CoRo GOB OCT 21 (CoRW)

[Ford2112]

From a 24:24 purchase.  The last one.I smoked from this box was on a fishing trip with the boys and my landlord and I had one. Both were outstanding.  Setting can totally make a decent cigar great but in this case the cigars really were excellent. Fast forward to this evening.

After a nice dinner with a friend I went down to the waterfront to do a review. Dry puffs yielded a good draw and tobacco . Upon lighting I got a few good puffs in before I could make out any discernable flavors. Tobacco,leather,some white pepper.

1st third was a bit muddled. I had to touch the wrapper up a bit . Tobacco and straight leather,not very complex. Cigar felt a little wet and I probably could have dry boxed longer. Wonky burn.

2nd third. More of the same. Feel like it is in a sick period now. Flavors usually associated with a good Cohiba Robusto are not forthcoming. I had to relight the cigar a couple times. The humidity tonight was 73% down here so maybe that is affecting things. 

Final third. Cigar is a little bitter. Pepper on the retohale. More of the straight tobacco and leather. I feel like this cigar was holding back on the richness so I will not be touching these until next year. 

88/100. Nice night for it though.
