Popular Post ElJavi76 Posted July 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2019 Cohiba Esplendido EOS AGO 18 Cold draw was a tad of barnyard and hay. First third was slightly grassy but not overly green, if that makes sense. Draw was impeccable throughout. Second third got toasted tobacco and some slight sweetness. Could've been the humidity and how the cigar burned but I didn't get any pronounced sweetness out of this one. Last third was delicious and definitely became a bit fuller. Abundance of smoke. The pairing was with a limited edition Nespresso pod... Costa Rica. Strong and spicy definitely brought out some of those dark rich notes in the tobacco as we'll. For those who don't know, my first Cuban ever was a Cohiba Esplendido. I set the bar high. Best roller coaster ride I've ever embarked on. I picked these up in Havana last November and they're smoking like champs. I didn't even know there was a Cohiba comp going on and I looked. Perfect timing for an Esplendido. Cheers all! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin went to Cuba and picked up 3 boxes of Esplendidos. It was 2004 I think. I sold a box. My brother sold a box. We smoked the third box. If I knew then what I know now, we wouldn't have sold any. It happened like it was supposed to. Now when I smoke them, it takes me back to those years ago. 15 years doesn't sound like a lot on paper, but how so many things have changed since then. Love that I broke my cherry with an Espy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
