polarbear Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I'm curious if HSA will be able to get those benchmark Cohiba flavors in such a large format. Before the 1966, I would never have gone near a 52rg+ Cohiba. After the 1966 I find I'm curious. I'll prob grab one box and as they are 10 counts but it'll have to ve pretty special in order for me to buy more than 10
Gargano Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Not a fan of the RG. However, regardless of my tastes what's the chances this one will be underfilled?

Orion21 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Great price for that cigar if so for a large Cohiba EL. It's 5 inches long. It's basically a $30 RyJ Wide Churchill . . . 1
CaptainQuintero Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I'm no expert on NCs but there seems to be a fast growing trend for lanceros, the corona seems dead and gone but lanceros are becoming a solid addition to a many high-end brands catalogues. So maybe 5 or 6 years down the line the tables in Cuba will start to roll back again hopefully? Just hopeful thinking or could the days of looking like you're trying to suck-start a lazy donkey be very slowly changing with NC manufacturers at the helm of innovation?
Charltonc Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 According to all sources I have come across it is supposed to be 55x127. ugly cap. I will pass. No LES for me. I like my regional editions every once in a while, but the Limited Editions don't float my boat. I am sure that wont affect sales. Different strokes for different folks. 55 is much more manageable than a 58.
CaptainQuintero Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Rumour has it, it takes two people working in rhythm at the same time to roll a single one of these, with an additional third diminutive person sat under the rolling-table with a drum acting as a pace setter like in rowing 3
Orion21 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 No, it's a Cohiba blended EL lol...not even close to a RyJ wide...well, I guess I should actually smoke one before saying that. Me too I guess. I have just smoked enough EL's that taste so similar that I am skeptical. And yes I have smoked a couple of 1966's and they were good, however I would rather invest in good Sig VI's. 2
Smallclub Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Very excited about this. Another mans cigar! Not quite as manly as the BHK56 ... "Manly"? Having to open your mouth wide in order to take a puff is "manly"? I tend to think otherwise… 3
Lotusguy Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I threw up in my mouth when I read the size. The fanbois will buy it, as usual. Good on you, HSA - at least you might have the funds to actually keep some interesting cigars and vitolas around.
Popular Post Skyfall Posted February 28, 2014 Popular Post Posted February 28, 2014 I'd rather duck tape 5 RASS together and smoke them like a glorious pan flute!!! 6

DrunkenMonkey Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I hope no one buys any and they find they can't sell them. 2
Pedro2486 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I'll try one but I think it too big. The HdM grand epi LE is 55rg and I find that almost uncomfortable in the mouth. I enjoy the grand epi flavor profile but If it was the same rg as a epi #2 I think it would be much more enjoyable. I recon the same for this Cohiba 1
Blakes Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 So maybe 5 or 6 years down the line the tables in Cuba will start to roll back again hopefully? I think it's only a matter of time, how long? who knows but there's only so many fat cigars they can come out with before everyone wants something a little different. Look at the more recent Italy RE. A good point someone mentioned recently is how most country's increasing tax on tobacco is based on weight so going thinner will provide more affordable cigars for certain markets too, add to that the somewhat legendary status of some of Cuba's 42/43 rg and under cigars I think we will see them again. I hope. 1

Lotusguy Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 keep some interesting cigars around, interesting, to you right? lol Girly cigars, according to your definition Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
johnhenry Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 All I got to say about this is " my Cohiba ways a ton"!
