I guess I'll be the lone decenter here when it comes to the Cohiba brand.....and I've smoke a lot of them over the years. I've smoked the cream to the aged crop when it came to the Esplendidos and to me they were just OK. I've smoked young & aged CoRos and they did nothing for me...just not in my wheelhouse flavor-wise. I bought a few boxes of their OR maduros (thinking those HAD to be good as I'm a major maduro fan) and those were so bad, I gave them all away! Yet, I like the grassy, hay-like flavors in most cigars. I guess they just hit my palate the wrong way. To me, most of the time, they taste like young PLPCs.
But I will say this, Bill (CigSid) sent me a 2006 EL that I smoked on Super Bowl Sunday that blew me away. It was so good, that the hour or so it took me to smoke it, I hardly spoke or paid much attention to the game....not many cigars stop me dead in my tracks anymore like that one did. It was the "God Shot" of cigars that day.
