These look good, can you tell me if you have had any build or draw issues with them or others from Cuaba? I've had lots of trouble with Divinos and therefore haven't tried anything else they do even though I really live the flavour profile of the Divinos and suspect the bigger sticks are great. A nice detailed review would be great but some feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

Also if you fancy a trade I'd love to try them.

Hello Tommy. I have had no problems with draw yet.

since march I have smoked 1 Divinos 10 Tradicionales 15 Generosos, 2 Exclusivos and 1 Pyramide.

The only frequent issue I've had was that I was using a jet flame lighter and it was too powerful. I found the end would burn unevenly from the intense flame. Much better lit off a match ( once the flare goes down ) and with a small draw it catches. The narrow tip means the 1st few puffs are quite different to the body of it.

i prefer the Generosos as they're 5 1/8" which I find suits the figaduro shape better than the shorter Tradicionales or Divinos... plus I have a superb antique walnut case they fit in beautifully!

i would be definitely be interested in a swap for something interesting!

Here's a few pics of the case, it has a wooden hinge, real craftsmanship.

A Fine Addition.

Everytime I buy a box of Cuabas, the majority are either plugged or have draw problems to some degree, gosh darn it!

But when they draw well, they are hard to beat, by golly!

Hope you have better luck with yours, chico

That's a beautiful case. I got outbid on Ebay for something similar in silver.

Hi TJ

guess you've been unlucky! Although so has Tommy. So does the brand have a reputation then?
