Cohiba Sublime Edicion Limitada 2004
Box Code: Unknown
Measurements: 6 ½ x 54
Size: Sublime (Double Robusto)
Pre light
It’s a nice, sunny day here in Ohio, and I’ve got the day off from work. I decided I needed a great cigar to celebrate my recent promotion. I opened up the humidor and quickly grabbed one of my remaining Sublimes.
A thick cigar with excellent construction, it is covered with a dark, oily wrapper with a few noticeable veins. The cigar cuts easily with the large ring guage. Pre-light aromas and flavors are of cocoa and coffee bean.
1 Third
The cigar lights easily wih a good draw and even burn. The palate is filled with cocoa, coffee bean, and sweet flavors. Further into the cigar, notes of roasted espresso flavors become apparent leaving the palate moist.
2 Third
The ash is forming very well, and the cigar is burning quite cool. The smoke is plentiful and aromatic. A slight touchup was required.
The flavors are remaining full and complex.
Last third
There is no slowing down on this cigar. A burn issue was corrected with two minor touchups, but the flavors and aroma more than make up for that. There is a pepper note on the finish. Some mineral notes were also present. Yes, I smoked it to the nub.
Overall impression:
An absolutely wonderful cigar from start to finish. I think it is the best EL, if not overall cigar, I have ever smoked.
Rating:
6/6 smoke rings (a classic cigar)
