Cohiba Siglo V Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 13 August, 2017 by RM

I asked a friend to bring me a cigar or two back from Cuba (2016) and was somewhat disappointed to see a slim package in gift wrap. I left it in my den for several months before needing some cheering up in Spring 2017. Wow. Much fatter than I had expected and much longer - deceptive packaging. I enjoyed smoking it so much I looked to buy another in UK and was rocked by the price. Exorbitant tax I thought. I have tried several premium brands over the last few years and got fed up with the burn quality of Romeos. The burn even-ness of these two Silo V's was even and encouragingly gradual from first to last draw, a big "plus" for me. The initial flavour was somewhat muted but not unpleasant and by the end of the first inch it was decidedly pleasant and not harsh in any way. The olfactory ambience had that true Cuban ring of aroma and added to the joy. Feeling tight fisted, I have smoked the second cigar in three separate evening sittings on our patio, each equally pleasant and satisfyingly mitigating the cost. This cigar will always be hovering close to my top choice. A great choice.
