Cohiba Robusto EBM NOV 17 (CWRC)

[Lucass111]

A very young Cohiba but I don't have many aged for much time yet. They smell amazing. I love the smell when I crack the box. That wonderful barnyard and hay aroma. The construction is great. The cold draw was the typical cohiba grass/hay. The draw was tight but who's really that surprised. The first third was hay and grass with bits of sweetness. The girlfriend was in love the smells. So much she even had a few puffs. The second third was more of the same. A touch off coffee as well. Not too much sweetness. The final third was a bit harsh. I got some hot flavors coming though. Some nutty flavors along with bitterness. Possibly my own doing. A mediocre smoke. I never really got the sweetness I was looking for. I can't wait to see what more years of rest will do for these. They definitely are not ready. I would rate this 86-87 out of 100.

I am smoking one now from 2015, and I think it needs more time.
