Cabaiguan Guapo RX

[Green Lantern]

Fired up a Cabaiguan Guapo RX for Lunch today and thought I would review it as well. This is my first review here and many more to come.

The Stats Line
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sun Grown
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Size: 5 1/4 x 50
Body: Medium
Country of Origin: Nicaragua, Tabacalera Cubana S.A.

The Cigar
Background Noise: Another joint cigar project by Pete Johnson and Pepin Garcia. Originally the Cabaiguan cigars came with an Connecticut Seed Ecuadorian wrapper and the Guapo was derived from using a stronger Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper.

Prelight: The wrapper is smooth and silky to the touch. No bulging veins on the cigar. The cigar also has an oily sheen to it. The cap is a beautiful triple cap with a small pigtail. The wrapper is oily on the lips and the clean draw is sweet with cedary notes.

The Burn: Straight as a razor, but don't count on the ash holding onto to the cigar for long, the first ash fell off after half an inch. The ash is a gray with darker grey lines. From start to finish, the burn was perfect

The Flavor: The cigar is very smooth in flavor with a slight bite to it. The cigar produces lots of smoke full of meaty, chewy and leathery flavors that makes your mouth water. The finish is long with flavors of coffee and roasted nuts. The roll has a bite to it and full of cedar and leather notes with a slight black pepper finish.

The Bottom Line
The Cabaiguan Guapo delivers a lot of flavor and a very enjoyable smoke. I would highly recommend this cigar that like medium bodied cigars with a lot of flavor.

Thanks for the review. I’ve haven’t tried this one, but I’ve enjoyed the other Cabaiguans that I’ve smoked. It sounds like something I would like. I’ll pick one up the next time I see one.

Bought 4 of these about 2 weeks ago on a whim because my B&M ran out of Guapo 46's. I love the Guapo 46's so I'm looking forward to these.

Great review!

I really love this cigar the Guapos line is really phenomenal. Real Habanos flavors (like an Edmundo?). The Rx is really complex and is a dynamic stick. Oily wrapper, leathery flavors, charred nuts, and that floral/tangy taste after the pepper flavor. The wrapper is sungrown, and blows away the regualar Cabaiguan line, IMHO. Pepin got roots on this blend!
