Another great stogie. The Cohiba Maduro Piramides are similar in taste to the Genios. The smaller ring gauge makes it a little more of a tight draw. With that said the Piramide also seemed to be a bit smoother, some of the more subtle flavors in the cigar seemed to have been more evident than in the larger Cohiba Maduro.
I got them from a shop other than my regular hang-out and they were a little less humidified than I prefer. I have laid down a couple in my humidor for a couple of weeks and will let you know how those smoke at that time. Overall this is a great 35-40 minute smoke. It is smooth, subtly spicy yet a bit stronger than some of the other Cohiba’s.
As a side note I noticed that there are some great deals on boxes of Cohiba Robustos and Cohiba Esplendidos ($450.00) online at Vancouver Cigar… I have verified the authenticity with a visit to their storehouse last week.
Thanks for the review. Do you know what Cohiba has in store for 2008? What’s next?
Check out the entry about the Cohiba Habanos Collection coming out this year. It’s going to be a massive smoke, 54 ring gauge and 184mm long. They’re calling it a Sublime Extra, like the Edition Limitada Sublime from 2004, but longer.
