Cohiba (Cuba) Reserva Seleccion Robustos

One of the tastier Cohibas I've smoked. Had the grassy Cohiba profile with punch to spare. Nicely constructed and put off gobs of smoke. Cohibas aren't my big thing, but this was one of the nicer ones I've had.

The Reserva Seleccion line has been consistantly dissapointing, and this Robusto is no different. One dimensional in a bad, mild way. These cigars are a sad statement on the "limited releases" Habanos keps coming out with.

I picked up a box of the reserva and have been working my way through the vitolas. Out of the several i have smoked the Robusto is one of the better ones. I do not however think this smoke is in the class of some of the LEs or the Siglo VI. I do think that the milder blend does have some promise. maybe some time in the humi will give this smoke some more depth.

This cigar was a great smoke after a nice steak dinner. The prelight draw was sweet & creamy which didn't change much after this baby was fired up. A little less of a punch then the regular CoRo, but the sweet taste that replaced the strong bodied punch made up for it. This was only a little over a year old and has the potential to become on of the best Robustos in history!

I'm not a Cohiba fan, but this cigar really impressed the pants off me. Straight forward Cohiba at te start, but the selection reserva aging brought on an incredible dimension of flavor, complexity and good strength. Didn't want to put it down in the end although I was thoroughly buzzed. Nice long but not overwhelming finish. Will linger in my mmory.
