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.
I attended a cigar club reception recently hosted by the Vancouver Cigar Company. They had a few of these in stock and I have ordered them online from elsewhere but these were fresh out of the humidor. The Piramide also referred to as a torpedo is something new to Cohiba (last 3 years)
This is another great addition to the Cohiba family. This was a complex smoke. Rich and spicy, and noticeably consistent right until the end. These are a classic smoke, and meet up to the Cohiba brand. Like the Maduro 5 they are also great value per dollar overall.
I like an easy draw so that would have to be the only thing that I didn’t find totally satisfying about this one.
