Name: Casa Turrent Cuba
Country: Mexico
Shape: Parejo
Size: Robusto (5 1/2 inches x 54)
Strength: Medium to Full
The Casa Turrent Cuba is a superior cigar, rich in flavor. I smoked it while enjoying Lebanese meze and arak with family and friends.
Before lighting the cigar, I could smell hints of caramel, salt, and pepper. The first and last few draws were somewhat peppery. The middle part was woody and nutty… and, of course, as smooth as can be.
Name: Edicion Roja Cinco
Country: Honduras
Shape: Parejo
Size: Robusto (5 3/8 inches x 52)
Strength: Medium
Earthy, smooth, with notes of caramel, coffee, and cedar… Deriving pleasure from the Edicion Roja Cinco cigar was easy business. It burned evenly and every draw was as good as the one before it.
Like it happens with most cigars that I like, I smoked it until there was nothing left to smoke.

I had to work overtime on Monday night because I had a deadline to meet. And I needed a cigar to go with it. I chose the Cuba Aliados that has been sitting in my cigar box for over a week. From its look and feel, I could tell it was a good one. It smelled pretty good, and it promised me a good time.
Let’s just say it was a cigar I could work with.
Overall, it was a decent stick, and it went well with peated whisky. It burned evenly, even though I smoked the whole thing rather quickly, in less than 45 minutes. I got hints of chocolate and leather, and, at the end, a nutty aftertaste.
