Cuaba — Diademas .... how do you

[tippexx]

look after them. I'm a big fan of Cuaba and CoH have a really good price on Diademas which I just might go for. But how do you keep the gars humidified as the come in a box of five coffin boxes and each gar is foil wrapped?

Oh .... and has anyone tried one?

[jkim05]

Stick the whole box in your humidor and the hidity will go through the box and the foil as they are not completely sealed. If you have a desktop, take the cigars out ofthe coffins and stick them in, the foil is not airtight so there's nothing to worry about. As for how they taste, I haven't actually tried this vitola,
but in general I think the cuabas are decent with a few years of age on them but they taste awfully young until then.

I have a 5-box myself and I just chucked the whole thing in the humidor...been there for a few years and the last one I had was tip-top :)

Have you tried one before? If not, set aside at least 2 hours....:tongue:

[whisky77]

I have only tried one , as a single.Nice big smoke.:biggrin1:

[yiorgos]

They are nice smokes, especially if you are into milder cigars...Draw and burn is (usually) good and it took me more than 3 hours to smoke mine!

[big_Bear]

I'm looking forward to trying one of these soon.
I've heard great things about this. Though I can't imagine that these will fit in my humi.

[tippexx]

Well, that's a decision then. Two hours eh? A lot of gardening not going to be done this Summer!

Like Stevie says, just pop 'em in the luurve nest Tip, coffin, foil 'n' all:41:

I love Cuaba and their figs too:rock:

If you were looking at long term storage, then I'd take them out of the coffins, cedar can do funny things with the oils. Over a couple of years though they'll be fine.

They're an exceptional and singular smoke; mild, nutty and vegetal, with amazing complexity. Nothing like the smaller Cuabas, and only passingly similar to the Salomones

[tippexx]

Thanks Cesara, I have a Salomones and that fits into my humidor .... at 9.5inches the Dia's will be a bit to big. If I'm gonna fit them anywhere it's in their box an' coffins in a 'new' tupp .... I'm jam-packed in my present one.
