Cohiba (Habana) (Cuba)
, 9x42

Review by Howard Y. Yelen
March 20, 1998

Price: 100 TT (Aprx $18 US)

Overall Rating: Did I Like the cigar? It was terrible!

I bought several of this cigar in Trinidad, West Indies for about $18 US dollars. I was looking forward to smoking them as I have only had one Cuban cigar before. I was left very dissapointed in that the cigar was packed so tightly, I could not get any draw whatsoever. I was not able to continue smoking the cigar. I have heard that Cuban Cohiba'a are top of the line, but these few that I got must have been duds. Beware!

I have sent one of these to my brother (The creator of this web page). I am anxiously awaiting his review on this particular cigar.
