El Presidente Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I hope you enjoy the video review which we completed earlier this month. if you are keen on a box of the Cohiba Siglo VI from this code, they are listed on the pinned "my picks" thread. Contact Diana. 1
joeskow Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Another great review guys.. Have a box of hq bto's from sep 13 and only smoked 1 so far but it was incredible and probably one of my favorite cigars of the year. The wrappers really are a sight to behold.. I really want to age this box as these have the potential to be the best box in my humi, but I have to do everything in my power to stay away. Great stuff hsa! 1
Skyfall Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 The drink is called a Michelada !!!!!! Very Common in my part of the world, even sold in pre made cans! 1
Rye Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 My buddies don't believe me when I tell them how good these are fresh. Great review guys! Thanks for the slippers this time Ken
El Presidente Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Thanks for the slippers this time Ken When Ken wears slippers...it is officially winter

I really want to age this box as these have the potential to be the best box in my humi, but I have to do everything in my power to stay away. Great stuff hsa! I have had the BTO, UML, POU (2013) and the LUB 2014. Not a struck match between them in terms of flavour and consistency. Admittedly they are cigars from boxes I have picked for FOH so PE and HQ. Consistently 93-96 point cigars/ 5 ***** / 9 out of 10 / 12 out of 13 on the Smith scale. It does bring a smile to my face given how labored the process was in picking great Siglo VI pre the past 8 months.
rmill3r Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Still haven't tried anything Cohiba yet, and now I just can't wait. I've mostly been considering the Robusto and Siglo IV. Love these reviews. Also, I'm 90% sure I have the same shirt as Rob. Tommy Hilfiger?
Stanislaw Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 i really love all the vids... you guys really capture what it's like to be sitting with friends and just enjoying the time, the smoke, poking fun at each other... and just had the 2nd from an HQ BTO 13 box myself while watching team USA pull off the win... surrounded by friends, enjoying the time, the smoke.....
Ken Gargett Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Also, I'm 90% sure I have the same shirt as Rob. Tommy Hilfiger? peacock vomit? roadkill?
cigardoc Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 does this mean that genios from this period will be good as well? I've read that the blend is the same as in VI
rmill3r Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 peacock vomit? roadkill? I wear only brand name peacock vomit, thank you very much.
Ken Gargett Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 so not t I wear only brand name peacock vomit, thank you very much. so not the same as rob, then.
Bartolomeo Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Great review, just split a box of these BTO Sig 6 from Czar w @Laxman, very good ROTT
El Presidente Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 does this mean that genios from this period will be good as well? I've read that the blend is the same as in VI I will see if I can find a Genios from this period and review. I agree that the blend is very similar. A few years back we conducted a test where we swapped wrappers from Genios and Siglo VI. The wrapper changed them into a Genios and Siglo VI. We thought it was remarkable. The problem with Genios is getting great wrappers. Far too many rough, thick, sandpaper wrappers.
El Presidente Posted June 18, 2014 Author Posted June 18, 2014 Also, I'm 90% sure I have the same shirt as Rob. Tommy Hilfiger? Ganton Shirt. Always liked that shirt. ken won't wear a shirt unless it has a stain or hole on/in it.
PapaDisco Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Ganton Shirt. Always liked that shirt. ken won't wear a shirt unless it has a stain or hole on/in it. Or a bottle opener . . . Personally, I like the shirt . . . but then I have taste. Ken on the other hand, has clearly sold out to peer pressure and is now wearing slippers! Cannot one be true to one's self? Where art thou soles Kenneth?!
jeremyk Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Great vid I really enjoy y'all's reviews simply for the fact that I have yet to smoke many of the cc's y'all review Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
olotti Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Rob, would you say the Siglo VI's now have legs to em to last 10yrs?? In other words if one was going to invest in a special box to smoke maybe once or twice a year would these hold up over 10yrs or maybe even real long term?
El Presidente Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 Rob, would you say the Siglo VI's now have legs to em to last 10yrs?? In other words if one was going to invest in a special box to smoke maybe once or twice a year would these hold up over 10yrs or maybe even real long term? Honest response....no idea. Hunch? .....they aren't far short of the Cohiba Siglo VI 2003 at initial release (I can't recall a 2002 that I tasted). 2003 are still smoking brilliantly now. I can't see a reason why great examples of the current batch won't smoke the same in 10 years. They (current) simply share so much DNA from the 2003...which also smoked beautifully young. * Note there is still some current rubbish Siglo VI. i wouldn't spend my coin on USE etal.
Paul3 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 I could have stopped watching after that initial close up of Rob's reaction to Ken's liquid concoction...classic
Colt45 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Thanks for the review. For me, some interesting points - expenditure / value, smokeability / aging, current production overall.... perhaps topics for another time. Cheers.
ayepatz Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Nice review lads. One for Ken, the parrot-lover:- A guy goes into a pet store to buy a parrot, and, in the cage, sees three for sale. The first has a gorgeous red plumage, the second a stunning blue plumage, but the third one is a mess - all scrawny and flea ridden, like a rat with wings. "How much for the red parrot?" he asks the proprietor. "Ten thousand pounds," comes the answer. "10 grand? For a parrot? You're kidding me. Why so much?" he asks. "That parrot is an operatic soprano," replies the proprietor. "It'll sing you any soprano aria from any opera you ask it." "I can't afford that!" says the customer. "How much for the blue one?" "Twenty thousand for that one, mate," answers the proprietor. "You've gotta be kidding me," says the man. "What does that one do?" "Italian tenor," replies the proprietor. "Sing you any Verdi or Puccini aria you like." The customer sighs and reluctantly looks at the bedraggled mess that is the third parrot. "Guess I better have that one then." The proprietor says, "No problem. That'll be £50,000." "50 grand?" says the customer. "What the f**k can that thing do that's worth 50 grand?" "We're not sure," says the proprietor, "but the other two call it Maestro."
