This is one of the newest Fuente cigars. While it is a normal production cigar it is only available to retailers who purchase 25 boxes or more of Fuente product, which is the same way with the Opus X line.
Casa Cuba is available in four sizes; 5×50 Robusto, 5 ¼ x44 Corona, 6×52 Toro, and a 4 ½ x52.
The cigar has a nice feel in the hand. It is a lighter shade of a medium brown color. The cigar is finished with a triple cap.
The cigar has a nice density.
The test draw after cutting the cap was a bit firm but workable. The first flavors at light up were a very sweet cedar with some effervescence, dry oak, and coffee. The finish has a lot of dry oak and light cream in a 60/40 split. The pepper is rated at a 7 and it appears to be black pepper.



The ash finally fell off at the 4" point! It remained intact until just before the upper band. Quite impressive.
The cigar ended with notes of the sweet cedar, dry oak, and a coffee base. The pepper remained very good between a 6 and 7 throughout. The finish remained constant. The cigar ended medium bodied at best. This cigar is all about sweet cedar and dry oak. These cigars are not easy to find but when you do they are worth your time to smoke. Good cigar.
Score: 90
