Casa Cuba
CASA CUBA
you are sure to enjoy. Using Ecuador Havana wrapper and a mix of Cuban-seed Dominican filler and binder, Fuente Sr. set out to recreate a taste of his early days in the cigar business.
The names of the vitolas are names of dominoes: Doble Tres, Doble Cuatro, Doble Cinco, Doble Seis. But of course, it isn’t just the art and names, it’s the tobacco. The wrapper on the Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba is Ecuadorian Havana, which none other than Don “Pepin” Garcia of My Father Cigars has called, “[T]he best cigar wrapper in the entire world” (certain crops of it, anyway).
Nice praise!
The Casa Cuba takes its place amongst storied cigar lines like the OpusX, Hemingway, and other luminaries of the Fuente brand. While it may not have taken the world by storm, we think that’s by design. This is a throwback to the old days of cigar making, long before the first issue of Cigar Aficionado was ever printed, and long before master blenders had the tastes of professional cigar reviewing panels in mind.
Instead, it’s simply a quality smoke that conjures flavors of Old Havana – and sometimes, that’s all you need.
