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
