My first cuban ever was a cohiba and I dont remember them being that unpleasant... overrated yes, poorly rolled yes, but not as bad as your description. I have one in the humie now that will probably get smoked this weekend.
I'm having another Perdomo cuban bullet right now with a bellyfull of steak, a glencairn full of Tobermory, and some ridiculous good news swimming around in my head. And its not as hot out here as it has been... thats always good...
Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude

Yes, and I would never tell someone their cigar choice was inferior. I am not trying to throw off on someones choice, but the tastes I described are exactly what I taste when I smoke one. It's just for me Cohiba hits me nastily. Its like Wexford Ale. I am a beer lover and I always say the worst beer I ever had was pretty darn good, however Wexford Ale makes me (literally) gag. I have tried to like Cohiba, but can't do it. That said I love my brothers that do enjoy it, and would love to smoke a cigar with them....just not one of their Cohibas 
All that said, Ihave been lucky with Cohibas in that, while I can't stand the taste the few I have had were rolled well, something I can't always say for my beloved Montecristo.

I have been liking the Casa Magna, but anything from Manuel Quesada is usually good, and I really like the oily Colorado wrapper.

Original Backwoods have been a longtime friend of mine, however, I don't smoke too often now unless camping--even then very rarely.
I have a friend who is a huge lover of pipes, I have yet to try pipe smoking (not saying I ever will) but if I do I know exactly the pipe for me...

Try Rattray's Old Gowrie. It is one of their other Virginia tobaccos, a little fresher taste than the more aged Marlin flake
Yes it is on the list to try... I've got a few in the chest to get through first though.
Red Rapparee is said to burn rather like a fine cigar and I have to say I did enjoy it.
