La Aroma De Cuba ....?

[goodsmokes]

So I was gifted this wonderful little smoke and finally decided to light it up. I usually know what I am smoking before I light up. I am familiar with the brand, but its finding the size and name of the stick I am having trouble with. I should have measured the smoke before I lit up, but did not know I would have this much trouble finding which one it is. The closest measurement I can find to this is about 4 1/2 x 42, which is the La Aroma De Cuba Edicion Especial Minuto. This fell right under 4 1/2 (even factoring in the clipped cap), according to my ruler. I would have just assumed that this was a EE Minuto, being thats the smallest size I found so far. Only thing is, I know the new blend EE comes with a second band, and from pics I am finding it also says Edicion Especial in the main band. This smoke had neither. Also no red band on the foot. The cello was nice and yellow so I know it has some age. I apologize for the crappy pics, but if anyone wants to school me a little on this smoke I would appreciate it

Definitely not the EE, the EE band has always said Edicion Especial on it. That to me looks like the old Corona Minor that was 4.5 x 44, pretty sure the size was cut when they went to the new blend and Pepin started making them.

Thanks Craig ! I did not even know about a Corona Minor in the line. I think that's it. I'm not good with ring gauge but the closest smoke I was comparing the RG to was a LAT44. Appreciate the help brother. It was a fine little smoke

This was my first one from the old blend. And sweet and kernel flavor is about right. I'm not good with flavors but when I just read your post, I tasted the cigar again as I read that description Agreed, great little smoke !

Yeah, also for reference the EE always has 2 girls on the band and is the only LADC to have that. The original release EE did not have a secondary EE band but it does say Edition Especial on the primary band iirc. This is likely the original LADC prior to it being named the 'new blend'.

Shit now I want to get another box of roths. Thanks a lot you guys!

Here's a pic of the EE Lancero I am enjoying right now. Confirming that Edition Especial is on the band. Also showing that no secondary EE band is on the earlier releases. A great cigar!!

In the beginning... it was just La Aroma de Cuba. I don't remember them originally having the red band on the foot. Maybe the old blend before Pepin?
