What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

[Blackadder]

Cohiba Piramides Extra. It is a big cigar, 54 gage and 6 5/16 inches long. Came in a tube as part of the 3 cigar pack. I had never seen this cigar before, it was given to me by a friend. What perked my attention was the hologram on the band. Turns out that this baby is close to Behike in price. Good cigar but seriously expensive.

Haven't tried it yet. Friends who have tried say it is average. Had a RyJ Duke and a Bolivar tubo.

I read about it after I smoked it. There was a lot of hype when it was released. It is not as good as Behike, good but not outstanding cigar. And again I do not understand the price point on these things.

If it is not as good as behike, is it at least better than the regular Cohiba or the 1966?
1966 is kind of over-priced as well but it is at least better than a regular Cohiba. Tonite was another RyJ Duke.

It is better than a regular Cohiba. But is it doubly good to justify double the price, not to me.

Event at local cigar shop. Casa Fernandez rep was there, and brought along a torcedor. He did some rolling demonstrations, and rolled a few for consumption.
