Quick Smoke: Cohiba Nicaragua N50

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

When I first reviewed this cigar, I thought it might improve with age. It’s been six months, so I plucked one of the General Cigar-supplied samples from my humidor. It did have a bit better balance, but overall still isn’t one I’d reach for, even with online prices now several dollars below the $12.99 list. I have one left and plan to try it in another six months. But until I report again, I can’t really recommend it.

Verdict = Hold.
