COHIBA SERIE M ROJA REVIEW – DOM
Summary: Light roast coffee with honey sweetness has me glad I lit this up in the morning. The presentation is posh, the flavors are refined, and the construction is sublime; this cigar has “premium price point” written all over it. Substantial amounts of smoke pouring out, I’m on cloud nine.
Halfway down, salty sesame seed substitutes savoriness for sweetness. Floral notes, cedar, and strawberry conclude, making the fin a fête.

COHIBA SERIE M ROJA REVIEW – RICH
Summary: The closed foot gives a really nice dark chocolate when lighting, and that's followed up by cinnamon, earth, pepper, vanilla, fudge, oak, cream, espresso, and leather.
Construction was on point, with no issues at all.

COHIBA SERIE M ROJA REVIEW – BENECIA
Summary: Did a dance with a green bell pepper and black pepper combination, like fresh homemade seasonings. Then I got black coffee and smoked meat until the halfway point where the notes mellowed significantly. It did get toasty, though.
If You Like That, You Might Like This: Running out of gas
Pairing Suggestion: Coffee with two sugars
Perceived Strength: Medium
Purchase Recommendation to a Friend: Single
