And so onto C. Because C's include Cohiba's, I will be making several entries to cover in some detail.
Cabanos is a Marca of machine made cigars, since the Rev but did have hand rolled vitola's previously.
Belvedere's are a vitola made by several marca's inc Boli, R&J....size....
Not my fav, I prefer similar panatela's. The cone type head on the former, really requires cutting, whereas panatelas can be punched as well, which is simpler when fishingvor travelling.
Decent strong tobacco flav & as a vintage smoke these are more flavoursome than you might imagine but never complex or changing, like a hand rolled of the same age. This is why they fetch good prices on auction but less than hand made. If you think you might have found a bargain check carefully, whether it was hand made at that time or not. Cgars for instance quote dimension & age but not method.
Colosos Gordos 7" ×49
This is a very rare cigar, possibly from the 1940's. I acquired a box from a member of a previous Cigar group, when I purchased a large potion of his collection.
An impressive stick, with a Julieta No2 length, with the RG of a Dble Corona. Unfortuately, many were damaged, due to storage but I smoked the best one & returned the rest. Was a heck of a smoke, with a med/full profire. Tragic they had been stored so badly. But a privilege to smoke such a unique cigar.
