Launching of the Cohiba Piramide in Cuba

I was invited to attend the official launching of the Cohiba Piramide into the Cuban market at the Club Habana LCDH.

Leo and Jorgito were kind enough to provide me with some boxes of the H.Upmann 520 and the RA EL’s that I enjoy, as well as enough Monsdales to last me a week or two.

The affair was nice and low key except ofr a short speech by Sr Maique, VP HAS, whom I passed on regards from Rob.

Also there were Arturo Mejuto, formerly Havana House Canada, Arnaldo Osvalles, director El Laguito, the Chinese Ambassador to Cuba and a large Chinese delegation.

I attended with my Italian delegation, Renzo, the great Pasta expert, and newly arrived Fabio and Mauro, my beachgoing buddies.

Toby dropped by and over free Cuba Libres and a Cohiba Siglo IV we agreed to leave Havana for Vinales on the 5-th, have a beach bbq on Cayo Jutias on the 6-th, lunch at Hector Luis Prieto’s vega on the 7-th and play it by ear from then on.

Thanks for sharing Nino... surprising to me these are just now being launched there. Do you know the local CUC price for these? This is the one cigar (besides customs) that I was looking forward to getting.

Glad that you are having a good time down there.

Did you get a chance to smoke one? If so, what did you think?

See you soon brother.

I smoked one last night, tail end of a cold but couldn't help myself....some strong similarities with the Sig VI but also a subtle different profile that I am not familliar with in Cohiba...interesting cigar, price point is in between the Sig VI and the Behike/1966 line, not sure if that is a good position for this cigar to be in....need to smoke some more
