Cohiba Robustos ROA ABR 07: Aged Weekend Review

Jfeath74 · May 13, 2018

This Cohiba Robusto is from the Aged Sampler offering on 24:24 a few months back. This is the first of the sampler I’ve tried, Coro being one of my favorites, there was high hopes for something special. Visually appealing with a dark oily wrapper, nice sheen and silky smooth to the touch, appearing to have the making of a fine cigar.

I cut in and I’m pleased to find an open draw, with a nice salt note on the lip from the wrapper in pre draw. After lighting, a few puffs into the 1/3 I’m hit with this citrus orange zest note, that really was the backbone of the cigar for the majority of the smoke, fantastic. To make things better, there was a sweetness, almost vanilla like character which would come and go throughout the entirety of the cigar. The final third, the citrus note transformed into more of a espresso character, still very pleasant. It was medium bodied touching medium full at the end.

Perfect construction, open draw, sharp burn, with flavors that sang to my pallet to the last puff. Overall, the cigar was sublime, up there with the best I’ve had. Does it still have legs 10 years in? Yes, with no sign of slowing down any time soon.
