I have some Cohiba Robusto's from 06 that have never really became what they should have.......but 06 was an off year for Cuban tobacco.

In all honesty I just don't appreciate Cuban tobacco as much as I once did.There are just so many DR's and Nicaraguan's that are equal to or better.Construction most certainly is always better.But again this is subjective......if you only appreciate the flavor profile of Cuban tobacco you'll find it no where else.The flavor profile of a good Dominican or Nicaraguan is just more in my wheelhouse I suppose.

Just an observation from a very small sampling.....Cohoba Robusto's,Punch Punch and Partagas Petit Corona Especiale.All from 06 and all not nearly as good as their 08 counterparts.I have some Party Shorts from 07 that never made it either.Everything from 08 spectacular,the only other years I have are 09,10 & 12.Some of those I haven't even broke into yet.

Just bought 10 Cohibas and so far the first two wouldn't even smoke. They are so dried out they start fallen apart right after you light them ! Very disappointed !
