# Cohiba redeemed - The Lounge Group

So, im relatively new to Cohiba, and my 1st couple failed to impress. Weak flavors, one note, barely average. Talked to a semi local tobaccanist who recommended the Rubicon. Even said, based on conversation of the rest of my preferences id love it. Posted in The Lounge by Wildkard on December 19 2025 6:13:02 PM

So, im relatively new to Cohiba, and my 1st couple failed to impress. Weak flavors, one note, barely average. Talked to a semi local tobaccanist who recommended the Rubicon. Even said, based on conversation of the rest of my preferences id love it. Said if I didnt like it, he'd buy me a La Aroma de Cuba Noblesse (there was a displey for them at the counter) Bold bet, and i didnt see a way to lose. So I bought one. Well ,I found the downside. Im an honest person and will not be getting a free Noblesse. This is a great cigar. Bold and sharp flavors countered by smooth and creamy textures. Good aroma, nice build and burn. Long story short, Google the review of it and it holds 100% true to it. Really get the molasses highlight on the retro-hale. Will def keep a few of these on hand going forward. Thanks to Joey @ Golden Leaf Michigan City, In!! Home run, buddy.
