Cohiba 1966?

$496 at at least one reputable vendor.

You're OLD!

I've seen a couple vendors in the $520 area. These will sit around a long time at those prices.

No kidding. At $400 it might have been a Christmas splurge for me but at this level I'll buy something else.

Agreed. The Ramon Allones on the other hand...

the Cohibas don't interest me at all... WAY WAY WAY too expensive and I don't even like Cohibas to begin with... all I care about are the RAs and the HdMs... Both are great sizes and traditionally good blends.

I wish my sources would get the RA's in already.

And Cohiba does not?

Not a fan of Cohiba at all.... tastes like blended wet grass.

Haven't tried one yet. But a box is going for €360 here in Germany...$494.35 at todays exchange rate.

Even well aged Cohibas taste that way to you?

This is just... sad. :sadstare:

I might agree that Cohibas tend to need more age than other marcas... and can certainly have a hay taste in their youth - and I definitely always note that "barnyard" earthiness... but I think, if given enough time, they refine into a better balanced stick - with a lot of flavors left - than any other marca.

Tell you what... I have some Sig III from 2006 due to arrive shortly. PM your addy?

PM sent... can't pass up trying aged habanos and expanding my horizons.

You need to smoke some Cohiba with age, try something with 7-8 years and you will start to see what Cohiba is alla bout.
This marca should be aged.

agreed on the aging however, the latest cohibas have been fantastic ROTT.

These $700 a box in Alberta so I would expect that the online prices should drop to $300ish online given a bit of time.

The idea of this just made my mouth water and wallet explode. I've had exactly one Siglo VI and it changed my life. It had a small ammount of plume and I have no idea of the age.
