To celebrate the marca’s 20th anniversary, Habanos S.A. revealed a new limited edition size for the line, the 170mm (6 11/16) x 56 Cuaba 20 Aniversario.

Medium to full-strength cigars, using tobacco from the premium Vuelta Abajo region. A size rediscovered in the 1990s, Salomones have become a signature shape for those who like large cigars. The Cuaba version is your most reliable way to access this prized format.

Looking solely at its vitola, the Cuaba 20 Aniversario is a beautiful cigar; its curves don’t seem quite as pronounced as some salomones from other countries, but that doesn’t take away from the alluring figurado shape. The wrapper, while generally attractive, does have a few water spots that have tried to be hidden on the backside but are quite evident even from the side. The band, as you may have noticed, is unique to this release, with the phrase 20 Aniversario printed on it while maintaining some consistency with the standard Cuaba design. The roll is beautiful, uniform in fitness with flat seams and just a few veins, while the wrapper has a bit of mottling and a very fine grit feel on the fingers. The foot doesn’t offer many clues as to what the cigar might hold, while the wrapper is equally void of aromas.

The cold draw is much more helpful and complex, with notes of lightly salted peanuts, wheat bread and a touch of slightly bitter chocolate. At times it almost tastes like an artisan s’more, particularly as the chocolate has had a few moments to soak into my taste buds.
