    Default Cabaiguan Natural ~ Guapos 46

    Smoke: Cabaiguan Natural ~ Guapos 46
    Drink: Southern Tier ~ 2xIPA
    Tunes: Willie Colon ~ Anthology
    Date Smoked: 9/27/12

    Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
    Binder: Nicaraguan
    Filler: Nicaraguan
    Draw: Medium to light
    Burn: great
    Misc: n/a

    Pre-light: Solid Colorado shade wrapper. Nice construction with medium veins and a triple pigtail cap. Has a sweet tobacco scent. Slightly bitter prelight flavor with a sweet tobacco ring.



    Light: Pretty easy. Medium draw.

    1st 3rd: Creamy and buttery. There is a bitter oil in there, but it is masked pretty well. This is different. A musty tobacco flavor. Toasty. Yeah, a little walnut skin bitterness, but it’s faint. Medium body, and smooth.



    Ash: Crisp white, stacked well, but doesn’t look stable. Nevertheless, holds on for about 1”



    2nd 3rd: Definite departure from my normal profile. Smooth, light flavor with medium body. Musty tobacco with a light walnut skin background oil ring. Woodsy and nutty flavor showing through.



    3rd 3rd: Mostly the same. Walnut skin a little more pronounced. Smooth and nutty and woodsy flavors. Come to notice it, there is a notable absence of spice or tooth for this Nicaraguan binder and filler. Just smooth and nutty with a musty tobacco taste.



    Overall impression: I nubbed it.

    Thanks Rich for including this in a contest winnings. I also had one of these from he who shall not be named with similar stats. IIRC.

    Thanks. The 2xIPA is pretty good, however coming from a sampler case, I have decided I would not get a single case of it. There are better examples of a double IPA

    Love these.


    Does double IPA mean twice as bad as a regular IPA?

    I am a pansy, I was not a fan of IPA. Maybe I just got a bad one. I'll go for it again someday.

    I had this cigar a few months ago and the one I had did have some spice IIRC. Interesting that you didn't get any, it seemed to be a dominant flavor in the one I had. Maybe mine was a fluke. It was good regardless, I've been meaning to pick up a few.

    Nice review, love the pics! It's weird I've had the same one and loved it, but hated the rx size, real sour chemically taste.
    Out of all the interwebs and www's, I can say that this is my favorite smoke shop
