Cohiba Nicaragua N50 Robusto (4.87 x 50) – Box of 16

Cohiba Nicaragua 4.87 x 50, the first ever Cohiba made in Nicaragua, is blended with binder and filler tobacco from the rich, volcanic soils of Estelí and Jalapa. A dark and oily Sun Grown Colorado Oscuro wrapper added layers of bittersweet chocolate and earthiness to a hearty mix of roasted nuts, leather, and sweet spices. With flavors this good, I often find myself smoking another after the nub is reached. Cohiba Nicaragua 4.87 x 50 is a must try for those who want to add a delicious full bodied Nicaraguan puro to their daily smoking rotation.

The “Purest” Expression of the Blend

The N50 Robusto is designed to hit the palate immediately. The Honduran Jamastran Colorado Oscuro wrapper is particularly impactful in this smaller ring gauge, providing a spicy-sweet “snap” to the smoke. The fillers from Estelí and Jalapa provide a dense, structural core that feels substantial despite the shorter length.

• Wrapper: Honduran Jamastran Colorado Oscuro (Rich and reddish-brown)

• Binder: Nicaraguan (Estelí)

• Filler: Nicaraguan (Estelí and Jalapa)

• Body/Strength: Medium-Full to Full

Tasting Notes:

• The Spark: A bright opening of red pepper, cedar, and roasted nuts.

• The Evolution: The second half turns creamy and dark, with heavy notes of espresso bean, leather, and semi-sweet chocolate.

• The Finale: A spicy, clean finish that lingers with a pleasant, woodsy aroma. No bitterness, even down to the nub.
