Cohiba Piramides Extra Tubos MUR ENE 13 from our host on a previous 24/24

What were thoughts on it? They look awesome! I grabbed some a few weeks back from a 24:72 and haven't broke into them yet, weather has been tough, dying to light one up!

Well, like many of us, I am usually drawn to Cohiba and I love the Piramides vitola. It has some grassy note and some sweetness. The construction and burn are very good. As I get close to the final third, some real sweetness on the finish. Not as super complex as a quality aged Monte #2 or Upmann but if you like the Cohiba flavor profile, then they are nice to have around but I would not go deep in them, IMHO. I have currently a 15 pack of tubos and a box of ten at home, which isn't much for me.

My favorite cigar, the Partagas 898, with my favorite smoking partner. The 898 is just perfection every time

Sounds great thanks!I have a box of UPE 12 just waiting to be lit up, really hoping for the age to hopefully bring out the sweetness, Im a sucker for that in the cohiba profile

I guess I could have read further down the page....  LOL

Funny. I have exactly the same quantity.  A '12 box and the 15er tubos from the recent 2424 sale.

I took the cigar out of the tube 2 days before I smoked it. Not sure how much it helped but the cigar burned almost perfectly. Grassy notes in the beginning with with some Cohiba honey and cream. The best part was the final third when the the finish was very sweet. Not the most complex Cohiba or Piramides but a nice cigar. However, for $30 per stick, I would spend the money on aged Upmann or Montecristo #2. IMHO

A great cigar in my book but some people have seen some that appeared underfilled

2008 RASS - courtesy of a trade with mattb.........perfect draw with a punch cut...lots of flavor...tons of smoke.

Could go another 5 years and still improve.  Went to the nub...

[BuzzArd]

Youngish RASS this eve.  Still some mongrel in there.  But definitely smokeable.

This one had great construction. Definitely not underfilled, it burned for well over an hour, had a great oily wrapper, tons of smoke, and tons of character. I've got a box from May 16' that I can only hope has the same qualities but I doubt I will touch them for a year or two. Kind of makes me a bit sad actually!

Haven't had one for a while. Almost forgot what incredible cigars these are.

Been 6 months sleep time with this...What a difference it has made.  Don't mind the M&M packaging, left over trick or treat surprise laying around!

Perfection, just like the other half dozen from this box have been. Need to find more!

[Lotusguy]

Nice but slightly damaged San Juan and then guess what.

Enjoying my second ever Royal Robusto at a local cigar bar whilst taking an exam for work. 

Excellent study conditions!
