Popular Post SigmundChurchill Posted January 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2019 Cohiba ‘Ano Del Cerdo’ Robusto I would start with the disclaimer that this was smoked ROTT. The aroma was a beautiful strong barnyard smell, typical of the marca. The construction was very good. The draw was perfect, neither too loose or too firm. The burn, while not perfect, was better than average. The first 1/3 was dominated by black pepper and leather, with some honey undertones, just begging to come out. The second 1/3 was a lot more honey, cocoa, and citrus. And while the first 2/3rds was a very pleasant smoking experience, the final 1/3 is where the cigar really shined. The honey flavor continued, but there was strong fruity and floral flavors that dominated the cigar. Overall, would I say that this cigar differed from other CoRos? I don’t think I would go that far. In general, I find CoRos to be inconsistent, even within the same box. So I would say that this CoRo was about equal to the more outstanding CoRos I usually find within a box. If the others in the box are consistently as good as this one (or better), then I would say that this box is worth the premium. 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are awesome looking and I bet they are fantastic since they are from the H.Upmann factory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious how they are, do they need more time for aging? The 1st half of it was quite an elegant mild favour. It started to kick in entering the 2nd half til the last quarter that became too strong to smoke. This could age well for a few more years for even more pleasant smoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very interesting to read about the flavours you got from this particular CoRo! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
