New comer looking for suggestions

[Al C]

Hi guys, I’m looking for recommendations to replicate the flavor of one of my favorite cigars.....the Cuban, Cohiba Esplendido. For obvious reasons the Cubans are out of the question. Thanks in advance.

For what they cost way out of my league, I'd have to smoke the cigar then snort the ashes!

Welcome to the madness

Good luck finding that cigar.

Only thing I have had that tastes like a Cohiba Esplendido is....

I bought them at a cigar shop in Cozumel years ago. Had a few there and snuck a few back. Been chasing that dragon ever since.

I think I know where this is going....

Ghurka Black Dragon sounds like what you’re looking for. Super rare but can be found for 95% off retail if you look...

Unfortunately, unless the shop was the La Casa del Habano, those were not legit Cohibas. If they were from there, that's a winner.

kind of what I was leading up to.

You will have to try the real thing sometime ,or any real Cohiba.

Do you still have a band from one of your sticks ?

Would like to see it.

Couldn’t tell you the name of the shop. It was about 25 years ago. It was a very nice cigar shop near the plaza. I knew enough to steer clear of street vendors and souvenir shops.

Hmmmm...........mold, plume or a bad picture? It is a nice selection of cigars.

These are others from my collection. Most over 20 years old. I always like to save one of each for prosperity maybe never to be smoked. I’m just new to BOTL not new to the cigar world.

Thanks. Plume on most. I’m watching the Punch though. I keep these in a separate box from my regulars.

show us the cohiba bands where it shows "cuba "
the others look good.
