Cohiba Siglo II Cigar - 1 Single
by Judah
I’m down to the last 1.5 inched of my first siglo II. It is an amazing smoke! Light and creamy from the start, it has lovely cedar notes to begin with, with just a hint of honey and vanilla in the second third. A little pepper coming through in the final third makes for a nice finish. The construction was impeccable. A smooth, oily surface without a flaw. It had a slightly spicy smell. I cut it easily with my cutter and was pleased to discover that it had a good draw, not too tight and not too loose. It lit easily with a match and immediately gave off plenty of nice thick smoke. So far, it has burned perfectly and the draw has been perfect (for me). A sweet, spicy aroma hanging in my living room from the smoke only adds to the overall enjoyment.
Move over Punch coronations, this is my new favourite mareva!
I’m burning my fingers now and I don’t want to put it out! I’m so glad I have more! This was the first Cohiba that I’ve smoked which really lived up to the hype/price tag! I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Nice stick for the money, even burn flavour was good and lasted a good while, already added to my next order and will use as an everyday smoke

Ive heard many good reports of CLE Asylum cigars and so I went with this Robusto.
I really enjoyed it. Remained very firm throughout and I enjoyed the flavours as I smoked it. It lasted me just over an hour I think.
Id definitely buy again although Im looking forwards to the Hercule for my next Asylum purchase.

Purchased in spring of 2016 as part of a fact-finding-mission in preparation for my wedding in September of the same year. Six-month reconnaissance took my senses from Cuba and the New World to Europe, Sumatra and beyond.
Starting my expedition with this Chinchalero Esportivo, with its smooth tasting blend of new world fillers - wasnt too imposing. Beneath the cocoon of cellophane, the small creases and imperfections in the wrapper assured me that it was truly hand-rolled. The thirty-eight ring gauge felt a little slim in the hand (my hands anyway) but led to a concentrated taste when throughout the petit-corona sized, five-inch length. Good flavour, not spicy but creamy and warm.
Smoke for around 30 minutes with a pale ale on a spring afternoon in the garden, a much needed rest after walking the dog and cutting the grass.
The Chinchalero Esporivo established a good baseline for me on my adventure, and I would revisit the pleasure of the smoke in my head before lighting up future cigars I considered to be comparable. I have a Chinchalero Torcidos resting peacefully in my

Amazing value short smoke, loads of spice in the first third, things mellowed in the second third and transitioned nicely into a smooth and leathery final third. Paired beautifully with a light, fruity barbera I was drinking at the time. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for an interesting short smoke.

In fairness I should point out I am not a fan of aromatics but occasionally try one on the recommendation of an experienced pipe smoking friend.
It smells good in the packet but is moist to the point of wetness. Perhaps I should have let it dry out but was eager to try it so filled the bowl and tried to light it. I went through half a box of matches before I got to the end of the gloopy stuff. The topping was overwhelming and far from pleasant - tongue bite severe. All in all a gruesome experience... unless you happen to be a masochist.
Of course I recognise that we are all different and this might be right up your alley. I can only say it wasn't up mine.
