The Cuaba Distinguidos is a small, plump figurado vitola that captivates with its approachable charm and firm draw. Measuring 162 mm by a 52 ring gauge, it presents an inviting experience for aficionados who appreciate nuanced complexity in a compact form.
On the cold draw, it reveals enticing notes of cocoa, nuts, and rich humus, setting a savory stage for the journey ahead. The first third opens gently with hazelnut aromas adding a gourmand touch, followed by persistent and elegant woody nuances. Cocoa flavors grow more pronounced as the segment concludes.
The second third brings silky, rich smoke that delivers a beautifully balanced palette—melding oily, woody, and vegetal elements with finesse. This harmonious blend underscores the vitola’s depth and craftsmanship.
In the final third, the profile begins indulgently with toasted bread and mocha notes but gradually takes on a slightly astringent edge, accented by fresh green vegetal flavors. Despite a less controlled finish, the Cuaba Distinguidos remains a rewarding and underappreciated gem.
