Date Added: Friday 26 February, 2016
I purchased this after reading a review in the Cigar Scene monthly magazine. Initially I enjoyed it thoroughly with a nice aroma and a very good construction along with a lasting ash. I enjoyed this with a couple of cups of black Italian coffee. The flavours of wood, pepper and spices on the initial draw followed by a slightly bitter aftertaste of dark chocolate/cocoa. However, just after half way down the cigar became very bitter and sour. It was a real turn for the worse and I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me so I handed the cigar to my dad (he took a draw at the start to taste it) and he was shocked at how the cigar had changed flavour so quickly. At this price I feel like I paid £13 for half a cigar (a bit pricey). Overall I feel a bit disappointed that I had to give up, but the experience became simply unpleasant.

This is a rather fast and hot burning tobacco, its got plenty of flavour going for it. Although, I find that if you mix it with some "American black cherry" or "Mellow virginia" or "American Vanilla" pipe tobaccos, you will find that if you mix it properly 50/50 mix You will find it smokes alot slower, its not so hot and you get some extra flavours also.
But if you want to smoke it on its own then thats fine too. Regards Dave

Nice size and takes a lot of water however no magnetic attachment supplied, just plastic with two sticky patches. Slightly disappointed.

This cigar produced a wonderful aroma from the moment it was lit. A really nice draw and an even burn helped to make this an incredibly satisfying smoke. I enjoyed a variety of flavours right the way through and just didn't want this cigar to end. An hour of complete relaxation and enjoyment. I wouldn't hesitate to choose the Siglo II again.

Man oh man what a smoke, ordinarily slightly out of my price range but definitely the Rolls Royce of cigars. Got 5 of these beauties as Christmas present couldn't resist and broke after 3 weeks in humidor, although humidor set correctly saw white marks and panic set in, fear of miold! Old hand assured me it was blush, everything positive has been said about these, very smooth, great taste and aroma, lasted almost two hours savoured every moment, accompanied by several glasses Bushmills 10 year old single malt. Dear C Gars you should consider stocking fine Irish whiskers as they are superior to Scotch.

Reliable, accurate and very easy to set up. I feel a lot more confident having it in the humidor.
