Description
The Cohiba Red Dot began its journey when Diaz y Cia developed the Dominican Cohiba cigar in 1978. General Cigar’s dogged determination to retain the property rights to this icon has been a long and hard fight. From then the cigar went through blending changes over the decades that continue to this day.
To begin with, we all know the Cohiba brand is one of the most recognizable names in the world of cigars. When Cigar Aficionado rated the Red Dot at 91, they described is perfectly as follows, ” “Well made with a good draw, Cohiba has a solid core of distinctly nutty flavors that have an underlying creaminess. French peanut notes and a touch of caramel on the finish make this a very tasty medium-bodied smoke.” To sum up. this description has stood the test of time for over 20 years.
The Cohiba Red Dot is available in 10 popular sizes. If you’ve never tried one of these amazing cigars, what are you waiting for? Any size you pick will prove to be a thoroughly enjoyable super smooth smoking experience.

OK. So here we are looking at Cohiba Cigars. We all know that the Cohiba name is probably the most recognizable name in the cigar industry throughout the world. If you’ve smoked one of the real Cuban Cohibas over the last few years, if you’re honest with yourself, you may want to quietly admit that it wasn’t worth the astoundingly expensive price it cost.
General Cigar’s dogged determination to retain the property rights to this icon has been long fought and hard one. I have to say that the Cohiba cigars readily available to all of us rival the Cubans on many levels. Yes, they are pricey. But considering the time, effort, amazing quality, craftsmanship and selection of tobaccos that go into each style, is well worth the price of admission.
This Red Dot edition is the Dominican edition that started it all way back in 1997 when I was young and beautiful! I recently smoked a Toro Tubo and it was wonderful. For me, this was a mild bodied smoke starting out. As it’s perfect burn proceeded, the body
gravitated into the medium range before assuming a very smooth full body to its finish. This is still a great cigar with lots of robust natural tobacco taste and complex spices.
