brazoseagle Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Cohiba 1966 EL Cigar Review: Flipping Fantastic - Beautiful construction, sexy wrapper, great pre-light smell, Perfect Draw!!! 1st 1/3rd - stronger than I thought, but not overpowering - Creamy, sweet, milk chocolate custard, no harshness, no bitterness, just essence of pure aged tobacco and milky, rich, eggy chocolate. 2nd 1/3rd - Much of the same - complexly smooth - chocolate pudding with the slightest hints of coffee. This cigar is complex and refined. Better than a Behike, stronger than Behike - it's like the Behikes Crazy Uncle that everybody wants at their party, the good times King, if the Behike shows up, well great, but people came for the 1966. Final 1/3rd - Even burn, still very much milky complex chocolate rich custard, but now with very prevalent tastes of creamy cappuccino. Which is fantastic. I will say this, it wasn't until the final 1/3rd that I said, these could be laid down for a couple of more years and be ridiculous. If the parts of this cigar were a concert, it would be Tears for Fears opening up for Bruce Springsteen, opening up for U2! Rating = 98/100 - F'ing Glorious - Hour and 20 minute smoke of pure Awesomesauce These are pricey, but worth it definitily for a special occasion - "Treat Yourself" - smoke!!! Go get some right away! I like these better than the Behike, I think becuase they are stronger, which I like. For me and my taste preferences, they are in the same realm with the Monte Sublime, Monte C! <br class="Apple-interchange-newline">Resized to 42% (was 1936 x 2592) - Click image to enlargeized to 42% (was 1936 x 2592) - Click image to enlargeResized to 42% (was 1936 x 2592) - Click image to enlargesized to 42% (was 1936 x 2592) - Click image to enlargezed to 42% (was 1936 x 2592) - Click image to enlargeesized to 42% (was 1936 x 2592) - Click image to enlarge
CanadianKodiak Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Oh, how I wish this cigar was in my price range. But here in Canada, you have to remortgage the homestead to get your hands on a stogie like this.
darinjanssen Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Sweet review Dave! Set one aside for me and I'll be happy to have a back porch smoke when I get back to TX.
