I bought 3 boxes at auction for $60 each ... and find them to be in my top three favorites (so far). Even though they are not the true Cohiba, they are quite tasty, and pack a mild punch. The size is perfect for the enjoyment of it's complex flavors. I traded one box with Timinator, so he must enjoy them also, and he is a man with extensive cigar knowledge ... also, because of a trade mark dispute with General Cigar, once they run out of these, they will be hard to come by, if not impossible!

...oh ... I just thought that I may have been writing about the wrong brand. If you are talking about the Red Dot Cohiba (not the yellow band that tries to copy Cuba's Cohiba) then I apologize for the error. I have yet to try the Red Dot Cohibas from General Cigar ...

I'm having one right now ... did I mention the even burn, the long white ash, and the extrememly thick, creamy smoke? I love this 'vanishing breed' ... I will miss it greatly ... or 'pay through the nose' to get it in the future ...

I think the Yellow Band went downhill quickly in the last year...Very disappointed the last several times I had one..The last good one I had was a little more than a year ago...Can't say much about the Red Dot Cohiba...I've only had one
