Cohiba Siglo V 2001

[Bartolomeo]

-Old school band

-Typical tight Cuban draw initially and continues that way for a while, I hated this when I first started smoking but soon realized this is typical of a good Cuban

-First couple of puffs produce a lemon zest along with a hint of the typical Cohiba cream/grassy, very light in nature

-Need to smoke this slow to maximize all of its potential

-1/3 is just under Medium in body with enough flavor to keep your attention

-Ash is a nice tight, log as you would expect with good amounts of smoke the entire time

-2/3 wonders into some light cocoa encompassed by citrus and honey/cream flavors, grass has turned to wheat along with some sweet wood and tannins

-Wrapper became a little brittle in 2/3 and I had to some emergency surgery to stop the bleeding

-Last 1/3 was sort of like a Lemon Crème cookie, very light still but with some nice flavor

-9.15/10

Good review Mate. Nice cigar and the pics go a long way. I have some of these that just rolled 15 yo. Maybe I will have to break one out and see how it is smoking.

You've got a considerable amount of great cigars Bart. I'm salivating.
