Cohiba 1966
Well I broke down and spent the jack to try this cigar last night. Gotta say that I am impressed with how consistent the entire box of cigars looked and felt. The bunch in each of the feet were all about the same sans one stick that looked under filled. The cigar I chose had a dark streak of ligero in the middle of the bunch with what looked like alot of seco around it and a clockwise roll on the dark wrapper. It was a bit moist and smoking it on the porch here in 80% humidity mexico land didnt help much. Despite this the cigar burned fine, no runs, or tunneling....just a bit slow with a firm draw. Flavor was that of a strong rich earth taste with a bit of leather that turned into what most would know as the typical bean/grass type flavor that is Cohiba. What was not typical of this cigar or any Cohiba I have had for that matter was how strong this cigar was. Lots of nicotine in this. I got a bit dizzy and this just does not happen when I smoke cigars. Could have been the extra ring gauge or maybe that thick streak of Ligero. If you are a fan of Cohibas and can locate a stick or two I say go for it before you drop the coin on a whole box. Wasn't bad...just other sticks out there at this price point that are better imo.
On a box of the new 1/2 corona for size (thats one tiny box o cigars lol)
Next to the new 1/2 corona for size
