I've had one of those...it was enjoyable.Todd, normally I'm not a huge fan either, but last week I had one that knocked my socks off. It was a Cohiba Double Corona EL from '03...if you ever get the opportunity, smoke one. I actually dreamed about that cigar that night!
Save em for me ......I'll try anything once...er....four times...love dad:waving: :applause: :smokingme :clap: :hysterica :stretchgr :thumbsup:Yep, and before anyone else gets in before me, feel free to send all you have to me, I'll make sure they don't mess with your pallete. :wink:
Oh, and better send me all your Trinis too as I think they have alot of the same characteristics of Cohiba. :glassesgr
:rofl: Same here Bro!My Cohiba VIs will never become vintage. They want to, but I keep stopping it from happening.
I hope you like em aged Shawn...mine was 7 years old.I have had one cohiba that was young and merely tasted grassy to me.
I would compare an aged JL#1 or #2 to a young cohiba. I cant say for the older ones. I have 4 sitting that will wait for years to be smoked. I can't imagine paying those prices on a smoke that I am not convinced of. That's why I want to try all the old smokes I can. If they are worth it I will find them. If the cohiba is worth the price then let me taste it.
I don't think you want that to be quoted out of context... :nono:I hope you like em aged Shawn...mine was 7 years old.

Todd, I think I understand what you're trying to say but maybe I'm confused by your post. You're not appreciating the "vanilla bean and grassy flavor profile" of the cohiba which is indeed its trademark flavors. No other marca that I know of tastes this way which inherently makes it atypical. No different from a Bolivar that smacks of pepper, earth and leather or a HdM that exhibits a sweet wood and leather core. IMHO, I think each cigar stands out by themselves due to their differing blends and thus flavor profiles.I am starting to not appreaciate the vanilla bean and grassy flavor profile of this marca.
Maybe it was just my tastes this morning but it just came across as too atypical for a cigar to taste that way.
LMAO!!!Getting younger eh Todd???
