Cohiba Pyramidas EL 2006

[Jaksen]

I am allways excited about a Cohiba cigar. I find the siglo line to be a bit grassy and boring. But Cohiba’s EL’s and the “Maduro 5″ line is simply some of the best cigars in the world.

This is an old friend which has been resting in my humidor for a speciel event. Today I just signed a new exciting contract, starting a new job. It is time to take the pyramidas under the torch…

Salty maduro wrapper on the lips. Light cocoa and caramel on the first puff. The first inch gives me green pepper, more caramel and cocoa. A bit of sweetness and lots of oils. The spicy salty taste has a light licorice nuance but keeps coming at you in a heavy warm bitter cocoa and spicy caramel flavour as the smoke progress.

The second inch is heavy on sour espresso and more bitter cocoa. This is really a full body cigar with lots of nuances. Be careful not to burn your tongue. It took about an hour to finish the smoke down to the nob and there is a long aftertaste of sweet chocolate. I rate it 93.

Wonderful first review (if it is- I take it?). Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your new job- no better way than to go with a Cohiba Piramide- such a beautiful cigar, inside and out.

Tell us a bit about yourself...

Thanks for the replies ;o) I have been working as an art director for over 10 years and a couple of weeks ago I sold my ad agency (5 years old) and are becoming creative director in the merger of the two companies. Today was my first day and I must admit that it is just not the same. Yes, the security of a steady paycheck is lovely, but there is just something about being on your own, fighting against the elements!

Thanks for having me. I hope to learn from all of you, and maybe you'll learn a little something from me ;o)
