Cohiba Robustos SLB - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on May 23, 2015):
El Laguito Factory - FEB 10 - Aged 5 years: Just finished one of these bad boys that I’ve had aging in my humidor for 5 years. Pre-lit aroma was very faint, afraid that it lost its flavor too; very wrong. The first few puffs were disappointing because it tasted like papery tobacco leaf (probably due to a split/damaged foot), but that’s where the bad ended. At the 4th puff the a mild espresso jumped out at me and lasted for a good one third of the stick. That transitioned into Spanish cedar and toasted nuts. Then the most remarkably thing happened: days ago I smoked a fresh Cohiba Robusto I picked up at LCDH while travelling Cuba last month—for comparison for this one. That fresh stick had peppery notes throughout, this aged one had NONE, EVER! I could sense that pepper wanted to pop out but instead it came through as salt, followed by dark chocolate. The final third was a blended mix of roasted coffee bean, Spanish cedar, and a dead ringer for a salty espresso mixed with dark chocolate. Nubbed it without ever getting the lip-tingle, nicotine hit, or aftertaste on the tonge. The cleanest Cohiba I’ve smoked to date. Take note friends, AGE is key!
