Good cigar, well constructed, a powerful smoke. Certainly an excellent little smoke.
Hands-down, this is one of the best Robustos on the market. This will go head-to head with the Cohiba Robustos and hold its own. A powerful smoke, this will give any cigar smoker a true appreciation of the Partagas line.
This is a cigar that will challenge even the most experienced palates, with its sophisticated aromas of crushed pepper, dark chocolate and even a ribbon of licorice at times. The 5 years of careful aging lends elegance and depth to the smoke.
The new Cohiba Maduro 5 line will feature three different sizes. In addition, the Maduro 5 wrappers have been aged for 5 years. Good combustion and draw make this seoane by Cohiba a lovable Habano whose company is short-lived.
A cigar that metamorphoses with time. Before it is 4 years old, the Connoisseur No.1 comes across as being a bland, mild cigar with no real character. Beyond this period, this Robusto becomes one of the most exciting cigars produced in Cuban, with impressive sweet herbal flavours delivered in a perfectly balanced smoke. Need 4 years minimum and gets better after that.
These mild to medium bodied cigars have a very smooth and subtle flavor that has been its hallmark since its introduction in 1844. A great favorite among aficionados, the history of this brand began around 1840, when Herman Upmann, banker and almost fanatical cigar enthusiast, offered to open a branch of his family-owned bank in Havana Cuba.
