The other night I was at Cigar Inn in NYC when I saw Pete Johnson of Tatuaje tweet that he was in New Jersey. After trying to find out if he was at a store or an event I pretty much gave up. I headed home and was ready to call it a night. That is until he called me out in a tweet..

The Tobacos Baez cigars are named for the small town where Jose Pepin Garcia was born. Baez, Cuba is in the center of the country and you would be amazed at how many cigar names come from the small towns of Cuba. Pulling up a map on Google shows a lot of names we all recognize.
The Tobacos Baez Serie H is produced at Pepin Industrial Park in Nicaragua at the El Rey De Los Habanos Cigar Factory.
Cigar: Tobacos Baez Series H
Size: 5.50 x 52 (Belicoso)
Wrapper: Habano

Often billed by cigar smokers as the best cigar made by Altadis USA I decided to give this cigar a shot.
Today’s review is a guest review by our Canadian friend from Twitter @Dalamscius. I reached out last night for a guest review as I am suffering the effects of a stomach virus. So let’s see what Daniel thinks of the Cain Maduro 660, eh?

Esteli, Nicaragua – Joya de Nicaragua, S.A. (JdN), the makers of the respected JOYA DE NICARAGUA® brand of premium handmade cigars, announced today that they will continue to slowly expand their release of their Cabinetta Serie® line to select retailers. Well known for their powerhouse Antaño® line, the Cabinetta Serie is an unexpected departure from their classic full-bodied style of blends. This new blend is a marriage of a creamy, milder filler recipe of tobaccos complemented by the spicy taste sensation of its unique double-wrapped, Habano-Seed leaf head.
