I have been lucky enough to smoke a few of these already. Today was the first time I have had a clean enough pallet to come close to a review. I had thought that they were very good cigars with the first few I tried but will now upgrade that to excellent. I am normally not much of a Cohiba fan as I find they don't open up for a few years and I can't find them aged often. I rarely buy cigars to age as I find that there are many cigars out there that will smoke great ROTT or I can find well aged already. These are great now and I think may very well continue to age into an incredible cigar. The tobacco is well aged as there is almost no ammonia to the cigars and these are very young. The draw and construction were as close to perfect as I have ever seen.
I did notice a bit about how young they were once I got to the last inch where it seemed to be a bit wet so it didn't want to burn really well. I shared with a few friends tonight so we went through 4 BHK 56 and 2 BHK 54's. The funniest thing was that the really fresh ( rolled on feb 25th) had whiter ashes then the one I smoked today from the Gala dinner. I really hope that they have enough of this same tobacco to keep these this good for full production as I could really smoke a lot of these.
