<h3>Cohiba Red Dot Cigar</h3><h4>Description</h4>This recipe was developed with consultation from a friend who smokes a ton of these but with no mixing experience. I think this is very close to an actual Red Dot Cohiba. 

"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."​​

FLV Red Burley - Mainstay in many authentic tobacco mixes, and is a solid part of the base of this mix. Dark, earthy, dry, nutty. 

FLV Kentucky - Full bodied, some leaf, spice and caramel. Another addition to the base. 

FLV Cured - Another mainstay in many authentic tobacco recipes. Here it adds some sweetness, along with some nut and wood undertones. These 3 are our base to build the cigar on and we have started a wrapper. 

SC Cohiba - One of my favorite tobaccos and very fitting, surprisingly. This adds a bit more nuttiness, a little spice, and the leaf here completes our wrapper. 

FLV Lovage - this stuff is weird. Earthy, dank, wet grass. You're not going to taste it - but it's moisture allows us to push other tobaccos higher that would otherwise be dry. 

INW Tobacco Kent - Another weird one, but I absolutely love this stuff. Thick, dark tobacco, nuts, faint plum, a little caramel, and a hint of anise. This completes the Cohiba profile and adds so much complexity it's amazing. This should be up the sleeve of anyone mixing tobacco. 

FLV Wood Spice - Spice and wood. Adds to what we already have, and helps create the realistic 'smoking a cigar' profile. 

INW DNB - Ash. According to my cigar friend, the 'ash' taste when smoking a cigar changes depending on how quickly you smoke it and how far along you are. We both like it at 0.75%, but feel free to adjust that to personal preference. 

So - an authentic Red Dot Cohiba created by a cigar aficionado that knows nothing about mixing, and a mixer that knows very little about cigars. 

This mix will be dry and relatively flat for at least two weeks. Dig in after that, but thanks to the Kent, it needs 4 weeks to reach full potential, and will even continue to develop after that. 

Apparently Kent is no longer made or is very hard to find. If anyone would like some you can find me on reddit or DIY discord with the same username. I have plenty to spare. 

Edit: INW Gipsy King can be used at 5% in place of the Kent. I would also increase Lovage to 0.5%. <h4>Recipe</h4>FLV Cured Tobacco &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>1%</strong>FLV Kentucky Blend &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>2%</strong>FLV Lovage Root &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>0.25%</strong>FLV Red Burley &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>2%</strong>FLV Wood Spice &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>0.25%</strong>INW Tobacco Dirty Neutral (dnb) &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>0.75%</strong>INW Tobacco Kent &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>1.5%</strong>SC Cohiba &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>2.5%</strong><p>Total Flavor: <strong>10.25%</strong></p>
