Cubao Esteli

Eddie Ortega's tasty Cubao series was a 92-rated boutique gem a few years back, but suffered from production slowdowns due to a shortage of tobacco used in the blend. Back in action with the Cubao Esteli, Ortega has delivered another beauty and for our part, we're delivering hellaciously discounted prices. If you like Nicaraguan premiums but hate paying high prices, this intro is a no brainer. Gorgeous Habano wrappers hugging a blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers from Esteli and Jalapa, this recipe delivers waves of bready, nutty flavors and light spices. Medium to full in body, Cubao Esteli burns well with an easy draw and yields volumes of creamy smoke clouds. Complex yet balanced with a robust profile and hints of cedar and citrus with a peppery touch.
