Popular Post Ferrero Posted August 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2017 It's been a while... Lauren is now in control of the editing, so give her a few reviews to get up to speed and a little encouragement. Enjoy! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetary Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Video feedback! Great first effort, Lauren! Audio quality is very good. The glorious lack of Bruce was observed and appreciated. I appreciate that Rob's "Welcome to FOH!" occurs over the "Join FOH today!" transition. Nice touch. Some variation in framing would add visual interest through the review. Not a problem by any means, but something to keep in mind for later. Excellent taste in outtakes. Always love a bunch of outtakes! Video has a(n unnecessary) black border around all sides. Going full-width/height is better, in future. I'm seeing encoding glitches at 5:52, 6:08, 6:26, 6:49, 7:34, 8:22, 8:30, 9:41, 9:52. (At least on the YouTube 480p stream.) Not sure if I recorded them all. The final third comments ended rather abruptly. Might be ok to include final third with final thoughts together, if the transition would be abrupt. Audio in the Final Thoughts section is out of sync at 6:45 until 6:58. Overall length of 11 minutes is good. I'm quite ok with much longer reviews, for whatever it's worth! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Gargett Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 i was about to say, wow greg, your best ever effort. then i saw that you had abdicated. all i can say is, Lauren, you must have lost a whopper bet with greg to get lumbered with these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctorossi Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Nice editing from where I sit- and good review, too. I've yet to be tempted by the Piramides Extra, but I'll stick to the '15s or '16s if I go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentdaffy007 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I smoked the Cohiba PE 2012 initial release last week. It was soo smooth. Not as creamy as the Siglo VI but just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hocky27 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Bummer to hear about the price hikes in Cohiba's ! Enjoyed the out takes section of the video. Good fun ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaDisco Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Another excellent video review! Nice work Lauren. Now, can you do something about the casting? I believe proper casting would improve things immensely as well as raising the overall level of the conversation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alloy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I've been through two boxes of these. One a 2012 and then a 2015. The 12's were awesome! The 15's were all floral and grass. Didn't think the second box was worth the coin. I'll spend my bucks on CCE's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btort910 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Cohiba +10%...moving farther and farther out of reach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99call Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I have to say. I have loved Czar's video's from the very get-go, Good on everyone for their efforts, El Pres, Ken, Smithy, Warren, etc etc, although you set out (doubtlessly) on a fun, carefree take on enjoying/reviewing cigars.......you've definitely amassed a priceless resource for the honest smoker. You turned me on to De Dieux, Royal Selection No 11, ..........cant thank you enough. Hats off......slow clap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every few months, I make a concerted effort to see if there's anyone good out there that I'm missing to add to my watch list, but nobody satisfies like the FoH gang. More reviews of regular production, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99call Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I love the fact, that with temperatures that are the height of our summer, you guys looked like your being trapped in ice. I'd be like Paulie Walnuts!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular price rise was thanks to HSA, and while there was a general price increase, the 10% jump was specific to Cohiba: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrody Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Original release was glorious. Pure cohiba. The following years, I agree. Decent, but not what it could be. Btw, I stoked my one and only CGR this year and it was a monster - best cohiba ever. Thanks for the review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busdriver Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The one I of these I smoked after having it in the humi for over a year was absolutely flavorless. I was shocked as these gents were, because I was expecting something unique whether to my taste or not. I wont judge the line on one stick, but not real motivated to smoke the other ones I have. Thanks for the honest vid, I thought maybe it was just me and not the cigar before I saw this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danimalia Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I do judge a cigar within the context of its price, and man, I just feel like this should be a cigar that resides in the mid to high 90s in terms of rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
