Thank you all for the great responses and helpful tips. I have just placed it at the back of my humi to hybernate for awhile. I only have two more boxes that I want to purchase for my collection, the Wide Churchill and the Behinke...All in due time.
I love them with 2-3years plus on them (ideally 5-10) but have found them quite unpleasant young! Indeed it is not uncommon for people to be put of Cohibas for life after smoking one too young.
Price is good but really you need to lay them down before you will get close to seeing what they should be like.
Don't know why (something to do with the blend I guess) but to my taste they are no good young where as a 1-2 year old D4 can (sometimes) be very good.
This is on the money. Just want to add that after 10 years they get stronger but less sweet.
I've had a few and they're perfectly nice, but not enough ooomph for the price. Personally I think the
PSD4 is better suited for the size and the sig 6 works better for the cohiba blend. That said tho, I don't think I can recall having a bad coro!
I have to agree with the lads about the price of Cohiba Robustos being a turn off, my main smoke is a PSDN4 which is great value imo and can match a CoRo for taste.
I think SteveGriff is right, its one of those robustos you smoke once in a while
Tried a Cohiba Robusto and really enjoyed the deep, rich almond flavours, but just as everyone has said, that weighty price tag is always a serious foot in the door of Cohiba ownership. Juan Lopez S2 I find has just as much to offer a mellow, robusto shaped moment and so much more value for money. However, I'm glad that I tried one or two...and would hardly break down in tears if someone bought me a cab one day! Slip them to the back of your humi and give them plenty of time to earn their keep! Consider it their rent!
On a Jun 06 cab @ the moment, they're smoking that well I'm mad I've only been stocking 1 cab per annum, going to buy a quantity & hope I don't croak before they're 10 yrs +.
Have to agree though they don't rate the U.K. price or a premium price over several better cigars...but I do like the CoRo...
I had young siglos they were all good
Then I had my first robousto young as well not like it must be due to age
Wasn't bad at all it was just a bit uninteresting
Age them!0
Ageing some Sig I's at the moment, for a significant amount of time as the first one was incredibly uninteresting and flavourless - what a huge disappointment.
