The Casa Cuevas Maduro Clásico Prensado is an enjoyable cigar with flavors of cocoa, leather, red pepper flake, pepper, sweetness and earth. Burn performance is very good, with a bit of a tight draw. Strength peaked just over medium at times, but was approachable throughout the smoking experience.
Wrapped in beautiful Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and featuring a pig tail and shaggy foot, these cigars will be the first full body and full-strength cigars in the Casa Cuevas line-up. They will be offered in 20 count boxes of 6 X 52 Toros, will retail for $12.00 per cigar, and the initial production will be limited to 500 boxes.
As my first introduction to the brand, I enjoyed the flavor profile of the Casa Cuevas Habano Clásico Prensado. Natural cigar tobacco flavor, sharp minerals, barnyard, roasted chestnuts with a nice dose of black pepper on the retrohale are all notes pointing to a well executed Habano wrapped cigar.
This new release stays true to our original Habano & Maduro blends. The new vitola brings a much requested box pressed format to our line-up. The 6 X 48 Box-Pressed Cigars will be available by end of August in boxes of 20.
