The COHIBA Robusto EL 8+8 Year of the Pig is a limited edition cigar created by the prestigious COHIBA brand. Each cigar is carefully crafted using aged tobacco to achieve a unique smoking experience. This particular cigar was released in 2019 to celebrate the Year of the Pig in the Chinese zodiac. It is a Robusto-sized cigar, measuring 124mm in length with a ring gauge of 50. This size and shape are a popular choice among cigar enthusiasts due to its balance of length and thickness.

This limited edition cigar features a dark, oily wrapper from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba. The binder and filler are also made from premium aged tobacco, which is carefully blended to provide a complex and rich flavor profile.

The box contains 16 cigars, with each cigar individually wrapped in tissue paper for added protection. It is a medium to full-bodied cigar with a complex flavor profile. It begins with a spicy and peppery kick, followed by notes of leather, earth, and cedar. As the cigar progresses, hints of dark chocolate and coffee emerge, creating a rich and satisfying smoking experience. Aging has a significant impact on the flavor and aroma of this cigar. The aging process allows the tobacco to mellow and blend, creating a smoother and more complex smoking experience.

For those who enjoy a strong, full-bodied drink, a peaty Scotch or Bourbon would be an excellent choice to complement the rich and complex flavors of the COHIBA Robusto EL 8+8 Year of the Pig.
