Some of you know that I'm a huge Cohiba fan. I mean crazy huge fan. I wanted to name my dog Cohiba but my daughter was like, EFF that his name is Frankie.
Now forget the Behike the Siglos and even the Comador. Esplendidos is what it's all about. When you smoke one of these, you say to yourself ,"why isn't Michael Jordan and Tony Montana sitting next to me right now?" That's how baller status this cigar is. The level of ballerness is so high it makes me wonder. Why? What makes this cigar so ballerfied? Let's find out shall we?


Thank you Jiunn for giving me this cigar in the Gang War bombs.

Although it was well constructed, we got stems as long as the cigar itself, Awesome! This cigar was so flaky I bet it would have been a 20 min smoke. The filler was all over the place. Long, short, crumbly, flaky etc. Smelled like dried grass and leaves. It wasn't off putting, just meh. ...... What a mess

Thanks again Jiunn.

    This reminds me of a car wreck. You never want to see one but you just can't look away.

    I think he is on the X-Acto payroll. See how neatly placed the logo is. I really hope they are paying you well!

    So much unnecessary violence in this world. No wonder our kids are so screwed up.

    ditto. I showed the pictures to a cuban buddy here at work (I'm in Miami) and he was shocked. He couldn't believe it. We both wonder if cohiba is going to sh!t. Although, he said he is skeptical if that is an authentic cohiba because the wrapper looks a little too dark to be a traditional cohiba. But I dunno.... I'm no expert.

    Supposedly Castro quit smoking, so maybe they dont have an incentive to make premium smokes anymore. Latin industries for you. Always looking to screw the consumer.

    stems are full of flavored unfortunately they do not burn well...padron adds stems to make it more flavorful...to some this is bad but if you do t have burn issues then your good

    This was my understanding. They can be used to blend, you you have to be careful to makensure the blend still burns well

    Naw you need to slice up a Davidoff next. What was that song again... Oh yeah "Colt 45 and two zigzags and baby that's all you need.... Pick out the seeds and stems." See he's just doing what music tells him to and is picking out the stems ;)
