"Recommend Wise Buy: Turk"
I would recommend anyone considering this brand to take the "Wise Buy" challenge. Order the "Turk" and realize how overrated Cohibas are compared to CAO.

"Below Average Taste and Horrible Draw"
I received 5 of these in a sampler and 4 of them were plugged. The one that wasn't plugged had a peculiar acidic taste. I highly recommend you spend your money elsewhere.

"What a great Smoke"
The Cohiba Robusto is tops. Medium strength smoke. From the first draw, you know this is gonna be good. Not spicy, not harsh, but not too mild either, just right. It has that perfect tobacco taste I'm looking for. Nice.

"Very Disappointed"
I have been extremely happy with all my Famous-Smokes. That said, this Cohiba Robusto (Natural) I received as part of a sampler pack was just terrible. The wrapper was quite veiny and the cap construction was not up to par for a hand made premium cigar. The cigar lit/burnt unevenly. But most importantly, it didn't taste good at all - absolutely dull. Because of the premium name, I smoked WAY too much before finally giving up 2/3 through. There are far superior smokes for less money - I will not be smoking any more of these.

"Tasty but overrated"
Certainly a fine, flavorful and smooth cigar with fine construction, but $12.50 retail, give me a break. I pick them up at reasonable prices in FSS sampler packs and probably wouldn't buy them any other way.

"very fine"
The discription sums it up well.If I could afford to make these my every day cigars,I would do it in a New York minute ,and would not think twice about it.

"A Little Pricey"
In my opinion there are better tasting cigars on the market. However, I have never seen a Red Dot Cohiba burn crooked, fall apart, or go out. I have smoked probably about 10 robusto size of these in the past 2 years all purchased from Famous in a variety of samplers. They all tasted the same, and burned the same. The whole cigar tastes the same from light up to last puff. The best part about these is the construction. Odds are if you buy a box you wont have any bad ones as it should be for the price. I think I will take my chances on brands like Padron, Rocky Patel Vintage, and LGC for half the price.

"Cohiba for the first time"
A friend expressed the joy of a real good cigar. I bought a sample pack and was most pleased with the taste and aroma of the Cohiba Robusto 5x49. I recomend this particular cigar because it burns even and does not take all day to enjoy.

"overrated"
I have smoked a variety of premium cigars and was looking forward to this Cohiba, but I was disappointed. It was OK but I sure didn't see what all the hype was about. In my opinion it's overpriced and you are paying for the name! Not a bad smoke at all, but I will pay way less for Maria Guerrero and enjoy them more.
