The magic of a great cigar (Cohiba Robustos Supremos)

[Fakhm]

Hello all, new to these forums. Introduced myself in another thread, 15 years smoking.

I went through my humidors today, spent a a good hour checking all the boxes and reading my note, I have this habit of writing down my thoughts after smoking a cigar from any given box as I age my cigars for extended periods.

I found a box of Cohiba Robusto Supremos from 2014, I had only smoked one upon release and the note on the box read “smoking well, significant potential, try in 2018”

 

Well its 2018, so I pulled a double shot of espresso and got myself some kenafa to enjoy while I smoked. The cigar absolutely blew me away, tons of classic Cohiba flavors, with overwhelming vanilla, cocoa bean, and dark espresso flavors layered over a robust Cuban tobacco core.

 

The flavors themselves where very enjoyable, but it was the clarity in which they where expressed and the perfect harmony that really got me thinking; how lucky we are to have these experiences! Anyone who does not appreciate  a fine cigar does not know what living truley is! 

 

I still think the Edicion Limitada program is a blow to dedicated cigar smokers, we would be better off if Habanos SA put that fine tobacco and effort into regular production vitolas. It would be wonderfull if we had a steady, elevated, selection to build personal inventories. That said, the Robustos Supremos are great cigars, and I do wish I had stocked another box at least.

Great first post and welcome to the forum, Fakhm! I have a couple of Robusto Supremos in my humidor that I’m saving for a special occasion. I’ll have to put them at the top of the pile for when the day comes.

Welcome.  You are lucky.  I wish I had a box resting

Nice read. I have a half box of these left. Not a fan of the ring gauge but it is a very flavorful stick that is aging well.

I’m also not a fan if the RG but I do have a box and a half and the last couple I had were great.

I have about half a box for 2013 Behike 52s. The two I've smoked this year remind me of your thoughts above @Fakhm. Just blown away by great Cohiba flavors and they all dance with such synergy. Nothing is out of place and it's everything that a CC is supposed to be. I can def relate.
