Cohiba Maduro

[Ginseng]

The vast majority of the scuttle is on the good. Some gentlemen whom I regard as having excellent palates have given these the :thumbs:

Cohiba +10% is not out of line. Anything more than that and I can wait.

Good grief ....... how does the saying about curiosity go? you guys are killing me! :laugh:

 

[KayakinBoy]

I've ordered a sampler, anyone else? Anyone got there hands on them yet?

 

[tkoepp]

I just got an email that one place has a 3 stick sampler for $75.

I just got an email that one place has a 3 stick sampler for $75.

Thats a cool sampler, if its the same one I've seen, it comes in a nice hinged wooden box with openings for the 3 cigars.

*edit* And I'm still waiting on an Email from the Casa del Puro that I can come pick up the ones I ordered... damn it.

 

[KayakinBoy]

I got 5 for $80 and some change... Little wooden boxes are overated! :sign: j/k

When you consider that you can get a Cohiba Siglo VI for about $20, these seem a lot more expensive than the Cohiba + 10% price point right now. Hopefully when the furor over its newness dies down, the price will come down to that +10% level. I'll probably just get one to try while I'm in London and wait for the price to be more reasonable.

Of course that means in London one of these cigars would cost you $40 to $60 a stick. Oh yeah...don't forget the 17.5% VAT. :laugh:

Update on prices from one vendor.

Cohiba Secretos- $11.00
Cohiba Genios- $22.40
Cohiba Magicos- $20.40

Not too bad at these prices. I hope this is what the world market can expect to pay for these cigars. ???

Ouchy. $11 for a petit coronas is steep but it's the only affordable vitola for me.

So they are in the same price range as Red-Dot Cojibas :thumbs:

I was looking at some of these on a vendor's site....why did Cohiba put out such a desirable cigar in such crappy sizes?

Crappy in what sense?

Any group buys on these yet? :whistling:

Blech! Petite Coronas? If it was not such a crappy vitola, there would be well known and popular cigars of that si....oh, wait...nevermind. I am looking into a couple 6-packs, two of each size.

From one vendors site

Genios, (girth 52 x 140 mm); Mágicos, (girth 52 x 115 mm), and Secretos, (girth 40 x 100 mm.). All three sizes are in line with the latest market trends.

Sadly, it is what the market is demanding right now. Although I will more than likely try the two larger sizes, I will definitely be getting a box of the Secretos. It sounds like the perfect morning cigar to me.

I would love to see a lonsdale and a lancero size maduro 5. I think with those thin ring-gauge smokes you would really be able to notice the 5 year old wrapper imho.

Oh baby. I am just drooling thinking about this in a Dalias (6.75 x 43) or Cervantes (6.5 x 42) vitola. You lanceros nuts are a special breed.

Like you, I'd probably try the two fatties but stay with the Secretos. Although, at 100mm x 40, it's actually darn close to the itty bitty Perla (think Siglo I). I'd have preferred the Minuto (Party Shorts) or bona fide petit coronas (Mareva) for a bit more smoking duration and development.

And what the heck, no tubos??

They could have made a culebra, as for the smaller gauge cigars they have their place. I currently have been smoking the IIs and some smaleer ring cigars, but my preference continues to the larger ring cigar.

Can we special order some Lanceros? :whistling:

 

[smokelaw1]

You get Habanos S.A. to make us a special order Lanceros.....and I'll buy each of our first box.
You will also have to re-thaw hell and clip the pig's wings. But hey, while pig-wing clipping and hell thawing, you'd be smoking a damn fine cigar!
