In late 2011<\/p>\n
Habanos S.A<\/p>\n
announced its annual list of discontinued products, although it is still somewhat unclear exactly how the product was discontinued!<\/p>\n
Among the list was a Cuaba vitola called:<\/p>\n
Cuaba Tradicionales<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
The Tradicionales<\/p>\n
Like almost every Cuaba ever made, it is a perfectly shaped cigar. As explained by Habanos S.A:<\/p>\n
Each Cuaba is made in a distinctive shape known as a de Figudo. This was a style that was very important to Habanos at the end of the 19th century.<\/p>\n
A century later, in 1996, this rich tradition was revived at the Romeo y Julieta factory where Cuabas are made.
\nDouble figudos are at the pinnacle of cigar making and that is why they have a place in every cigar aficionado\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n
Cuaba, like Cohiba, is an indigenous Ta\u00edno word dating back to pre-Columbian times. It was the word for a highly combustible shrub that the natives used to light their \u201cCohibas\u201d.<\/p>\n
All sizes contain a blend of leaves from the region:<\/p>\n
Vuelta Abajo<\/p>\n
and<\/p>\n
\u201ctotalmente a mano, tripa larga\u201d<\/p>\n
(totally handmade with a long filler layer and full leaf).<\/p>\n
In the relatively short history of the Cuaba, the Perfectos\/Salomon have come in every shape and size, with the only non-Perfecto being the 2008 Pyramides Edition Limitada Cuaba.<\/p>\n
Tradicionales<\/p>\n
The first Cuaba to be discontinued, although Habanos has reduced the packaging options in most sizes and formats in the last few years.<\/p>\n

It is one of the few cigars without a head or a foot. First, the Tradicionales is relatively thin, perhaps the thinnest double-ended cigar outside of the<\/p>\n
La Caridad del Cobre Javelin<\/p>\n
Also, the wrapper is dark and full of oil. Aroma-wise, it is light with old leather, some manure and very sour with a bit more sweetness in the foot.<\/p>\n
The Tradicionales<\/p>\n
Is not the best looking cigar. There is a bit of a question about how much it should be cut, but nevertheless, the cold smoke will be fairly firm and hard.<\/p>\n
The taste is a very different story: a big hickory barbecue note with a twang at the beginning and some floral and black pepper at the end of the full and smooth flavor profile.<\/p>\n
An initial hit of the Tradicionales starts with a sweet cocoa note that is slightly soured by some bread, fruit wood and cocoa notes before the white pepper takes over. Unfortunately, the airstream is a bit tight at first but fortunately, after a while, the airstream opens up and salty, earthy and herbal notes are felt in the mouth.<\/p>\n
The middle third of the smoke of the Coba doesn\u2019t change much, except for the reduced bite. The green, earthy, tobacco and a bit of black pepper are still present. The airstream gets a little better, but unfortunately it\u2019s not manageable. The smoke production is average, the Coba burn is a bit weak, but it creates a dense and eye-catching ash.<\/p>\n
In the final third the Tradicionales momentarily becomes a little sweeter and then the flavor fades away. The airflow is still not great and the biggest problem is that it is inconsistent and uncontrollable.<\/p>\n
The final smoke time is around 40 minutes.<\/p>\n
