Cohiba Dominican
 

I've never tried the Cohiba Dominicans and the only ones I've tried from another location (real ones, I saw the box and the stamps were proper) weren't that impressive. Of course that was about 6 years ago...

Anyway, JR has a deal on "Cask Aged Cohiba Dominicans" and I was considering pulling the trigger.

Re: Cohiba Dominican
 

I really like the original red dot... it is a very good cameroon cigar. However, for the price I can name probably 20 better cameroom cigars cheaper which are good or better. I have found all other DR cohibas to be, well, crappy. Not sure what cask aged means, but if they are the regular red dots in a wooden cask, then I would try the MC Afrique which is a similar cigar, much cheaper and just as good. FWIW, cigarmonstr had 5 red dot robustos yesterday for $20 which I think is a fair price for a cigar of this quality.

The JR Cask Aged are just a gimmick. They come in a barrel. Don't buy in to the hype.

I have smoked a few Red Dots, and found them more than decent, but Lu is right - for the price, you can find others at least as good for considerably less. They are not the only brands over-priced (take Playboy, f'instance), but they are decidedly amongst them. Just :2.

Re: Cohiba Dominican
 

I always wanted to try the Dominican Cohibas, but the price scares me off. Personally it seems like they are charging a lot just for a name :2

Joe,

They are... but if you pick one up for $4-6 it is a very good cameroon smoke.

I've always liked the Cohiba Red Dot- in fact purchased three Churchills to smoke with two friends at a pre-wedding soireé.(The father of the bride and her uncle.) They are expensive- I try to stock up when they come on sale or someone here wants to rid him/herself of some.

Re: Cohiba Dominican
 

Of course it's a gimmick. But the "deal" is 20 Cohiba Dominican's for 89.95. That's roughly $4.50 per stick (6.12" x 50rg). I thought that might be a good price.

There you go! Buy buy buy buy buy!

For Red Dot, under $5.00 is about as good as you'll get. If you are that curious, and have the cash, this might be your shot.

Re: Cohiba Dominican
 

For me the red dots are good cigars with too high a price. C-Bid and Cigarmonster used to have them every once in a while, I would also recommend the pequenos, but they've gone up in price the last few years.

Re: Cohiba Dominican
 

Never tried them. I do have a few Cuba Cohiba's in the humidor just aging ...

I pulled the trigger. I can always use the keg thing as a change holder.

Re: Cohiba Dominican
 

I have smoked one and have four more resting, I would purchase again but only if they were on sale. At that price point ~5.00 I BUY BUY BUY!!

Re: Cohiba Dominican
 

I love them, and I buy them when I get them in bulk so they are $8/stick. What are some other cigars that you all smoke that are similar? I am asking because others mentioned good Cameroon style sticks for less money.

Thanks!

Re: Cohiba Dominican
 

+1 on the great cigar but too high priced. I would get some at the lower price if I were buying.

Re: Cohiba Dominican
 

H. Uppman Vintage Cameroon
Hoya de Monterey Excalibur 1066

Both well priced and pretty tasty. I would take the H. Uppman over the Hoya if given a choice.

Re: Cohiba Dominican
 

Thanks! I will take a look at these!
