Cabaiguan Maduro 46

[pfm721]

Smoked one last night and it just didn't do it for me. I liked the flavors of chocolate and espresso but it developed this funny taste about 1/3 of the way in that I didn't like. It was like a cross between wet grass and black licorice. Anyone else have a bad experience with these? I will try a couple of more samples before I write it off but I was disappointed since I like the regular line so much.

Never had that happen. I prefer the guapo, but I have smoked many of the 46 and have never had a problem.

Bummer, I love the Cabaiguan Maduro's haven't had any problems out of them.

Back when they were originally released, I was given two to smoke and was very disappointed.

pfm721, I agree with your description as it relates to the "wet grass", I got plenty of that but no licorce for me. I have not gone back to them since than.

The Guapo is definately my favorite too!

Guapos 46 is one of the first cigars I had... those are awesome! I was wondering about the maduro... I'll have to head out to Lake Mary and pick one or two up.

Me too. I didn't know what they were, and at first I thought they were maduro Edges without the flavor and Vitamin N.

I really like the Imperiale, just ordered some Corona Extras. Never tried the Maduro and frankly I've been avoiding all maduros recently. Not that I dislike them but not my immediate preference these days. Sorry to hear when any stick doesn't live up.

If you haven't yet Mike, try the 601 BP....that, in my opinion, is a stunning maduro!

I second this. I was quite impressed with the power and flavor of this one.

I agree. These are second only to Padron Anniversary in my book.

Kinda liked this cigar. Try another one.

Love the 601 BP. I will give this stick another try. It had some promise just wasn't hitting the mark for whatever reason. Thanks for the input.

I bought 2 Cabaiguan Maduros having slightly lower expectations, compared to my love for the guapos. I loved them. Milder as expected, yet still carried the flavor I'd expect from the regular cabaiguans.


601 BP is on my top list as well.
