The Cubo, produced by Dapper Cigars, is offered in three variants: Claro, Maduro and Sumatra which identify the origin or type of the wrapper. However, contrary to what one might think, the wrapper is not the only thing to differentiate the three lines, as each is made with a different blend. Furthermore, each line is offered to the public in different sizes.
The cigar has a shiny and marbled Maduro shaded wrapper. To the touch it is quite smooth, with some veins present, but not too pronounced. Construction and filling are good. The draw appears slightly open.

Cubo Sumatra Corona: the nose captures notes of wood and cocoa, but also less pronounced spicy nuances
The cigar opens with spice and camphor notes, with wooden nuances. Strength is medium – light (2/5).
In the central section, the aromas evolve towards cellulose and hazelnut, followed by an earthy nuance that, however, remains in the background. Strength becomes medium (3/5).
In the last third, there is a new evolution of the aromas, where, in addition to the hazelnut, cocoa is added, not without a fleeting appearance of a coffee note. Strength remains unchanged (3/5).
In conclusion, this Cubo Sumatra Corona stands out with a balanced and refined smoke. Another noteworthy element is the creaminess of the smoke. Even the flavor profile, although not particularly broad, still returns well perceptible and evolving aromas.
