Cohiba Robustos Supremos EL 2014 (BGRW)

[Wilzc]

 

 

 

 

Thicccc stick. A little bit thicker than what I would have preferred. Prior to these being a part of my collection I suspect they were not kept as well as they can be. The humidor they were kept in thus imparted a little bit of that ‘really old cedar humidor’ scent about it. Still, aesthetically these look perfect. Colorado wrapper with a sheen.

 

Draw is perfect all the way through!!

 

Initial puffs give of earth and coffee. A lot. Of coffee. The dalgona coffee I’m having further accentuates the coffee. This.... Dalgona coffee thing has been trending ever since the quarantines started being enforced all over the world. Basically a thick, whipped up coffee foam topping over milk.

 

An inch in, this is one smooth cigar, I hate using the word smooth to describe cigars but smooth this is. Mellow but medium bodied. All the flavors don’t really pop out individually but rather just melds together to create an enjoyable puffing afternoon.

 

 

 

Midway point, a little sourness appears. Slight hay. Sour earth. Cacao notes in and out and fleeting about.

 

Last 3rd, Leather notes coming through. Some wood. But mostly coffee.

 

Burn line is thick but really well behaved. I think I’ve only touched up once or twice. And that’s only because I’m ..... OCD about maintaining that straight burn.

 

Final smoke time: 90mins.

 

Final thoughts: 90-93 points. Started off amazing but disliked that sourness from the midway point onwards. Would have liked to try these a couple of years earlier to see if there’s more punch to this cigar while still maintaining the smoothness. Should have also smoked these indoors but.... really the porch is all I have for now

 

Will be revisiting this stick again soon enough!

Great review mate! Do you think it is good Cohiba LE as 1966 and Talisman in your opinion? By the way, it seems you accidentally posted same Cohiba LE post (had experienced once before due to lagging).

1966 is the legendary EL, but I also never had that EL, which is unfortunate ?

1966 is awesome and I prefer it to the Talisman or Supremos.

I hope I can see 1966 on Bond Roberts at least!

I concur. Still the best cigar I've had. Smoked it so far down to the nub that I almost burnt my fingers. It never got hot or bitter.

Great review, this is one of the cigars that I always regretted buying a box of.

Crikey 6 years ago, it seems like the uproar about the ring gauge like it was 18 months ago :s

Nice review. Put on some pants ?

Just got a box in from the locker. Trying to decide whether I open it or off to Bond Roberts.

Posts have me thinking the former, don't think I've ever smoked one.

So I broke down and cracked the box. Just getting going and so far seems like a good decision.
