Review notes: received an open box from my dad with around 15 cigars left, great looking dark oily wrapper, solid construction, couldn't resist to light one up over the weekend. the stick smelled great before lighting it up, i had very high expectations with these, the burn was great throughout, the aroma and flavor however was not as rich and strong as I had expected, seems something was missing, flavor wasn't complex or overwhelming, not sure whether it was due to the open box, the ash was light gray instead of dark gray. i'm putting the rest in my humidor now to let it properly tune and age and will revisit after a few months to see if any improvements to fulfill my great expectations for this premium cigar. |

Review notes: I was lucky to find a box that was aged 5 years in June 1999. Cigar heaven! Smoked the last one in October 2002. If it is allowed to age its a 10. |

Review notes: simply splendid. this cohiba is a masterpiece! beautifully constructed, very strong flavor and real heavy smoke! it even finishes smoothly which even among the top cigars is a rare quality to find. i just wish they were a little cheaper. |

Review notes: I have smoked many in the past and have been happy But the last box I ordered were plugged or extra tight sticks. I ended up tossing them after a few min. This was very unpleasant so I did not order them with my last shipment. I have found that I like the Winston Churchill Blenheim for the same price. |

Review notes: I bought a box of these when my daughter was born. And plan on smoking one a year until there is two left. At that age she'll be allowed to try her first Cuban Cigar. And at that age even a novice can enjoy them. This is very complex tobacco. The smoke self throttles, it starts off beautifully, no need to warm up. This is the epitome of a good smoke. |

Review notes: Well I have smoked many and I have also been a hit with quite a few plugged or extra tight sticks. When these are on they are on and the reason I keep trying these. They are expensive when you take into the fact that if they are bad you need to drill them out or throw them away. There is pleanty of earth in these cigars with that unique Cohiba taste. These need at least 4-5 years of age and will be mind blowing and may even fix some of the draw problems. |

Review notes: This is an absolutely gorgeous churchill, with A+ construction and appearance. The pre light aroma is amazing deep barnyard with leather. It has a lush draw and floods the palate with intense worn leather flavors, with some spice and cedar. It has an intoxicating aroma. Deep, long, rich finish. Superb. |

Review notes: Nice and fresh on arrival! The draw takes a little effort and the first 1/3 is a little light. But 2nd 1/3 is tasty. Not my first choice, but still a good smoke. |

Review notes: The Esplendidos is the king of the Cohiba cigar line. Not for the faint of heart, if you do not like a strong smoke stay away from this one. The only problem I have found with this cigar is the inconsistancy of the tightness of the roll. When I was in Cuba last Christmas I brought back two boxes. I smoked one cigar which had a bit of a tight draw and decided to put the rest in my humidor. I tried one the other night and it had improved considerably. My recommendation is to let them age at least two years and that is my goal however I am sure I will occassionally dip into them again from time to time. Not quite as good as the H. Upmann Winston Churchills but still a great cigar. |

Review notes: Be prepared to take the time to finish this cigar down to the end. It seems the middle down towards the end delivered the most flavors; a mixture of leathery wood, mocha, and cedar. Great smoke! |

Review notes: This is the most counterfeited cigar in the world. (not here at Lou\'s) Why you might ask? It has been and continues to be a top tier cigar among aficionados. IMHO these should be aged a few years. There were some problems with draw in this vitola however improvements in QC have helped to prevent that. These are gorgeous cigars and although no longer that only premier cigar at Cohiba they are still wonderful especially with some age. |
