Cohiba Robusto ESO DIC 13 (COHRW)

[Chucko8]

Have had a couple from this box which came into my possession early this year. They haven't been exceptional but pleasant enough all the same, so time to try another.

Smell at the foot pre-light gives off a mild manure smell and cold draw a light cedar sweet.

1/3 - Cedar, honey and hay

 

2/3 The grassiness which I associate with the CoRo is out in force there is a very smooth creamy feel to the smoke which is also quite thick and pleasing. I now have milk chocolate/coffee and a vesty cuban twang coming through. Life is feeling very pleasant.

 

Final 3rd the flavours stay pretty similar to the 2nd though intensify on the coffee profile leading towards a little bitterness. The grassiness gives way to become more wood like to my mind.

 

Overall this has been the best CoRo I've had this year and certainly the best from this box. Burn and construction of the stick was great, no relighting / touch-ups required at any stage. Lovely white ash and the smoke content as mentioned earlier very pleasing and full.

I'm scoring it a 90.
