It should come as no surprise that we are, once again, going to Day 13! It’s a Festivus miracle! I was overwhelmed by the response from my dear friends in the cigar industry. Haven’t they been great? Please remember to thank all the generous participants, without whom this would be VERY expensive for me! Let’s just hope the FDA doesn’t get in the way of our fun, and make sure you join Cigar Rights of America (or Europe, or Canada) so we have a chance to continue to enjoy cigars the way we have. Last night I smoked an Arandoza Red Label toro that I picked up at To’Makao cigars in Bethlehem, PA Sunday. This cigar is a powerhouse, with TONS of dark, rich flavor. If I were making a list, this would be at the top for me this year, I think. Terrific cigar! I know, you want to know who won the box of Arandoza Red Label, and that lucky individual is Xolotal Mungin. Make sure to send me your address so I can get this out to you! And now, on to Day 13!
Cohiba Nicaragua
Day 13 brings us another cigar from General Cigar Co., the new Cohiba Nicaragua. This is Cohiba’s first cigar to be made in Nicaragua with Nicaraguan tobacco from Esteli and Jalapa, wrapped with a Colorado oscuro wrapper. Today’s present is the Cohiba Nicaragua N60, the largest size in the line at 6″ x 60. This is a box of 16 cigars. I’ve smoked the robusto in this line and it’s spectacular. Thank again to Victoria and the folks at General Cigar Co. for their unwavering support.

My local B&M is very impressed with this cigar, win or lose I will be try these out soon! Thank you for the opportunity to win some!
Thanks for the contest!
The name Cohiba makes my mouth water. Maybe next year it will be a box of Cubans!
Great 12 days Craig, have a great Xmas
Some great tobacco comes from Nicaragua. Many thanks for the contest. Merry Christmas.
Lookin good, yummy
Love me some cohiba!
Always Giving…your a good man. Hope to run into you again soon. MC..
Thoughts on cohibas.. quality.. and my email.
Begin the feats of Strength! No airing of grievances this year! Awesome contests Craig! Thanks again for all you do for the cigar community.
Cohiba = quality
These are some great cigars! Thanks to Miss V. and Craig for bonus day #1.
Wow day 13 …. it is the gift that keeps on giving!
Great fun.
cohibas are a quality cigar , eager to try this one
merry christmas to all, thanks for the festivus miracle craig
Cohiba has some of the best name recognition in the industry. Thanks for the contest.
I will take as many days as you are giving
Now that’s a good looking cigar! Hope Santa Craig leaves those under the tree!
Send me a box even if I don’t win.
This has been a wonderful “12” days of Christmas and going. Thanks for the opportunity to win some awesome cigars. Merry Christmas my friend
Would love to try this one. Thanks Craig. Happy Holidays to all.
I’ve actually never tried these and had very few Cohibas in general. I’d like to give them a shot. Merry Christmas, Craig!
Interesting… Heard someone talking about these the other day…
There’s a small little smoke shop a few feet from the amphitheater stage in Stevenson Ranch, CA where I performed at the end of each summer with The Beatles tribute band, Imagine for years. That was the only place I knew that carried the miniature Cohibas, which I would always stock up on while I was there to smoke throughout the year with the man who turned me on to them, drummer Hal Blaine.
Holy Cow! I NEED these!
OK I will try again for the 13th day of the 12 days. Thx for doing this, Craig, and to the brands for “stocking” you up.
Call me crazy, but I actually prefer the Cohibas from Nicaragua. Don’t have to question if they are REAL of NOT…
Nicaragua is the place to get great cigars from now.
Thanks Craig,
Merry Christmas and a TIGHT WHITE LONG ASHES NEW YEAR!
Well I don’t know about you but I’m excited to give these a try! Thanks again and I’m glad you can’t count!
Once again we have an opportunity to thank the wonderful folks at General Cigar for their generosity. They take good careof their loyal customers like no other company in the industry. MIss Victoria is the best for the way she looks after Ward B. As for what comes to mind when I think Cohiba – I think of one of the classic cigar brand names in the world. As luck would have it, there is room in my coolerdor for 1 more box.
Great job Craig. Yes EVERYONE needs to join CRA message me via e-mail if you want info. ironmikecw@yahoo.com
Like fine Corinthian Leather…wait, what?
I really need to renew my CRA memership. Cohibas then, the first one I had way back when made me feel like I should be wearing a suit, a very rich smoke.
Lucky number 13! Thanks again. Haven’t really smoked too many Cohiba’s.
cohiba makes me think of castro.
What a great cigar by the #1 cigar maker and company, General Cigar! Thank you Ms V, GCC and Craig for offering these up!
Great Prize
Cohiba’s are GREAT smokes. General make a lot good smoking sticks.
had a Cohiba last night and enjoyed it very much.
I think of the Red Dot when I think about Cohiba but it has been a couple of years since I have smoked one. Thanks to you and General for the opportunity.
Who does love a Cohiba. This all Nicaragua blend should be great. Did we really miss anything from not having a Cuban Cohiba in the game ?
My fondest memory when I think of Cohiba cigars is how my brother could not pronounce their name. He would always say “Corina, or whatever.”
I have not had a Cohiba other than the Cuban variety. The description you provide makes these ones sound delish!
Never had any, would like to try
13 must be my lucky number!
Love to try the new Nic by Cohiba
I always think of Tony Soprano smoking (Cuban) Cohibas and giving them as gifts. Never had anything from them though. No matter the country of origin.
Thanks to you, Greg, for putting this all together and, a million thanks to all the companies that donated prizes this year. Merry Christmas, everyone!
I just smoked one of these last week!
Awesome cigar!
Would love to win a box for Merry Christmas to me:)
day 13, YES!
Cohiba – OH YEAH! Craig thanks for another great year of recommendations. Merry Christmas!!!
cohiba- the great divider. Some swear by them and some won’t even try because of price.
I love Cohiba cigars, unfortunately I only get to smoke one a year as a gift. This would be my Christmas wish!
Cohiba makes some fine cigars especially the Comador. Thanks Craig and good luck everyone.
Festivus for the rest of us. Now come here and wrestle your father.
congrats Xolotal, and thanks Craig for the contest! Those Cohiba Nics are supposed to be great!
Cohiba: my favorite special occasion cigar!
Bonus day! Thanks Craig.
Cohiba quality smokes
When the word ” Cohiba ” is even whispered, I think “Only the Best will do ” !
Cohiba is the brand name even the casual smoker knows for one reason: as close to great as you will get on this pass.
A Bakers Dozen – very nice Craig! Thanks to you for hosting & coordinating this contest, and especially to all your donors! Merry Christmas to all!!!!
nice cohiba!! thanks craig!
BOOM SHAKA LAKA!
Love me some Chiba!
I’ve heard good things about these.
Just enjoyed a Cohiba Black last weekend and it was outstanding.
I haven’t smoked many Cohiba, but I do like them, as I do with many Cameroon wrappers.
Just got told last night that my wife is pregnant, these would be great to celebrate with.
I think of decent go to smokes! would love to try these Nicaraguans though.
I’ve heard the Nicas are great.
57 Chevy and a nice Cohiba MMmmmm
Whats there to say about Cohiba? Excellence,and quality come to mind.
Very nice, Cohiba and a cup of coffee.
Thanks for a fun contest Craig.
Happy Festivus! When it comes to Cohiba, they are on the very short list for greatest cigars of all time!
Cohiba is my all time favorite!
My husband says Cohiba is the best in the world!
Obviously when I think of Cohiba I think of the highest quality and best flavor and aroma!!
Lucky 13, haven’t had a Cohiba by General in a few years, I’ve heard nothing but good things about the cohiba Nicaragua would love to give it a shot
Mmmm… Cohiba! Wish I could afford to smoke more than 1 a year.
I’d appreciate the opportunity to smoke this cigar….20 times!
Those look awesome! Thanks once again for your “12 Days” contest.
Thanks again Craig for such a great Christmas giveaway. It’s a really nice thing you do for your readers.
Fortunately, I’ve been a part of the General Cigar forum for a while and as such, I’ve been bombed by a gracious Victoria McKee (of General Cigar) with three or four of these cigars. I must say that they are very nice. Sooooo different from their Dominican brethren. Cohiba hit the nail on the head with this one.
I hope everyone out there has a very merry Christmas and a happy new year to boot !!!
Have not tried one of these as yet… looks and sounds like it is a winner!!
Nice! Those are great.
Bring on the Cohiba . . . I haven’t tried this yet, either. The box alone has me excited!
Lucky 13! Come on Cohiba!
Those look awesome.
Cohibas are my favorite premium brand and the Red Dot was the first cigar I fell in love with.
I have only ever had one Cohiba. I am always afraid to buy them because of the counterfeits. Would love to win an authentic box!
This would be a great way to dive into the cohiba world. Haven’t tried one yet.
Cohiba Nicaragua ummmm wow is all I can say!! Merry Christmas All!
Good one. Merry Christmas.
I’ve only ever had the ‘other’ cohiba, it would be interesting to compare the two.
Awesome!
Sweet! One more chance!
Wow pick me please
Nice looking cigars
What a pleasant surprise. Thanks cigarcraig. I love cohiba and idk who doesn’t. Solid cigar. Love to win.
