The Cohiba Experience

I Had the pleasure of trying a Cohiba Corona, Ring gauge 49 and a length of 6" As I removed this slightly oily cigar from it's wrapper, I slowly ran it under my nose and inhaled deeply to get the natural aromatics that you can only get instantly as you fist remove it, a very woodsy, earthy aroma filled my nasal cavity. I gave my usual V-Cut on the cap and brought it to life with my triple torch, as it began it's awakening glow I knew it was ready for me to breathe life into it, As I know that was the original purpose for it's creation.

As I began to take puff after slow puff of this attractive stick, and began to wonder if the rollers of this fine mixture of tobacco ever thought of the enjoyment that this would bring to whoever lit it for the first time. Woodsy and toasty notes encircled the interior of my mouth, and my palate felt nothing but smoothness, no bite or harshness at all. An even burn from beginning to end. A very smooth smoke.

I paired this w/a glass of my favorite Christian Brothers Brandy, a perfect match for many cigars, I reccomend it highly. It wasn't my usual length of the smoke I am used to, as I choose Churchills for most of my regular smokes. This short Corona lasted about 45 min., as I smoked it down to the very nub. All in all, I rate this Cohiba a 9.2 on a scale of 1-10.

Whether you receive one from the Domincan Republic via your local tobacconist, or you're on a cruise ship and are lucky enough to have a real Cuban, either one, your enjoyment will be guaranteed.
