Two months ago I posted about the Casa Cuevas Patrimonio shipping to stores, and Gabriel Piñeres, who does the PR for Cuevas, and has been a great friend for many years, was kind enough to send me a couple of them a few weeks ago. When I posted the news item I threatened to buy some, and I plan to make good on that threat, 
especially after smoking these (and I’m smoking one as I type). To recap, this was made as an homage to the senior Cuevas, Luis Sr., by his son and grandson, with a Honduran Corojo wrapper, Ecuadorian Habano binder, and filler made up of Peruvian, Nicaraguan, and Dominican tobaccos. This is an interesting blend for a historically Dominican company! I smoked the 5″ x 54 Robusto, when I buy some, I’ll try the Toro (of course). Both samples I smoked worked perfectly, I couldn’t have been happier. There’s a tanginess to the smoke which I suppose would be classified as citrus, over a fairly leathery flavor. It’s a really nice cigar. This would be a no brainer for me to be a new Father’s Day traditional cigar for me, but I was the very fortunate recipient the cigars that I’ve been smoking for the last 20 years (which, of course, are 20+ years old and in beautiful condition, I’m set into my 70s!). This is a brilliant cigar, very well done.
Contest!
It’s been a while again, and I feel like giving some things away! Once again, this will be a random CigarCraig’s Humidor selection! I’ve pulled some cigars from the humidor, and I’ll add some more as I rummage through the humidors during the week! There are 13 cigars pictured, along with a very nice dual flame lighter and cutter from Villiger, assorted coasters, stickers and matches as I come across them, and a nice shirt from Habana Premium Cigar Shoppe that I would have happily added t my wardrobe, but 2XL is much too large for me I’m afraid! So as per usual, leave a comment on this post to enter, one post per person please! Must be of legal age to win, of course! I’ll pick a winner next Wednesday, November 3, 2021.
That’s all for today, until the next time,
CigarCraig
