Smoking a 2006 Diadema on Thanksgiving day! Absolutely sublime special occasion cigar. Very smooth and mellow. Exceptional smoke. If anyone has these and are willing to trade, DM me!
231. Cuaba Diademas Vintage 2012
2018-12-09/ ANDREDIAS95
Store bought at Brobergs Tobakshandel.
Location: This review was made indoors in a cigar lounge.
Wrapper: Milk chocolate, oily and silky smooth with tiny veins.
Construction: Firm even feel all over.
Cold draw: Light nutty note.
1st third: Starts with a creamy smooth nutty note, a hint of pine wood and toasted bread.
2nd third: It tastes like buttered brioche bread that has been lightly toasted. So balanced in the flavours from start to finish.
The burn: Burns steady and fairly sharp with a white stable and firm ash.
Smoke: Light smoke with a cool feeling on the tongue and a tight but not uncomfortable draw.
3rd third: Keeps the same smooth and creamy flavours from previous parts.
Conclusion: A mild bodied cigar with a mild strength profile. Very enjoyable smooth experience. Since it’s the first time I tried a Cuaba Diademas I can’t say all will be the same but Cuaba is known for being a mild and smooth Cuban. Took me 2h 30 min to smoke it.
Result: In my book this is an 92 point cigar.
