Half Ashed Episode 089: Cohiba Reserva Media Corona

What this episode covers

Welcome to Episode 089 of Half Ashed, featuring the Cohiba Reserva Media Corona This week, we’re smoking this very special selection from Craig’s list of favorites. His own words about the cigar: 5-⅝”x38rg – A size only produced only for the 2002/03 “reserva” assorted box of 30. All tobacco was aged a minimum of 3 years prior to rolling; a rarity for cigars from Cuba. It is said that premium selections from the ‘99 harvest was all that went into these cigars. Typical Cohiba “beany” flavors are present and though thought of as a “special” release, these just seem to be standard in flavor intensity and complexity. Nevertheless, they are enjoyable examples of the blend. Tune in to see me falling all over myself enjoying this cigar. In the news, we covered items from Alec Bradley, AVO, Crowned Heads, Jose Blanco, and Xikar. We also talked over what we’ve been smoking lately, discussed the continuing upgrade of Half Ashed (and consolidation with The Cigarmy), and took a moment to answer a recent listener email.
