From Cohiba’s website, “Cohiba begins with tobacco seeds that have been rigorously selected and bred by our team of agronomists. The tiny seeds are raised in climate controlled greenhouses. There, skilled farmers hand-select the very best leaves even before the seedlings are transplanted into the rich soil. This ensures that only the finest tobaccos comprise Cohiba cigars.”
Cohiba Royale Robusto (5.5×54)
$33.12 – $298.07
Get the best Cohiba has to offer with the Cohiba Royale. Encompassed in gorgeous Nicaraguan Broadleaf wrapper and tobacco that’s aged 5-6 years, this stick is too good to pass up!

Cigar was nice; good flavor (dark coffee and toated oak), and nice and stout in strength. I got this as part of a Cohiba sampler awhile back and, while I can honestly say I enjoyed it, I can’t say I would happily fork over $25 for it. There’s just too many cigars of similar or better quality for that price.
Bottom line: a good cigar, but not worthy of a box purchase.

This cigar has a nicely constructed dark brown wrapper with a pretty plain Jane band. The price of $25 has me expecting a heightened cigar experience. The “Cut and a light” kicked off with a few different flavors, there’s milk chocolate, roasted coffee, leather, sweet cashew, and a butter cream. It has a pretty smooth oily retro hale that adds some light pepper. Into the second third the flavor profile is holding up and seems pretty consistent. The burn is a little wavy but hasn’t needed any touch ups yet and the ash is holding on very well. There’s also some light back ground spice now. In the final third the chocolate has faded and coffee with some white pepper has ramped up, the strength has increased and the body is a high medium to low full. My smoke time was one hour and forty five minutes. Over all it’s a smooth cigar with plenty of flavor going on. The price isn’t really a problem when you consider that my B&M charges nearly $20 for a Oliva servie V Mel. And almost $30 for this Cohiba. I would score this around a 92.
