Review Notes: This one was too sweet, and I like sweet. The sweetness actually deadened any taste that the cigar would have had. The appearance is great, its a good looking cigar and my wife enjoyed the aroma wich is always a plus. The draw was a bit loose on this Kuba, Im not sure if they are all this way, but it didnt get hot like I expected it to and I smoked it down to the nub. The artificial sweetner tasted did linger throuhout the entire smoke. I would smoke one again, but Im not going to be buying a box anytime soon. I considered the price to be a bit high at 6.50 as I could smoke much better "normal" cigars for that price.

Review Notes: I agree with smokehole: this cigar is best described as a dessert cigar. Alot of my buddies (who thing of swisher sweets and phillies when they think of cigars) buy Acids for special occasions. The Kuba Kuba isn't by any means a bad cigar, but there isn't that much to it. Its too flavored to savor the natural flavors of the tobacco itself, which in my opinion is what cigar smoking is all about.

Review Notes: Good looks, burn and draw. The taste sensations remind me of the old days when I was but a teenager with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children as we built a rifle range for the Navy puffing on Swisher Sweets, only better. Not a bad smoke if you're not put off by the different tastes and smells.

Review Notes: I do not go out and buy these but I do occasionally get them as a gift from my dear sister-in-law from Tampa. Pre light aroma is what you would expect, different. Not a total turn off but does leave one skeptical of what's to follow. The wrapper was much too sweet and detracted from the experience. The sweetness was more overpowering than the aroma. Construction was generally too loose but didn't affect burn. Flavor was ok except for the sweetness. I was surprised that the tobacco flavor was more prevalent than the herbal flavoring. Fairly mild with no bitterness. I wouldn't buy these for myself but I do enjoy the unique experience.

Review Notes: If you take the last three reviews or so you get the idea of what a vast difference there is in the appreciation or lack of it for this cigar. I happen to really like it as a dessert cigar for the right mood as "hound dog" implies. But, I can also imagine the surprise that "Slicer_D" may have had not being familar with the Acid line. I find that the majority of Acid cigars are quite tasty for the first two-thirds, then lose their taste and even become "hot' in the last trimester. This Kuba did not, it was good well beyond the band, and I nubbed it, which is unusal for this brand. The looks were great as was the burn and draw. Yes, it did taste like powdered sugar at the onset, I'm not sure I see the problem "Slicer_D?"(just kidding). You just have to remember that this is a dessert cigar and a darn good one.
