Presentation
The Cohiba Piramides Extra comes in a varnished boite nature box of 10 cigars with Habanos Packing Code
Dimensions:
Length: 160 mm
Diameter: 21.43 mm
Ring gauge: 54
Shape: Piramide Extra
Appearance:
This is a very well-constructed cigar. No soft or hard spots. The wrapper has a dark brown sheen to it, like brown shoe polish. The foot is snugly bunched.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
Aromas of coffee, cocoa, leather and some light honey.
Burn/ Draw
The draw is a bit firm, the burn is even as can be.
Initial third:
You taste the Cohiba grassiness along with some cream and leather. Mixed in is a hint of licorice and that Cuban twang. Subtle and refined.
Middle third:
The draw loosens up. Still grassy with some more cream. The Cuban twang still stays dominant. Now you get some chocolate as well.
Final third:
Cream and chocolate now dominate the profile with still the grassiness and leather and earth.
In summary, the flavors get bolder as the cigar progresses but still smooth and never hot or harsh.
Smoking time:
90 - 120 Minutes

Highly Recommend

By Steve - Wow what a great smoke. Bought it last year and smoked one after letting them settle for 2 weeks and it was excellent. My 2nd smoke was 9 months sitting in the humidor and it just got better. Flavor was similar through the entire smoke. Will order another box once they are back in stock.

Great cigar but on the mild side

I received my box in short order from Cigar Terminal--less than a week after ordering. Box date was 6-7 months prior. I smoked the first one within a day or two of receipt, and the second one a few weeks later. The time in my humidor made no difference--both cigars smoked identically.
This cigar will probably only be a hit for people with more sensitive palates, as the cigar lacks body. You do get a strong hint of the famous Cohiba hay flavors, but the large ring gauge dilutes a good bit of the taste. As noted perfectly by another reviewer, 10 for aroma, 9 for burn/construction, but only 4-5 for strength (or what I would call body).
Certainly a great cigar for people that prefer a milder smoke or people newer to the pastime.
I think the Esplendido is head and shoulders above this one and I note that it's also cheaper on a per cigar basis. But I'm a flavor guy and your mileage may vary.
I hate to keep recommending the Esplendido because they are so hard to find LOL. But it's the truth as I see it.
You can't go wrong with these Pyramides...but they are better smoked after lunch than after dinner.
The cigar tastes the same throughout the smoke...if you like the first free puffs, then you will love this cigar right down to the nubs -
A great cigar

By Gary - Got these in earlier in June, 2016. Smoked the first one two weeks later after giving it a chance to settle in. Even burn with no need to ever relight. Smooth Carmel and Vanilla flavors in the beginning with a peppery finish that got strong towards the end. Great cigar!

A lovely, complex stogie

I loved this stogie.
It had flavors reminiscent of Siglo VI and Behike 54 - quite soothing with lovely spice character. There is not an inch of roughness in this cigar.
I dry-boxed the smoke for 3 days prior to the tasting and it performed marvelously.
A great addition to any humidor!
