Cohiba Robusto

[jwm8592]

I had one of these for the first time over the weekend, it was from a 3 pack from Lisa box codes PLM DIC 06, WOW!! what a great cigar. Complex as they come with the tastes ever changing. It started out spicy with some peppery tastes, evolving into some woodsy, even cedary tastes. All the while maintaining a back drop of super creamy smoothness that I can't say I have ever experienced. About the half way point or a little beyond it had a subtle sweetness added in, it almost seemed like a clove taste, but not sure. This sweetness carried thru to the end. What a divine smoke. Wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience with this cigar, or even from these codes, or a late 06 sample? Thinking of pulling the trigger on a box if Prez still has some from late 06. How would one compare these to the Siglo VI, I have heard the the VI's are to die for.

I have only had 5 good CoRos and they were from 5 boxes of the Sellecion Robusto cases.

Never have I had a good or even tast y Siglo 6. Tried many of them and no luck here

I am a fan of the CoRo, and I don't think you can go wrong with a box, really regardless of codes.

I am no fan of the Siglo VI.

Nice!

I initially did not care much for this cigar and thought they were not worth the coin. I thought the SIG VI was where it was at.

Now the SIG VI (and V and III and I for that matter) are good solid smokes and I will continue to acquire them.

But low and behold, I revisited the CoRo this past year and fell in love with it! I find there is more body to this cigar than I was able to discern initially.

I really must pull the trigger on some of these and I would love to find some with age.

found a box last trip to havana from 2000. only smoked a few (the rest away in an inconvenient spot so i don't go through them in a few weeks) and they have been spectacular. liked coro's till these. now love 'em. and always a big fan of the sig vi.

thanks for the note and heads up i'll give some a try!

[El Presidente]

They have been downright excellent. To me still the consistent king of Robusto both Cuban and non Cuban.

I will take one over a Siglo VI any day. I adore the flavour complexity and richness.

Never liked them and i did try 2 boxes but i dont see what most see about them.

[bassman]

To me the CoRo is a good smoke, but not worth the premium over other robustos. Never cared for the VI at all. More for you guys!:-D
