DrStogie Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Good evening all, So what's the deal with these sticks? They've got to be the only Cohiba I've heard virtually nothing about and I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I've just found a box of 25 from a reputable seller for just $250 which strikes me as an insanely good deal for Cohibas. What do you guys think? Is it worth it?

Fuzz Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Welcome to FOH. Perhaps an intro here would be a good start? In answer to your question, small panetela released in '89 that can be found for less. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RijkdeGooier Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 To be precise the original Soane sized Cohiba. With age spicy little fellows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 They are fantastic cigars but awfully small for the price. Better deal is the Siglo II. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Used to smoke quite a few Exquisitos around 07-09. They were quite good, although Cohiba was really pumping out some quality stuff around then. They are a small cigar and are not really as good a value anymore. When I was buying them they were about $160/box. Now, you can't find them for less than about $210. That's about a 40% price increase in 10 years--more than just about any cigar I think. Now, I agree--the Siglo I or II is a better value. I always found the Exquisitos and Panetelas to be a bit richer and stronger in the Cohiba grassy flavors, however. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC4 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Very good tasty cigars. But too expensive for the size IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely concur with NSX here. My personal preference for Cohiba if and when I smoke them is to go for the linea classica vitolas because they are the fullest in taste and when developed well, represent the pinnacle of cuban tobacco to me. At least as strong as a Lusi, richer than Monte and complex like ERdM. Just wonderful smokes. Pricing doesn't enter into the equation when smoking a Cohiba for me.
