

Appearance: 1 Banded Cigar that says Cubao with a brown background. It says Espinosa y Ortega at the top. This has an ecuador sumatra oscuro wrapper. There were some veins showing.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar had a woodsy, spicy, and coffee taste to it. It is somewhat one-dimensional.

Construction: Held an average ash. The draw was a little bit too loose. The cigar required a few touchups, but had a razor sharp burn for the most part.

Strength: This was a medium-full cigar.

Summary: This cigar was pretty average and one-dimensional to me. I dont think I will ever buy a box of these. Maybe a single every now and then. I give it a 7/10.

Love these babies. Might have one tonight with this nice cool weather we're having!

I think you might have gotten a "bad one" haha. I absolutely love these things. There is a pretty big buzz surrounding these cigars, especially with the sumatra lovers (I am one of those!). Try the lancero, they are absolutely fantastic.

Don't give up hope on these yet, try another one!

Thanks for the review.

The price point is pretty decent too, considering the price on many Pepin blends.

Hmmmm.... I might have to pick up a lancero. I have heard a lot of people say that the lanceros are good.
