Puros Y Vino Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 While in Mexico this past December, I brought along a dozen plus cigars. I decided to review two in a different way. I would smoke and illustrate what I was seeing and tasting. The result is a mixed media review using drawing pencils, water colour paint, the original bands and in the case of the Cohiba 1966, the pigtail cap. (when scanning it left a shadow,that is not pencil smudge) I hope you enjoy it. Please note. Title says RE, should be LE. Can't change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puros Y Vino Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for the feedback folks. It wasn't a terrible cigar. I expected more. Having been blown away by the BHK54 and 56 to a degree I just found this to be a bit of a letdown. It is however, the only 1966 I smoked. There's still a whole box to go. I'll sample them a bit more and see how they differ from the first. It could be very possible I had the dud in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almudawi Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Awesome Visuals! Frank, I agree with you on the 1966 being a lit down. However, I have smoked them right off the truck when they arrived here in Bahrain. I am still in for a box though and hope they end up turning into something special like the Montencristo Sublimes (They too were not all that when they first came out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habanos2000 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I enjoyed your take on a review. Always good to see something fresh. I also have to say the drawing in the upper right hand of the paper, which apparently is supposed to be the smoke coming off the cigar appears to me like a ghost's face! But then again, maybe I shouldn't be watching scary movies too late at night. As far as the burn and flavors are concerned, I'm wondering if the cigar was too wet? Either from storage conditions or ambient, being in Mexico. Did you have a chance to dry box it? I don't normally dry box cigars, but maybe that would be something to consider the next time you smoke a 1966. Great review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSARTech Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Again, very cool, Frank. Was hoping it turned out better for you - I think things will improve for the rest of the box for you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverickdrinker Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 nice review Frank. Sorry to hear that it wasn't to your liking. Hope the next one you fire up is a better experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isa Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Had my first 1966. Was very similar to Bundwallah's experience - leather, wood, spice, pepper - some caramel after the first half, but pretty muted. Left much to be desired in my opinion, given the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckearns Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Really great review, Frank and it hit all the marks. You took us on a journey that was very insightful and superbly unique. Thank you and I hope you prepare more of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion21 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Love the review Frank. Maybe it just needed more rest. Try another in a few months maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
