Cohiba Black...anyone familiar?

GolfNut · 11-03-2010, 08:37 PM

As a fan of the Red Dot, I am curious about the Cohiba Blacks. Does anyone here have experience with these? Ran across a deal on 25 of the Supremos and am wondering about telling the Mrs. I need an early Christmas Gift.

Well first off I think you should tell her about an early christmas gift

I've had a few of these...I LOVE THEM! Had a corona and a robusto tubo. Worth a box purchase IMO.\

EDIT Chit, now I want a box of the tubos.....They were very good.....

Had one when they first came out several years ago - didn't think it was anything noteworthy or worth the price. For perspective, I think the red dots tend to be overpriced as well.

Ah crap....I made a mistake...ish..

I got a box of tubos inbound, Thank you CI.

I think every Cohiba NC is overpriced and not worth the dough. I have found MANY other sticks I'd rather spend my money on. And alot cheaper.

Bill86 · 11-03-2010, 09:57 PM

Eh $8 a stick I'm paying for the 5.5 X 50 robusto tubos isn't bad. But at a B&M oh yeah you get KILLED on Cohibas. Something like $15 a robusto tubo. They are quite highly priced, I'm sure some of that is for the name Cohiba.

I use to love them when I first started. Haven't had one in years now.

Still have yet to try a Cohiba. Some day i'll splurge and try one I am sure.

I started on the red dot and have a large supple of all the different vitolas. I Love the black and as said at retail it is to much money. I find myself going to them less now but that is because I am working my way through the thousands of others out there not to mention Cubans.

My trick I never paid retail ever. I would use the JR action and check it all the time The Puro Dominicanos which is one of my favorites and I paid less than half on most and a hair over on a few. My trick was finding auctions ending late night and early morning and bidding at the end, and do NOT pay more than you are comfortable with.

Good Luck!

Dave

Haven't looked at the JRauction site. Thanks for the heads up!

Nah, you already pipe bombed me into submission. Too bad I didn't save your address.

Never had a cohiba except some fake NC, it was alright, but the price has always kept me away
