Is Cohiba overrated?

[Stevieboy]

Even "It's all be said already" has been said already

As a cigar smoker approaching 2 years in the hobby I can count the number of enjoyable Cohibas I've had on one hand.... after a nasty table saw accident.

I've come to the conclusion that I just don't enjoy the signature grassy Cohiba flavour, I find it a little sickly.

I find the grassiest of all the Cohibas to be the robusto....not a fave of mine I have to say. Quite overpoweringly sweet...

I find that Cohibas differ a lot through the sizes, I tried a few Robustos and was left very underwhelmed, tried a Siglo II and loved em, Corona Especiales are a fave of mine, as are all the Maduro range, shared a box of Siglo VI with a friend, still have 6 left in the humi to see if age improves them a lot, they left me undecided on that particular size.

Then comes the Behikes ..... yum though it is said that the first round of those were the best.

The Behike I don't think is over-rated. Overpriced, yes.

[BHK54]

I do think that they are just a bit overpriced ... in UK at least ... but not overrated ...

Sorry to say, and some will think ill of me, BUT I enjoy Cohiba's and yes they are over priced but I still enjoy them when I can...

I'm with you, matey. The older the Cohiba, the better.


Names TJ, TJ Coro, and I would never think "ill" of senor CIV

If every cohiba is consistetantly smoking like when they are 'on'. they are not really overpriced. but when they are Great but hit and miss, they are overpriced. but that's the fun of smoking really? yeah? no?

Lanceros !!! if you have not tasted one, pls do. buy singles, beg for one. just try it !
Siglo series, they are good, but not as speical as the lanceros
behike, hm....the NC of Cuban, smooth and perfect, I am not a big fan really. but they are very very good !
robusto, i had one didn't like, my friend gave me one trying to convert me, i shall report back.
Madruo series, didn't like the secerto, friend gave me one of the bigger one, shall report back

Cohibas are expensive but I dont think they are over rated. I have yet to try anything that comes close to siglo VI for the taste or looks. I only speak from a limited experience of having smoked cohiba robusto and siglo VI and look forward to trying the Maduros and behikes.

The other cubans just dont have that little bit that sets cohibas a part
