Cohiba Siglo I Tubed Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 18 August, 2013 by adrian

OOOOOOO K, so, I've just finished off my first Cohiba, the Siglo 1, picked it up from my local convenience/tobacco shop for 16 quid, I've been an occaisional cigar smoker and have usually stuck by the H.Upmanns simply because that's where I started and am a creature of habit, lately I have been venturing out into other brands and of course the Cohiba brand is extremely attractive as it has such a good name so when I saw this I thought why not.....at £16 from the shop and here at £12 I can 100% say that I was actually dissapointed! The cigar scent and look before lighting was absolute heaven but when lit it all went sideways, a very tight draw firstly made it a little hard work but the flavours were good, then it died, and died again, I think I had to relight this chap at least four times which completely ruined it for me, especially as its only a little fellow! I stayed with it in the hope that suddenly something wonderful will happen! It did'nt, I have'nt reviewed before but I feel bummed out as I was very much looking forward to it and had no time to actually enjoy the flavours as it was so much work! I'm guessing I had a bad stick, but given the price and the name I simply expected it at least to stay lit! Over this Id fully recommend the R&J #3 any day, much better price and as yet not had an even slightly dissapointing smoke! Sorry guys, had to be said! Gutted!
