Out of Humidor at 22`C and 68% RH, enjoyed at 35`C with a can of Heineken.
Cuban Figurado, 4" long, gauge 42, ?8.00 in UK
A quick review for a 30 minute smoke;
First impressions are good, looks and feels well made, pleasing tobacco odour.

Pre draw is firm, as befits the shape. tastes of wood and tobacco on lips..
After the first few draws I got lots of cool smoke giving warm flavours of tobacco and some woodiness. Ash stayed on for 2 inches.

The burn was excellent through the full length of the smoke, each time it got slightly wavy it corrected itself. Definitely a full strength cigar, but the flavour was a bit muted. Smoked to 1\2 inch. I enjoyed it but did feel like I wanted more, and ultimately was slightly disappointed.
Conclusion, well made with an interesting shape, but not as complex as the larger vitolas in the Cuaba range.
