Cohiba Red Dot
Not worth the price

Cohiba Red Dot
For the most part, this is a very consistent cigar. The flavor notes remain fairly linear, with no transitions. However, the profile brings out charred word and a creamy undertone, with a bright white pepper hit coming on the retro. The draw was open with a ton of smoke output.
La Herencia Cubana CORE
Usually a go to budget cigar. This is the first of probably 30 to have a burn issue. Also the flavor was a bit muted. I'm hoping it's a one off and not a change somewhere

La Herencia Cubana CORE
Molasses taste is heavy
Rocky Patel Decade
I've previously liked this cigar but as my palate has expanded it has decreased on my list. It's ok. Really open draw and a cool burn but the flavor just isn't what I want.
La Herencia Cubana CORE
These would be at 97 if it wasn't for the band. Smooth and creamy chocolate. Excellent burn and draw all in a budget smoke.

Cohiba Red Dot
The draw was tighter on this one than I remember previously, which required more effort to pull smoke. However, the burn stayed fairly even with this, only needing one correction. The flavor profile presented mostly charred wood and some creamy pepper.
La Herencia Cubana CORE
These are the best budget smoke I've had. They are very similar to an Olivia melino V if you you enjoy those at half the cost. My only complaint really is the brown bag wrapper that is a #%@! To get off!
La Herencia Cubana CORE
Great smoke production. Drawing and burn perfect. This has become a go to budget smoke for me. Very compable to AB lost art or rocky decade
La Herencia Cubana CORE
Always great budget smoke. Capable to rocky decade
La Herencia Cubana CORE
Nice!
La Herencia Cubana CORE
Great cigar
Rocky Patel Decade
Great flavor. Strong chocolate flavor creamy and smooth. Draw is a bit airy and cigar is loosely packed. This caused it to smoke rather quickly but not overly hot and burn was decent. Nice treat for a mid day smoke on a 70 spring day in Michigan

La Herencia Cubana CORE
Very good. Sweet like sugar cane.
Rocky Patel Decade
Aged 5mo. Punch cut. Draw and burn both excellent 👌. Medium bodied with rich and balanced flavors. Flavors of cedar chocolate and spice. A favorite.
Cohiba Red Dot
Aged 4mo. Bit of a tight draw, burn a bit uneven. Medium bodied, smooth and creamy. Flavors of cedar pepper and a touch of sweet.
Rocky Patel Decade
Aged 4mo. Burn a little uneven, draw great. Bold rich and smooth. Flavors of chocolate, espresso, pepper and earth. Great pairing with a mild black coffee.

La Herencia Cubana CORE
Tl;dr: disappointing. Aged 5 mos. This cigar had a catastrophic core burn that can only be attributed to a bad role. Clearly a factory issue. The tobacco flavors are unbelievably good as expected. Generally, the smoke was disappointing. This was mainly because I had to spend so much time relighting and trying to fix the core burn issue.
Rocky Patel Decade
Creamy, nutty, and slightly spicy. Burn good. Draw excellent. Paired with rye whiskey.
Rocky Patel Decade
3 month in humidor. Vcut. Good draw. Burn wavy. Flavors of pepper, cedar, chocolate and a little caramel. No pairing.
