No Peaches, but loads of cream!
I have wanted to smoke a “barber pole” wrapped cigar for ages but hadn’t had the chance until last week and let me tell you, it was a real treat. These Equisto Double Capa’s From Cuban Stock Cigar were fantastic! Today I want to try something a bit unique so I will combine the reviews for these two cigars.

I smoked the short last week and the long today. The flavor profile on both cigars was fantastic, but at the same time both they were very different. From the first puff the short offered a steady steam of nuts and sweet cream while the long offered a mix of earth, mild chocolate and sweet cream. I would rate both cigars as medium bodied and full flavor with consistently good flavor from start to finish.
Construction on both cigars, as with all Cuban Stock Cigars, was top notch. Both stick contained only veins on the smaller end of the scale, the draw was perfect and the wrappers left a nice sweet aftertaste on my lips. The burn was dead-on for both cigars full length and I smoked them both down to a half inch nub.
Once again this is another top-notch, top drawer line of cigars from Cuban Stock Cigar and being my first barber pole wrapped cigars, I was very impressed!
