Your Thoughts on The El Cobre

tomc3084 · 05-18-2010, 10:27 AM

Not until today did I find out that this cigar was made my Oliva. Now it definitely has my attention, I am very intrigued. What are your thoughts/experiences with this cigar. It seems as if it is very strong, but is it balanced? TIA

Tom, No offense but no matter how many opinions you get on whether this is a well balanced smoke or not, you really wont know if its a cigar for you until you try a few. A sampler from Famous is affordable and a good way to try the different sizes. http://www.famous-smoke.com/el+cobre...ars/item+31790

To me they taste a LOT like the old Oliva Blue cloth bands. Not strong at all to me.

I liked the flavor..they are good.

I wouldn't put these past a medium to full smoke. I find them to be well worth every penny. I smoke a lot of these and rarely do I regret it.

In my opinion these are the best cigars that Oliva puts out

BryanB · 05-18-2010, 03:04 PM

Awesome about sums it up. Great smoke, great price

RightAJ · 05-18-2010, 03:07 PM

Great sticks. Not too strong for me, but still watch out they have a rep for a reason

These are great sticks at a fair price.

Grab some, you will not be disappointed.

Love them. I thought they were pretty strong. They remind me of the original El Rico Habano.

I'm a fan... but they are not for the faint of heart.

I enjoyed the one I had on the golf course. Solid medium body smoke I thought.
