Cohiba Piramides Extra - 10 cigars
- Product Review (submitted on July 6, 2018):

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
