Cohiba... the name that cannot be separated from Castro, nor can it be separated from its know Cuban made cigars. I live in the United States, so I cannot get Cuban cigars. This one is from the Dominican Republic and has a Cameroon wrapper with Dominican filler and Indonesian binder.
I decided to try this smoke so I picked up a robusto. The construction was wonderful and so even. Not a flaw in it. The packing felt tight as well.
The first puff and I realized the great draw. It took half puffs as to not smoke it too fast. The flavor was strong in cedar with a hint of cream. The finish was creamy with the cedar flavor staying in your mouth.
The burn was very even. No matter how slow, or fast, you smoke, it is perfect every time.
With grading, this is an A+ cigar... except for the price. Most people are on a budget, and if not, they like to keep it under $20. Even with that, if you pay $20 you usually get a Churchill or toro sized cigar. This cigar was a robusto and it was $25. Most people are not willing to pay that, so that brings this final grade down... far. So, the cigar in and of itself is an A+ but because of the price, it takes a hit.
Final Grade: C-
