They are not that strong once they get some rest in the humi, but they are tasty!

They still have some kick to them but are not as strong as some others that I have had.

Are these even available anymore? I've been looking for them but so far every source for Oliva that I know is out of stock (and there doesn't seem to be any plans on restocking them either).

Check page 1 of this thread. I put a link to a source on there.

Pick up a bundle of robustos, they aren't as strong as I thought they would be. I must have fried my taste buds , but all and all a very tasty cigar! I would pick these up again, with out a doubt.

Hmmm so I am not the only one that noticed it.
I would not even call them full bodied anymore...

Yeah, I purchased some of these over a year ago and didn't think they weren't nearly as strong as I had read. I thought the LFD DL Chisel kicked me harder than the El Cobre.

They STILL stink (but such a good stink) just as much as they did back when I first bought them though!

Default Re: El Cobre by Oliva

I just smoked another one of these yesterday and it was excellent. Once again, not nearly as powerful as they've been hyped to be, but absolutely delicious, full, and a true pleasure to smoke.
I walked around for ten minutes with the nub in my mouth once it was done. I don't think I've ever done that with any cigar.

Smoking one right now...

Love this little butt-kicker! Scott described it well. I was gifted this one... planning on getting some more.

The guy who gave it to me included it in a bunch of strong smokes... I think he was trying to kill me - but I really liked this robusto.

you should try the torpedo, it starts off less strong and builds slowly towards how the robusto is

Eat something first... and don't smoke it while operating heavy equipment.
