Popular Post rcarlson Posted November 21, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 21, 2020 Picked a six pack of these as an add on at the start of the Covid lockdown to smooth the transition to a more sedentary day to day. The wrappers were darker than any Cohiba I had ever seen. Didn't know whether to be disappointed or intrigued. I opted for the latter and gave them time to relax in the cigar spa for a special event. Since it was another day of the week on the green side of the grass, today was special enough. This near-maduro colored Coro opened beautifully. Sweet cream, mild hay, lemon grass and barely perceptible nuttiness. Well rolled and just the right heft. I've learned that Cohibas benefit from a slow smoke so I adhered to the rule. Ever-so-slight uptick in intensity through the middle. Sweet cream the most characteristic aspect. Perfect for dessert on a slow smokin' cool night. Finished as well as it started. A nutty, espresso came increased with the warmth and nicotine build -- but that beautiful sweet cream refused to take the bench. No doubt one of the best Coro I've had. The dark wrapper be damned. Incredibly satisfying. A solid "A" on the final in this class. 14
mprach024 Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 ?????? Nice review Rob. Makes me want to look for some darker wrapper examples, I certainly have nothing in my stock that dark. Glad you had a good smoke!

Personally, I don't think I'll hunt for the dark wrappers. Was just pleasantly surprised it was so much better than I expected, in fact better than the others I've had with traditional Cohiba wrapper (maybe 20 over the course of 15 years). Was it just the wrapper? Hell if I know. Doubtful. I am a wrapper skeptic. And we all know CCs are like Russian Roulette. Consistently inconsistent. But I'm looking forward to the next, and since I splurged on Coros with the anticipated Cohiba price spike on top of what we've already seen, I'll have the chance to give 'em the old Pepsi challenge. 2
