Noob Review 8 - Cohiba Red Dot

[stonedpirate]

Cohiba Red Dot Robusto

Well, not much to say about this one other than yuck. Worst cigar I have ever smoked. Tasted like one of those cheap wee willems in the tin. A bit spicy and not much else. Horrible. Hope my real cohibas dont taste like this thing.

I've been saying It for years, with Ghurka, the Cohiba,Red Dots, are the worst cigars for THE price on the market , at least you'd think by now , they would know how to make REAL cigars with all the info out there.They would REALLY have a lot to loose, but I'd love to laugh at a blind tasting contest with both .

You've got real Cohibas and you're smoking a Red Dot!?

Haha

All in the name of education and giving the real ones a chance to rest in my humidor. Actually am surprised by my self control.

If you keep on smoking CCs, you might find that there are precious few NC brands you'll care for anymore... and General Cigar does not distribute any of them

I try not to get into the CC/NC debate too much, as most things have their place.

However, I was on the phone once with an online retailer from the US and I told them what I liked to smoke (Boli, RASS, Party Shorts, and even lighter ones like Reyes, ERDM Choix Supreme, etc) and they basically talked me out of ordering much of anything (including these Red Dots), saying some of the highest end stuff in stock might be interesting, but to stick with what I had.

I tell people all the time - tobacco is a plant that is very different depending on growing conditions and that Cuba grows the best tobacco in the world. There is just something about it that has not been matched adequately by most NC
