Cohiba Media Siglo LAT ABR 19 (BCCRW)

[SpecialK]

Got these in a Box of Petite Robustos to sample. Since my son happened to be in town I decided that we should give them a go.. As there is no better time than the present  This was my first real Cohiba , sure I've smoked some "brought back from the island" from a friend who's kid knew somone at the factory etc... 

I have to say I was impressed and sad at the same time.. loved the flavor profile and the burn everything was top notch... I was sad when I saw how much they cost 😐

I was busy bonding with my son and coming to a consensus on what we were tasting .. Unfortunately didn't get but one picture of the 2 prior to lighting.

Here goes (doing halves as it was such a small format)

Pre draw:  Coffee/Grass/Barnyard

Construction/Burn: no issues and the burn was even and consistent for both of us for the most part

First Half:

Coffee, Honey, Nuts, and Leather

 

Second Half:

Honey and Coffee continue along with a cooking leaf spice.. mint ? oregano? I can't put my finger on it..

 

Smoke time : 50 minutes (we are slow smokers  )

 

Score: 95/100

I've only had a couple of Medio Siglo, but I got some sort of mint flavour too! I wondered if it was because I smoked them too fast.

I was weird... kind of like the McCormick dried seasonings.. oregano etc... I felt like I was  in a dried spice store or somthing like that...

They're so tiny! So cute. I would have gone through those I'm about 30mins or less. Your reserve is a virtue.
