SmokeHouse84 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Hello all! I would like to get anyone's opinion on this. I purchased a cab of cohiba robustos back in March of 20, from an online vendor in europe. They spent 3 weeks in the mail before I got them but we're vacuum sealed very well so I was not concerned about anything drying out. I am not a new smoker, to me everything looks authentic from black light testing to the cab itself (except the barcode was removed I am assuming gray market), and the construction of the cigars, look great, except everyone has had a tight draw. I have smoked about five already since April and they all taste extremely bland and full of tannins, I have smoked many cohiba robustos in the past, and never had this problem. I store them at RH of 65, 65f I have even dry boxed several for a day or two for smoking. Should I worry about them being very well made fakes or are they stuck in one of the maturations of aging? I will attach some pictures. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairo Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 They look legit to me--I would hide them somewhere where you will forget about them--and then have a great surprise when you find them a few years from now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeHouse84 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Thanks for your reply, that's the way I was leaning but I have never smoked a cigar that was in the aging process like these ones where the taste is diminished so much. I will have to make these a time capsule project.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Received my first order from FOH recently and I was very very very pleased with it. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
