Cohiba Siglo III

[adic88]

After a wonderful beef rib dinner at Tony Romas, i headed on over to The Embershoppe to check this local divan out. Almost inconceivable that i’ve never noticed such a good tobacconist in my local neighbourhood, despite them being in business for the better part of 3 years, but there it was, hidden in a small corner of the mall.

I didn’t know what i was looking for, but with the help of CK Lim, the owner, i settled on scouring his stock for ’07 cigars, knowing in advance that this was a particularly good year among recent times. We bombed through the many boxes he had on display, until we found a Cohiba Siglo III from MAR 07 which i bought for US$29 (tobacco taxes are a killer here in Malaysia).

It was an excellent specimen from a line of cigars, the Linea 1492 Cohibas, that is already known to produce some of the best cigars in the world, exclusively produced in the famed El Laguito factory in Havana. I couldn’t wait to take it home and light it up.
