Do you happen to still be around? And does this pure cohiba you had or where working at one time still exist? Are there seeds around to play with? The reason i ask os because i was gifted a pack of seeds labeled Mexi - Col (Barra Cohiba) in doing some research the Mexican Was Barra Crinkle made by RC Colas and the Col was called Cohiba. Im coming to find out that maybe the cohiba wasnt of colombian lineage or maybe it was a col leaning pheno of the cohiba. Its all a mystery as the person who gifted me this pack passed suddenly (rip stoney) some may know of him he was a fairly new online friend and we just clicked and instantly had lots to talk about and i sure do miss our chats. Anyrate back to the subject, im trying to get some answers to what im growing i only had 10 seeds 6/10 popped and i got 5 females and 1 male. I was hoping for more males to further the diversity but luckily there is some good diversity in the females and the male is very promising and not straggly at all. I am making more seeds of these obviously as i can no longer get this work and the only way to keep it is by preserving it, but i have this one wild female in the lot thats causing me to find this article and do some digging because she just seems so different and special. Seems that prayer i asked stoney at the start of this project was answer and he blessed me with this lady. Id love to grow the cohiba pure against the hybrid to see the similarities, and to answer your question if stoney had your cohiba which i do believe it came from a private source(private club/group) than yea the people in NA did use it and now im furthering it.I wonder if those beans are at all related to the strain I sent to various growers in North America 13 years ago, and if they are, how the intervening crosses and/or phenotype selection have impacted high and growing habit.
Scai, a friend is running some Cohiba right now indoors and this summer moving her outside in my greenhouse. I believe they're the Brazilian genotype.That Cohiba is very elusive, sought after and could find only few threads or descriptions.
I wish that some one could have some input to this.
