Cohiba Medio Siglo UBM OCT 17 : 48 and over review weekend

[havanaclub]

I have only smoked one of these Rott and decided to see how they are coming along. I got this from our host in a clearance deal on 24:24

 

I would say there are similarities with the CoRo but it’s not a smaller version of it imo. It’s more full and in your face, will be interesting to see how these evolve with 4-5 years on them.

 

 

Construction was excellent, tightly packed with a perfect draw. I decided to punch this sample.

Paired with some glenmorangie scotch and a moosehead lager to finish.

 

First third had all the honey sweetness with some serious pepper on the retro which I don’t get as much with a CoRo.

 

Second third was your classic Cohiba grass/hay with only hints of sweet tobacco notes.

 

The final third was like a blend of the first and the second thirds, picking up in intensity. The honey notes came back to the forefront and the retro still demonstrated the pepper note with a touch of a cookie like note. This is what prez must mean by biscuit.

 

Solid smoke with a slow burn and tons of smoke production. Just over an hour to nub this beauty.

Glennmorangie is my favorite scotch to pair with a Cohiba. For ~$30 US Glennmorangie 10, "The Original," is an amazing whiskey. Rich, full of honey and toasted brown sugar, light and floral; pairs so well with the honey and floral flavors of most Cohiba's.

 

Now you've got me thirsty and craving a Cohiba!

Yep, I had it with the Original. Much more expensive here in Canada than the states. You guys get stuff so cheap and relatively easy like Cubans too
I need another bottle...
