Cohiba Red Dots

Jon11 · 07-20-2011, 10:20 AM

Kind of a newbie. Cohiba Red Dots, are they really good?

MurphysLaw · 07-20-2011, 10:22 AM

Buy one, smoke it, if you like it, it's good

07-20-2011, 10:22 AM

Good but overpriced.

MrOneEyedBoh · 07-20-2011, 10:24 AM

Its all in what you like, I would try one and see where it takes you. Mostly, the Dominican varieties aren't BAD. I think the red dots are medium based sticks too.

TXRebel · 07-20-2011, 10:48 AM

IMHO, not good, but you should try one and decide. Everyone has different tastes.

I am not a fan, but as mentioned above, always make your own decision as taste preference is a personal thing.

akumushi · 07-20-2011, 11:06 AM

Yuck. If you want a good Dominican cigar, stick with Fuente.

blacklabel · 07-20-2011, 11:41 AM

I think the red dot Cohiba Black is excellent...But at $10-$20 a stick depending on size....there are much better out there...

It's all a matter of taste and pocketbook. If you can afford them and like them, then they aren't bad.

The only ones I ever bought came with a "free" Xikar cutter, which is the only reason I went the $40 for 3 cigars. Like Macanudos (and many Fuentes, IMHO), they are well-made smokes that are much too dear. As for the taste, that depends not only upon your preferences, like others have noted, but which blend of the Red Dot you propose.

This was the first Prem. cigar I smoked and it started down this glorious slope.

That would depend on you & your palate. You can smoke a $3 cigar & think it is a real good cigar. You can also smoke $15-$20 cigar & say this is not something you would ever buy again. Once you develope your own style & taste you will be on easy street...

Example, I personally think with some age the Rosa Cube(Nic's) $25 ($1.25 each) bundle of Govenors (6.12x50) I would put it up agains most $7-$10 sticks on the market. IMO

You just need to try different blends, sizes & color types till you find your stick/brand of choice.

P.S. It wont happen overnight so smoke away...

Dom Cohibas are no bueno....1/10 is worth half the price.

My advice, you're buying the name Cohiba ....and the only reason the name is worth buying is the CC Cohibas

neoflex · 07-20-2011, 08:58 PM

There are a lot of sticks that are far more enjoyable in their price point. Just this guys opinion though.
