2001 Cohiba EL Piramide - ECA MAR02

[rallones]

Had one of my Cohiba EL Piramides (original release) today. These have been in my walk-in at 60/60, in double Ziplocs, since acquisition.Had dry-bagged it for a week.

It was spectacular. Very rich, but above all else, perfectly balanced. I tasted spices, fruit, a little coffee and chocolate. Not distinctly Cohiba, but outstanding nonetheless. Seems like it has the legs to smoke well for another 5 years, at least.

Way back in the day, I had two boxes each of the Cohiba EL Double Coronas and Sublimes. i sold them (and made a hefty profit) a long time ago, and sometimes wonder if I should have. Not anymore. This Piramide was as good a cigar as I've ever had, one that left me completely satisfied.
