Cuba Libre

I'm smoking this Cuba Libre I got from skweekz. The vitola is what I can best describe as a bell shape. Can anyone tell me what you call it?

Sounds like it falls within the broad "figurado" description. Is it bellicose?

y2pascoe

Maybe. It's fat and boxed pressed at the foot and then tapers to almost a corona size at the head. Smoked like a champ.

I have yet to have A bad experience with any of the Cuba Libre line. The cigars have A great burn and definitely have A fantastic flavor profile. My personal favorite is the epicure boxed press.

I think thats a special figurado shape, if you look around there is a sampler at Ccom's relatives place. Has 4 each of el mejor espresso, 5 vegas classic, cuba libre & I forget the 4th brand, but its 16 cigars in that shape for a damn good price. Good to hear they smoked well, I've been thinking about getting just for the shape & because I have never smoked a vegas classic.

Saw that sampler interesting looking sticks. If they ever put The One out in that I think I'd really like to try that.

I wish that size was available in a few of those brands regularly, in boxes of 20. Seems interesting & I would probably jump on a box after hearing they burn well.

The CL is a good everyday kind of smoke. It doesn't knock you off your feet but is pleasant none the less. The CL One is much more full bodied and complex and should not be smoked without some food first.

Not going to make my own thread, but this is a review here on CCom.Absolutely exellent buy. I''ve been on a trip to cuba, and this is honestly fairly close to the quality of those delicious Cuban cigars, but for a much cheaper price. Nice full smoke, a box of 20 will last a while. 5 out of 5. - PaulKensington

To each his own. I think they call the cubanesque.

I'm not saying he's wrong.I'm saying that I'd be willing to gamble that he smoked some fake Cubans. Maybe even a few Cuba Libre with Behike bands on em.
