In addition to the Opus-X that I got for Christmas, I ended up with a few Dunhill Cabreras Tubos.

I've never even heard of them, much less smoked one.

Anyone ever have one before?

Light ,Mild, Tasty

Had the Valverde (Corona) and it smacked the spots off a Griffin Tubo and an Ashton Magnum. All three had shade wrappers and were smoked at the same time with two other people for comparisson. One observer said that the Dunhill was better than a Davidoff for the money, but that the Dunhill lacked "Guts". I think that there was a lack of an extra dimension is what that was supposed to convey, but the Dunhill is a high quality smoke. Definetly a very enjoyable, elegent British style flavors, to be savored, not rushed.

Very enjoyable smoke take you time and enjoy it.

I usually add a little Knob Creek to highten the pleasure 🙂

Never had a Dunhill cigar that I didn't like......for that matter, never had any Dunhill product (cigars, tobacco pouch, pipe tobacco, cigaretts, lighters, etc.) that I didn't like. Don't buy their products that often because I think they are tremendously overpriced.........but damn!....they're good!

The light and mild description is not working for me. I'd hate to toss one of these after lighting it if they cost that much. Looks like a couple of more for the "gift" box.

Some are real good and some are dried out and tatseless.

So if something is light or mild you refuse to smoke it? Hope the same doesn't hold true for your drinking, because water is often very light and mild.

I have limited tastes when it comes to cigars. What's the big deal? I don't smoke just for the sake of smoking.

Since they are rather expensive, I'd rather give them to someone who would enjoy them rather than suffer through a cigar I don't like (or toss it).

I ain't that crazy about Dunhills myself. Seems like a lot of money for a Coors Light.

What one are you refering to? Dominican? Honduran? Canary Island? Don't they also make Montecruz?

Dunhill has a lot of product.

I think I still have a few of the Cabreras Tubos hanging in the bottom of a humidor somewhere. They are well made, light bodied cigars. I smoked them on occasion when working in the garage on something and not really concentrating on the cigar. I've had them for years and don't even really know where they came from.

Waldo, that's cool, your smoking time is obviously valuable and you want to optimize it. It just seemed strange that you'd get rid of some high dollar premium cigars based on a couple of people's opinions without having tried it yourself. What I view as a light cigar may be medium or even full-bodied to another's tastebuds. I'd at least try one to see if I liked it. That being said, I have never smoked a Dunhill, so I cannot make any claims to their flavor.
