General Information
The Cohiba Coronas Especiales is a Swiss Cuban cigar with an origin in Cuba. It has a panetela format, size of 152 x 15.08 mm, ring of 38, and weight of 8.15 g. It's hand - made and priced at $20+/piece. It became available to the public in the early 80s.
Appearance
It has a long and thin shape with a chocolate - tainted appearance. It feels a bit loose but isn't loose during smoking. It got a 4.5/5 rating for appearance.
Construction
It has excellent construction. Close inspection shows it's hand - rolled. While some prefer a machined look, the hand - rolled look adds authenticity and a high - class feel. It also got a 4.5/5 rating for construction.
Flavor
- First third: Exudes a defined coffee/vanilla flavor.
- Second third: Becomes a bit stronger with cocoa flavor starting to appear.
- Third third: Too strong for new smokers, a treat for long - term cigar aficionados.
It got a 4.5/5 rating for flavor.
Value
It's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. It got a 4/5 rating for value.
Smoking a fresh one from the shop is a treat, and an aged one in the humidor for a couple of months is even better. Aged, it has a high - class premium feel and is definitely a winning cigar.
