Cohiba Piramides Extra Tubos RUM JUN 17 (CWRC)

[mrmessy]

This was a split from a tubos box. Kept in the tubo in the humidor. What a hefty cigar. It's about the max size that I would prefer. The construction looks fantastic. Well packed, no seams, and only a slight visible vein.

 

Used the Siglo V cut, thanks@raskol. The cold draw was of dried apricots. The aroma of the cigar was very nice but I'm the lighter side. Bit of barnyard and earth.

 

On the light, I was surprised at the lack of strong flavors. It was a grassy earth that prevailed for most of the smoke.

 

Well into the first third and through the second third, there was an ammonia like taste. Not the best, but I take it that this cigar just need some more time down.

 

The second third did bring in some leather along with hay and grass. The burn started to get a little wonky and a touch up was necessary. But otherwise, construction and draw were still great.

 

The last third brought on a surprising spice. Maybe it's from the heat, I tend to draw strongly on cigars. The spice didn't last long.

 

Overall a young cigar that needs more downtime. Maybe being in the tubo requires a longer testing period or I'll try taking them out of the tubo to let the flavors develop more. I'm mainly surprised at how light the flavors were. I think in a few more years it will be much more enjoyable.

 

BTW, if you haven't tried Foursquare rum, I can't recommend it enough. I'm not a fan of the overly sweet rums that exist. Foursquare doesn't add any additional sugars or colors. And at 86 proof, it is a dangerously easy to drink rum.

Nice review! Big fan of Foursquare's Exceptional Cask series too, some really good rums.

The Piramides Extra have big potential for me. I've had a few that were exceptional.
