Cabanas
Torbusto Habano 
Origin: Dominican Republic
Size: 5.50 X 60
Wrapper: Natural H2000
From
Corona Cigar CO:
Born of Cuban seed, Cabanas cigars achieve
their renowned rich flavor through a unique
combination of Dominican long filler, binder
and the famous Habana 2000 wrapper. Medium
to full bodied, this robust and sultry smoke
delights the senses with flavors too complex
to detail and leaves the palate yearning for
more.

Notes:
The cigar looked a little rough, but the construction
functioned fine and the draw and burn were
perfect. This medium-bodied cigar had a slight
harshness to it and was light on flavor. It
had the taste of young tobacco in the mouth
and the smoke seemed a little disjointed, like
the cigar needed some age. I didn't care for
it the way it was, but I think it will improve
with further aging.

Notes:
The presentation in a banded white paper was
very nice. Very well made, and good looking cigar.
Fairly good draw with medium smoke produced.
This one had burn problems from the get go, it
began at about 1/3 of the cigar,and it actually
went nearly out at one point, and I had to relight
it. I thought the taste was on the harsh side,
I did not enjoy this cigar like some of theirs
in the past. Burn continued really ragged, and
frankly, I just finally put it down. I give this
one a 4.

Notes:
I've liked this line for quite sometime. This
particular vitola is not my favorite of the
line. The reason is the "Torbusto"
shape tends to cause the cigar to burn unevenly
and half the time you can't correct it. This
particular cigar did burn evenly. Without the
worry and hassle of a bad burn I was free to
enjoy the cigar for what it was. Now I tend
to lean more towards the Maduro of any line.
But I've gotta say, this cigar was far better
than any of the Cabanas Maduros that I have
smoked. The flavor was rich & earthy, yet
smooth all the way down. It had no real spice
or pepper to it, just good solid tobacco taste.
I won a box of these on CigarBid.com,
for about half of what they sell for normally
so I won't complain. It was worth smoking.
