Cohiba Pirámides - BRE Dec-17 (L&SRW2)

[Superhans]

Thought I would try a Cohiba Piramides I have yet to test from one of two 2017 selection boxes i have. Wrapper colour is a very light tan and feels quite dry compared to the others in the box.

 

1/3 initial dry draw is good but on lighting smoke output is very poor and quite thin with no real density. A real struggle to pick up any flavours in the first third other than a mild walnut. A bit of a chore.

2/3 better but still not great. Draw becomes acceptable about halfway down. Smooth but still very mild with notes of walnut and a soft warming spice. Few cracks in the wrapper from having the really massage a half decent draw.

3/3 much of the same as the second third and it just continues to feel so very parched. Picked up faint notes of aniseed and cedar but little else. Body is mild to medium at the very best. Last inch a oily sweet leather appears which is actually seriously enjoyable but just wish it hadn’t taken so long to finally get started.

 

Overall probably saved by the second half but really not in any way close to any of the others I’ve sampled from this selection box which beat this hands down.

 

Probably 81 would be reasonable. Too mild for my liking as well.

Wow--I've seen some Tijuana Cohibas that look better than that. 

The Seleccion series continues to disappoint.

Certainly not a looker.

I love these....but that example looks like it was baked in the martian sun

I was gonna say, I got JLS2 that look better than that. That’s too bad.
