I suppose it's been a while since I've had a Cohiba. I chose to pair this one with Boulevard's "The Sixth Glass." I decided to use my Xikar punch this time, and lit it up with my normal ritual. I'll keep this review short and to-the-point.
1/3: This Cohiba maduro started off with a stronger mouth-feel, but gradually mellowed out in the 1st third. I detected notes of wood and raisins. The ash dropped off at 3/4".
2/3: I now pick up black coffee, leather, and a hint of raisin is still present at this point. The burn isn't perfect, but it's not at all bad.
3/3: A slight bitterness and char taste develop in the final third. Disappointing, but such is the case with many sticks.
Overall, it's a decent smoke. Nothing special, but not bad. I don't typically reach for the 42-ring gauges, but even I like to mix it up a little from time to time.
Size: 5-1/2 x 42
Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic, Mexico
