Which Cohiba???

[ciggy]

I only chose thies three because they are simular in size. Three very expensive stix with alot to offer if you could afford all three. Well I can't and if I were to pick a box up it would be a once a year deal for sure. You could easily buy 2 or 3 box's of other great brands for the same cost as one of these. So if a persone was to spend the extra coin as a yearly treat, which would you choose and why, and for it's flavor...not bragging rights?

I picked the VI, it's the only one I've tried. Always consistent.

Ben smokes the LEs....I am curious as to what he has to say.

Good luck, Tom! (I only need a 5er!) :cbig:

Vintage Cohibas are soooo good and expencive but the LE 2006 is imho better then Behike. Behike is really good, Piramides absolutley amazing. And when a Behike costs twice as much the Piramides tastes 10 times better.
If you wnat to buy a box of Cohibas make sure to buy the box that has 5 years on it or more. The grass taste in young Cohibas is not good. I like Esplendidos most and Lancero after that, Siglo VI and II is also very good. But Cohiba needs time.

I say get the siglo vi and if you do choose the sig vi make sure you get the tubos! They are much better than the cabs in my experience! I haven't figured out if its simply because they are locked up in that tubo and that has benefited them or what but they are simply better.

Get an aged box of VI. Behikes are to be tucked away for 5 years.

I am not a huge Cohiba fan but I will always have BHK 56's in my Humi. SigloVI I can always buy off the shelf and really the 06EL has kinda been a flop. They are still on the shelves here and if they had been a great release they would have been sold out on the primary market by now.

Are you kidding, just take the habanos discountinued list and most ot the cigars on there are really really good. Everybody likes different cigars but saying that because there is still some to be found and for that reason they are not good is wrong.

 

[MattBell]

I'm going to vot Sig VI only because I have a couple of 2006 EL's, and I would much rather have an affordable smoke instead of a $40/stick smoke. I can't see me buying a box of EL to just smoke. Unless I moved to another country where they weren't so expensive.

I hope that makes sense. I'm kinda tired.

IMO, the Behike does not have the Cohiba profile that I am used to. I voted Behike because of the three choices listed, that is my favorite one.

If price is key, get the Sig 6. If rarity is key, get the EL. And it is always good to have a Behike box laying around.

I would say most of the discontinued list is in thinner RG's while while many do like they just don't sell. Cohiba being the flagship brand of Habanos usually sells out quicker then most other things. I think that for it to be harder to find BHK 56 the the old EL means it was not well received. The same can be said for the 03 reserva Selection. Which I happen to find a bargain after all the time they have been sitting on the shelves. Not saying the pyramide isn't a good stick it is just not one of the cigars collectors are expecting to be epic.

None of the above! The Piramide in the Cohiba Reserva boxes is much better than the EL. Siglo VI & BHK overprised & too fat. A nice siglo IV or V is perfect- for me. Your taste may vary.

Piramide EL 01 or 06?

I liked the 06 and surprised to see how much they've gone up! IIRC, they were ~$220.

Love the 03 Reservas... the CE is probably my favorite cuban, period.

The 06. The 03 Was good if you get a box from 2002 but I have tryed from 4 2003 boxes and just not the same.

The worst cigar in the reserva 2003 is the Piramides and the best the Esplendidos. The 2001 was also really really good but you cant find them for a good price anymore (at least I cant)

Another vote for the Siglo VI. I haven't tried the Piramides ELs, but the Behikes were very good. I like the Behikes a lot, but the price point isn't worth it. So all around, I like the Sig VI best.

 

[SergeantStogie]

Alot of the comments so far have been about price, but since you said this is a yearly treat, treat yourself to the Behike.

 

[Alwayslit]

Behike for a treat and the lancero for regular smoking.

 

[Jetexas]

Only had the Sig VI on this list. I have had a couple that were a religious experience..:angel:

 

[GregoryD]

I've tried the Esplendido, Robusto, Siglo II, and Exquisito. Of them, the Esplendido was my favorite, but it's probably the only one which was aged for more than 2 years. I have partial boxes of Siglo II and Robustos, and I have tossed them in my foot locker humidor for long term aging, so perhaps this will change.
