I had the good fortune to try my first Cuaba on a recent trip. Now of course I want more :)

I can obtain from my source, problem is I don't know which one I had! I figured, "Oh it's the little perfecto -- that'll make it easy."

Not so much, apparently.

What's a good Cuaba? I tend to like small RG (I'm fairly sure the one I had was less than 6" and less than 50RG but who can say for sure at this point).

Also, is there a difference in the blend? Or just the size?

TY in advance, Cuaba lovers.

Maybe Tradicionales, but could be something else just as easily.

Check out the Cuban Cigar Website, try to match the length you measure to the datasheet.
It definitely looks like the Tradicionales since it's the same length as the Upmann Robusto basically. I have enjoyed the Cuaba's I have smoked but I don't search them out for some reason. I've had a handful of 05 Divinos that are amazing and an older Salomones that was just as good.

And that Vegueros just came out as they re-released the brand.

Regarding the blend, I'm not positive if there are differences but from my understanding, they are basically the same blend but can taste different because of the big variance in sizes. Obviously a Salomones is going to have a lot more filler than the little Divinos.
