Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

Size: "Fundadores", I would call it a lancero at 7 X 40.


I ain't kiddin', I've been smoking CCs all weekend and this cigar is one of the best NCs I've EVER had! Prelight the cigar has a very floral aroma. While smoking, this cigar shows deep, rich flavors that seem to cover the entire spectrum of what a good cigar is supposed to taste like. The floral is still very present in the aroma of the smoke coming from the foot but not so much in the flavor of the smoke. This adds another dimension to the whole experience. Picture perfect burn and draw.

Just a fantastic cigar. This is the only size I've tried of this line, but the other sizes WILL be smoked, and soon!

I've enjoyed these cigars -- they're surprisingly good -- but haven't had the lancero yet. Thanks for the review!

I have had the Robusto and #4's, and I agree - they are very, very good.

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

I have had the robusto, churchill, and toro and find them all delicious.:ss I think this is a good cigar that is overlooked by most.:2

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

Whats the flavor profile on these?

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

Here's a review I did a few months ago on another site:

Made by Oliva, CI had been promoting this new line of Sol Cubano, and I got a great deal on a sampler. It's a very good cigar, but when price/value is considered, it's great.

Dark H2000 wrapper, very nice to the eye and the nose. Well filled, solid in the hand.

It lights easily and burns well, with just a little scalloping. The flavor is very good: medium-full body, spicy, earthy, long finish. It's well balanced and doesn't hit you with power. It starts with a burst of spice, but then settles into a darker more, mellow spice, with more medium bodied finish. It burns slowly, with hints of light chocolate and spice flavors popping up along the way. The smoke isn't complex enough to make this a great cigar, but it is quite good, very enjoyable, however, and an excellent value if you do just a little shopping around at auction (I've since picked up a box of 25 Churchills for about $40 - hadn't planned to commit to a box, but saw a deal and took it).

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

Thanks I have been curious about these and haven't heard much.

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

I knew nothing about this stick so thanks a bunch for the review.

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

Well I was sitting there last night I light up my Sol Cubano and was thinking for the first inch this is ok then the second inch I was thinking I don't see what the hype is??? Then I tapped off the ash and the rest of the stick was great, I was like wow that is what everybody is talking about. I don't think it will be my Go-To but I'll definently be picking up a few more. :pi

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

Bought a 5er of the size 'A' of these off of cbid. I was looking for a cigar that I could smoke when I mowed my yard without having to get off the mower too many times for a 2nd cigars. This is the one! At 9x48, it last the better part of two hours for me, and smokes like a dream. The burn has always been right on, with only minor issues that always seem to work themselves out. The flavor is right on too. Great cigar! Nice review too!

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

I had one of the 9x48 sticks and it was a delightful smoke.
Since this original review cam out I have a bunch of the Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinets. I'll be trying the "B" blend tomorrow.

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

Sol Cubano is, I believe, only the name of the company. The Connie, Sumatra, and Maduro are made by Oliva, the Cuban Cabinet is made by AJ Fernandez. I don't know who makes the Series B.

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

I did a series B tonight. Wrote a review.
You will be pleased with it as well as the Cuban Cabinet.

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

Just picked up a box of the robustos off the devil site after this and the blind review that ted did. Was just gonna grab a 5er but for $28 I couldn't say no. Any advice on if they need any resting time?

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

I'm going to pull the trigger on the CI one day deal because of this thread. However I need to wait until after 3pm to complete my order because if I order now they will be sitting on my door step when Im out of town for the holiday.

Really looking forward to trying these........ only 13 hrs left for the CI 1-Day Deal.

Re: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
 

They're pretty good fresh but much better with about 6mos rest. The one that Ted did came from me and it had about 6-8 mos humidor time.
