the cohiba's I got are a little disappointing, No real flavor. Natural wrap reserve from the 2003 Habano Festival- sounds good right?, nope weak. I'm looking for for some spice and intesity.
Any suggestion-- still going to Taipei.
thanks
yeah when I got them in the mail, my buddies came over before I even opened the box they where mailed in and started to judging, as we peeled away the cardboard we got to the wood box containing the habanos. as we looked and judged opened it smelled them looked them over checked the codes, we decided they were authentic.If you really want that spice and intensity, stick with Nicaraguan puros. Cuban cigars aren't typically spicy or very "intense" in flavor profile, at least to me. Try smoking a few Partagas or Bolivars, I think they might fit your desired profile better than a Cohiba would. Whether or not it was a counterfeit is a whole 'nuther can o' worms!

When I checked the box code with the habano web site it said they where fakes, but what is the box code, is it the serial number on the seal of the wooden box containing the smokes or is it the seal on the cardboard box that the wooden box was in. really not sure. every thing about them looks legit. One of my buddies is a CC smoker and purchaser for years and he seemed to thing they were good, but one can never tell.
Thanks
Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX-- best scotch I ever had-- spelling could be offWhich scotch were you drinking?
yep, maybe I should of asked here first -- thanksLate '02 boxes are stellar. Second quarter '03...not so much. That's probably why you got a good deal on them (assuming you did).
....this. Try a Padron 45th or a Don Pepin "My Father Le Bijou" and see what you think of those....If you really want that spice and intensity, stick with Nicaraguan puros.
