Cohiba Siglo II Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Friday 25 December, 2020 by Nathaniel

Ordered two of these in 2018 with the intention of ageing them in the humidor for a few years to mellow out the flavours, on Christmas Day after such a challenging year for everyone it felt like an appropriate time to pull these out and enjoy them after a nice meal with my partner in our new home. Lasted her about 40 minutes and me about an hour as I like to take my time and tend to smoke mine a little further down. During that time we discovered that a Sherry Sour cocktail is the perfect pairing, but Havanna Club 7yr works well too, as does a nice red (Bordeaux in this case). We each encountered slightly uneven burn but overall a great smoke. At first a creamy flavour with coffee notes and then slightly spicier towards the end. Cedar throughout, slightly saline. If you have a humidor I strongly recommend ageing a few of your go-to cigars, the difference even just a year or two makes is incredible (a little longer if you have the patience).
