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).
