It is quite nice to be able to review a cigar with which we were quite impressed, and even more so, these were not even Cuban, so our American friends can purchase them with ease. Hurrah!
La Rica Tubitos are a small 32 gauge panatela. They are composed of Nicaraguan hybrid filler (mixture of full leafs and short bits) with an Ecuadorian wrapper. They are also hand-rolled, and very tightly packed. This gave them a nice thick strong-flavoured smoke that was entirely pleasant. They are moderately tarry, but this was not a problem because they were only slightly over 4 inches long, and finish before the tar builds up to irrigating levels. Finally, they were well packaged (a very important bit of production most cigar manufacturers overlook) in that they came in well-sealed tubes and should last a considerable time before going dry without the aid of a humidor.
We recommend La Rica Tubitos; while there are certainly better cigars out there, one cannot beat the cost. they should cost you only around £2 each.
