I like the divinos and the LARGE NO MASSIVE ones that come in a coffin and are wrapped in there own foil but as its been stated when you get a good one its normally really good BUT when you get a bad one and i find thats more often that not you get it bad its either going to be a really tight draw that might even out after a while or it will just be so plugged no amount of finger skills or cigar spears will make it smokeable (ive resorted to my smallest bit on my power drill several times)
If your going to stock them i say (and im in no way a expert) but just stock a few boxs at first and try and get some feedback from your clients first maybe go as far as to throw a cheap one in with a large order just to get the intrest out there because really between boli royal coronas and upmann number 2s they really aint a sick i would be reaching for 9 times out of 10.
I've enjoyed both the Distinguidos and Generosos a great deal and would definitely buy again. I've never had a Divinos but with the 20-ish Cuaba I've smoke I haven't had a single draw problem.
Their shape obviously makes them stand out from the average Cuban so novelty factor alone is bound to sell a few I guess.
I've had a few Traditionales which were nice, though I think they are discontinued. The Salomones were fantastic and quite different to other Cuaba, Generosos I always have a box in stock, as for the other vitoles I have yet to try.
I enjoy the flavour of a good Cuaba and echo most of what has been said. The Diadema is under rated in my opinion; it knocks the socks off the recent Italian regional Punch Diadema.
I normally do a routine check on my stock with the 'sqeeze' test and I have a couple of Generosos that keep a consistent bounce, unlike others. Haven't had one yet, just allowing them to brew until the moment is right!
