Cohiba Siglo VI

[AverageJoe83]

So yet another nice day outside almost required another cigar review! Today I decided to try another new cigar to me a single Siglo VI I had picked up. First impressions, the scent along the wrapper has a very familiar scent, like fresh hay with cocoa infused into it, mouth watering! Then a brief sniff of the foot reveals a much more powerful chocolate smell hope this doesn't disappoint. Let's take it to flame!

1st Third: Mild strength. The smoke from this cigar is quite impressive, big, billowy, full of sweet creaminess, followed by a splash of cocoa, and a flavor of wheat grass, no, wheat bread that makes this an intreresting and yet very enjoyable smoke.

2nd Third: Mild strength. At this point the cigar has let me down a little, the flavors have subsided quite a bit to the point of only haveing hints left, though the creaminess has continued enough to still find it pleasent. One slight issue has cropped up, due to young age the burn has been uneven, not enough to affect it but enough to merit a recut for the last third.

3rd Third: Mild strength. After a recut and relight, then relight, then relight LOL, this cigar has really picked up again. The creaminess that has been there all along has become quite powerfull to coat the mouth, leaving a lasting taste of creamy chocolate with a hint of what I can desribe as hay, not too dissimilar to the wheat flavor of the first third, but more of an unrefined fresh field taste, but not unpleasent in any way. This one was worth smoking down to the nub and only gave in when it became too hot for my fingers to hold any more, though a note should be made that the smoke didnt reflect this same heat, nor did it bring any harshness.

Overall a fantastic smoke only marred by some burn/relight issues that I will attribute to young age. Also will note that the fading of flavor in the second third seems to bring the score down a little for me. In closing I would say this is a great cigar that with some time could be an amazing cigar.

93/100

IMO these need 5-10 years to come into their own.
