has anyone tried one of the cohiba from the dominican republic yet? Found a box during the clean out of the new humidor.

Yes tried a couple of the toro's while in the states. Pretty peppery, I have a couple left in my humidor. I'm about to order a box of the Cohiba blacks too, pretty expensive though, that goes for all the dominican cohibas from what I've seen

Tried them a while back and to be honest I was not very impressed at all.:cool:

They did not resemble the Cubans in any way,shape or form IMO.

ive smoked lots of them. dont care for them myself much except for the pequenos.....which is a good thing because they are the cheapest ones! still good smokes, but the larger ones i do not like.

Had one of these (churchil kind of size) and it was awful, the wrapper was more or less destroyed, tight as anything, was one of the most endearing smokes ever.

Got a box of the Churchills and one of the most disappointing smokes in my collection...

Don't waste your money on these smokes, there are much, much better NC's out there...

Cheers, HabanoSy

I've never been drawn to them, always thought of them as americans cashing in on the cohiba brand.

Pretty much agree with all the opinions here:

Basically not worth it. Many, many better NC choices, especially for the money. NC Cohibas are more mystique for the name than quality of cigar.

I think they are over priced. But they are still good. I especially like the XV.

Pretty much agree with all the opinions here. To me this is a piece of shit stogie! Notice I didn't even call it a Cigar.That word is reserved for fine cigars and only fine cigars.
Lee don't waste your $, Kristoff make a much more complex smoke and around $125.00 a box superb! Just my 02

When i went through the humi again today i noticed that these are badged with a label very very similar to the proper cohiba logo and not the red dot one that I expected. They are also labelled as Esplendido, definitely a marketing tool ! I'm glad that I hadn't "paid" for them as they were just in the package and for me the humi is what I wanted and the contents were a bonus. Still November 5th is coming and I'll need a few fire lighters :smile:.
