Popular Post PrairieSmoke Posted March 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2019 Cohiba doesn’t make it into my rotation very often so this was a great excuse to pull one out. I decided on a CoRo since it had probably been about 6-9 months since I’d smoked one. Cigar wrapper is slightly lighter than it appears in the photo. Cold draw pretty much just hay — no sweetness coming through. First Third Hay/Light Wood/Coffee/ are the notes that come in carry from first light toward the end of the first third. I am already finding myself puzzling over the absence of honey. If I’m reaching for a CoRo it’s because I want that divine combo of honey and citrus, but it’s notably absent so far. Second Third Graham/Citrus/Coffee/Lumber That coffee continues into the second third. There that light wood note reminds my of fresh sawn lumber. I am finally getting a hint of sweetness, but it is closer to graham cracker than honey comb. I also start to get that background citrusy orange/lemon zest. Final Third I wish I could say the honey came roaring in during the final third but I guess it just wasn’t happening in this CoRo. Final third is really similar to the second, with some lovely construction issues. Check out that glob of glue! Summary This, unfortunately characterizes my experience of Cohiba. I’ve had CoRo that were absolutely like biting into a honey comb - a symphony of flavors that would rival any cigar I’ve had. I’ve also had examples like this where it’s just a decent smoke that never really gets to where you are hoping it will. Here’s to better CoRo in the future!

Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk I don’t know about you guys, but on some of the best CoRo I’ve had you could already pick up the honey on the cold draw. If only we could sample before we picked up a box. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonk Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 What a shame, another disappointing Cohiba! Good job on the review, though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
