Casa Cuevas Cigars Habano in Toro - Redux Cigar Review by Kaplowitz

"Have you Kaplowitz'd to-day?"

WRAPPER: Ecuadorian Habano 
BINDER: Nicaraguan
FILLER: Dominican & Nicaraguan

FORMAT: Toro
ORIGIN: Tabacalera Las Lavas factory, Dominican Republic

STRENGTH: Medium-Full
PROFILE: Sweet/Spice
DELIVERY: Smooth/Rigid
PEPPER-SPICE low | MEDIUM | high

COMBUSTION: poor | OK | excellent
CONSTRUCTION: poor | OK | excellent

NOTES:
A sweetly toasted natty tobacco-forward core of inherent nutty-woods. Goodly dose of spice & everything nice re: Habano lends moderate+ complexities which seem far more brilliant in its Robusto brethren. Tight draw but no other qualms in firmly-rolled construction. Burns not razor even, but sans mandated redirections. 

FINAL GRADE: B+
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59
