Who has tried one? Cohiba Wide Short

[El Presidente]

 

It still makes me chuckle 

Who has tried them? Thoughts? 

 

Cohiba Wide Shorts

They were handing them out at the Trade Fair but I didn't see any available for sale. I grabbed a pack and will probably sample today or tomorrow.

Another cigar that’ll sit.

At hardly 50% more tobacco, true, you feel taken advantage of (once again). 

Still, the Wide feels like considerably more cigar compared to the Short - plus.... you’re getting a more grown-up band. 😂

As a +/- regular small cigar smoker I doubt this will become a regular for me (there was a time, not too long ago, that you could get the fine RG Perlas for the same money). While I am a fan of the CoSho in terms of blend/taste, I always find them too short a smoke (compared to the Puritos/Chicos-format). So the CoWiSho might be a remedy for that, leaving pricing out of the equation.

So are they gonna start doing the RyJ Churchill naming scheme with everything now? Will we soon have a wide short, a petite short, and a short short?

This acronym is new to me. And also made me laugh.

If you are not fans of Cohiba shorts, you won't like them as well. Had one and that's how I felt...

I'd agree. Definitely Cohiba leaf but don't expect the quality of a Panetelas. Thought it was a bit dry tasting. Well packed and great ash.

I just ordered a 60 pack of them and honestly, I'm excited...I love shorts for what they are and I look at these as the same. I love panetelas but the problem is sometimes they are plugged. These I feel give the quality tobacco with never worrying of plugging and will be a great 20 min smoke.

I was given a pack and enjoyed smoking two of them at the same time. Everyone else that I've asked to do the same hasn't stopped doing it! 🤣

I thought you were kidding. Now I’m gonna try it

I'm kinda open to these considering that they are similar in format to the HDM Le Hoyo Du Maire which pleasantly surprised me/almost shocked me in terms of enjoyment & taste.  😚💨

Do it. I posted a review of them. Very surprised here too!

[Fugu]

Smoked more than one, and - I said it before - I am utterly disappointed so far. Perhaps the odd one out (two packs smoked, bought at the same occasion), and I should certainly try once again. The CoSho is consistently pure "Cohiba" to me. Always do I enjoy them (which I think is not a big surprise as the tobacco used is quite homogenized). These here? Hot, dry air! Which really has me surprised as I thought each of the two were utilizing basically the same tobacco.
