I don't think I've ever smoked anything by Cuaba. A site has the Cuaba exclusivo's on sale for $199 for a box of 25. Are they worth it?

The distinguidos are good, can be truly excellent, but I did not like the Exclusivos as much. I liked that size, the Divino's to me are to damn small.

They’re good, I personally think they’re not GREAT and as ^ he said the Divinos are too small.

Very combustible bush. I would advise against growing them in Kaliforniya

Each is differently sized/proportioned and this affects flavor greatly across the brand. I have smoked bunches of them over the years. IMNHO, the brand is hit or miss and nothing to write home about.

Smoked a box of Generosos many years ago and decided there were many other brands I like much better for similar coin. Never tried another.

Smoked the little perfecto sized one. Thought it was good, not great but still pretty good.

Used to love the Salomons back in the days, but with the recent price hike I just can't bring myself to spend $20 a stick.

Huh... I've always liked the Cuaba. Especially the Exclusivos... shade over 5" long and the 46 ring guage is in my wheelhouse. The corona gorda size. (cue TW and his deek jokes)

In my experience they kinda all taste the same, though... but that could be because I don't taste all the nuances any more. I actually quit smoking cigars while I was deployed in 2006 hoping my ability to taste the different flavors would return. It did not.

On sale for 155 Euro... which is $185. I think I kinda have to...

Edit: I just did.
