Yesterday, before the parents arrived for a little sojourn at our new house in KC, I enjoyed a Cubao while prepping a Flash class. It was a Cubao No. 1, and the sticker on the plastic wrapper noted the dimensions as 7 1/8 length by 49 ring gauge. I quite enjoyed it in the solace of the smoke shack, where I was protected from the blustery winds out here on the suburban plains of Olathe, KS.
The stats:
- Appearance - 5 \ Intimidating length, plain band.
- Burn - 9 \ fine -- especially considering the length
- Draw - 7 \ no problems.
- Plumage - 7.5 \ moderate plumage, with occasional clouds... solid tasty smell
- Flavor - 8.5 \ solid and likable. A fairly heavy smoke, with the flavor getting richer as it progressed.
- Overall - 8.5 \ Good stuff, if you have the time and atmosphere to enjoy it.
- RT Scale (1-4) - 2.5 \ Just on the cusp of greatness. I'd never turn one of the babies away!
I have some pix, but may just have to add them later as time allows. Been crazy busy lately!

Here are of few of me and the Cubao… As well some guest shots of Mom and Dad checking out some wedding locations.
