I smoked my 1st Cohiba today. It wasn't life changing, but it was pretty darn good.
It started out a bit too peppery for my liking and the draw was tighter than I care for.
The second third really started to open up. The draw loosened up some and loads of what I would describe as a hay like flavor came forward. It was very nice.
The last third was even better than the 2nd. It's hard for me to describe, but I'd call it toast and hay. It made me feel like a bowl of warm soup on a cold day. It was very comforting and nice.
Overall, I'd call it the 2nd best cigar I've smoked yet. I'd give it 8.5 out of 10. I still think I prefer the Montecristo profile, but this was excellent.
