Description: It is not uncommon for cigar makers to reserve select portions of their crop to roll specially blended cigars in limited quantities that are designated for family use only. Such was the case with the El Cobre blend, until now. Named after an old mining town in Cuba, the El Cobre embodies Cuba’s rich heritage in appearance as well as flavor. In fact, this cigar may very well require a warning label. It is one of the fullest bodied and fullest flavored cigars made in Central America. El Cobre’s dark and oily wrapper makes way for an exceptionally spicy cigar with a long, earthy, and robust finish. Don’t miss your chance to try this unique blend.

Pros: Nice full body
Cons: A little harsh

I was part of the bundle split that Brian Hewitt set up. After hearing about this cigar, I was ready to be knocked on my a$$! The cigar lit and burned great. The flavors were pretty consistent all the way through. There was a lot of leathery tobacco and a smooth woody taste. It just seemed a little bit harsh and was definitely on the fuller side but not that bad. I really enjoyed it. The strength crept up on me at the end. I was glad it was just a Robusto or I would have been in the corner sweating!

8.5/10

Pros: verry good cigar for that price
Cons: not everry sice gets an high standard

I tried 4 sices from the El Cobre. Churchill, Torpedo, torro and robusto. The churchill was de only one that not convince me. The Torro and robusto where "heavy" once and the torpedo wad superb. Spicy and ceder was what i feld on this fellow and just the right strenght. One to try!
