Aged Cohiba Siglo IV (2006)

[JohnS]

Cohiba Siglo IV

Format: Corona Gorda

Dimensions: 46 ring gauge x 143 mm

Date: Saturday 2nd of April, 2016

Cold Draw: Barnyard and oak/wood with a hint of spice. The draw is a little tight

Lit: 12:52 p.m.

Initial Draw: I have to draw a little harder than I would normally like and the first few draws have minimal smoke, but then the cigar gets going.

First Third: Mild-medium in strength, the grass is more subdued in flavour than the cream and honey I'm getting. The smoke continues to be a tad underwhelming, but grass is becoming more dominant. Halfway through the first third, the construction is outstanding, it's now smoking well. The intensity builds towards medium strength.

Second Third: A little coffee/oak-woodiness comes through now. Body is medium halfway through the second third. Towards the end of the second third, I'm getting coffee and spice now. The cigar continues to be medium with very pleasant spice notes.

Final Third: Grass/tobacco, a little over medium with good smoke output. There's great construction until the end, smoking well with no harshness or bitterness. Nubbed at 85 minutes.

Very nice set of aged Siglo reviews, John. Which ended up being your overall favorite?

The Siglo III, due to the vitola dimensions really. Just perfect!
