Aaaah, one of my favorite cigars. If only all toro were made this dense and full of flavor! Has 4 years slowed this freight train of flavor down? We shall see!
not my pic
This came from a box of 10, and i have been waiting to try another for quite a while.
This cigar is beautiful looking. Light brown tawny wrapper with hardly any visible veins. Our friends in the deeep South sure know how to save the best leaves for their flagship brand.
The draw is perfect, just slightly firm but yielding.The first flavord I get are quintessential Cohiba. The mustiness takes a background to tea and leather with some cinnamon and coffee on the finish.
The burn is a bit uneven at first but it straightens up quickly.
One thing I forget about this cigar is how heady the aroma is, it’s so rich and decadent, as so unique to the Cohiba line.
Midway through, the up fromt spice gives way to a subtler, smoother smoke, There is a few rough puffs, but the cigar in general has smoothed out. There is some tea and paper notes with a hint of licorice on the finish. I just want this cigar to keep on going!
The end is rich and luxurios, brimming with coffee, leather, cocoa and anise on the finish. Way a joy!
Cohibas generally age very well, and even though this has a long way to go, it’s off to a wonderful start. There were some rough moments, so I would guess this cigar is on a “dip” instead of a peak, but in a few more years, watch out!
Rating: 90 (A-)
the only cigar i smoke from all the cohiba line.
Very nice review
