I don't think I have ever had a real Cohiba. I have had several ISOM cigars but only 1 really blew me away and I have no idea what it was because the bands were removed before it was given to me. I do know it was legit and it was the cigar that made me decide to get serious about my cigar smoking. I would love to experience that great cigar again if I could only figure out what it was.
Some cigars are just epic.

Ben u never cease to make me drool.
That Cohiba is THE EL. No others compare.
I dont share your enthusiasm re the 66 as of yet. What makes you like it? I will submit that the tobacco is excellent, however still cannot decided if this will develop well. It is already so subtle and refined.

Honestly, the Maduro5 line is just too different from the rest of the Cohiba lines (classic range, and the siglos) to really compare IMO. Not a fan of the maduros myself, but the classics and 1492 lines can be really fantastic.

It had so much to give, and I felt that in time, when everthing settles this is what a perfect cigar will taste. That said...guys make sure you dont buy them so the price drops...I need to put away a couple of boxes of these :stretchgr

Duke. 2009 if I am remembering correctly.
rofl!
I looooove the 07 Genios right now (is the maduro5 not the same, then I apologize). Having a hard time not smoking it. I think it shares a LOT of characteristics with the 1966 to be honest with you. It's so gentle, has that fresh bread taste, and the smoke is very cool. Anyone else see that, or is that just me? if you gave me a Magicos, I wouldn't be able to distinguish it from the 1966 right now.
Man, I don't see the room for improvement. Maybe that's why I had a hard time with Rob's deal last week. It's almost TOO good right now. I mean, it's like, pure flavor right? And it's refined...perfect...I just wanted to hate on it. What else can it turn into? Am I crazy? :eyequiver

Well the cigars from our box was all bitter in the end, I can see that getting much better but I have had the experience with the TRT that you had with this stick. I just dont see how that cigar could get any better when I had the one that I wrote a thread about.
