Geo17pip Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi Guys, Ive been thinking about FINALLY pulling the trigger on my first ever box of Cohiba's! I have had singles of the Siglo I and II in the past and both were good. I now have a new job and would like to invest in a box of Cohibas! What do you guys think of the current stock of Siglo II's? How are the 2013's smoking? Are they any good? Let me know what you guys think, thanks! Jorge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedpirate Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi Jorge I finished a box of siglo IIs recently, they were great. My problem with cohiba is that they only really show their true colours after several years of aging. For smoking young, they are kind of wasted at that price. They still were good but only the last third. A lot of them had little flavour first third, grassy hay for second and then the chocolate and coffee kicked in for the final. For the price of cohibas you would want the full stick to be great and that only happens after years of aging. They are a great cigar for laying down but perhaps consider something else if you will be smoking the box within the next year or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo17pip Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Thanks for the info Stonedpirate. I wouldnt really be smokig these now. I would try one or two but would rather let them age and be an investment for the future. I'm still young (27) haha so I have some time and can smoke them in my 30's.

Bulldog4 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 if your going for siglos I suggest paying the extra and getting the VIs they are that much better I find.. my own opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedpirate Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 My siglos were OPG FEB 14 and were perfect candidates for aging. 3 or 4 years on them would be a great investment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santela Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I don't know, there are so many good marevas out there, the Siglo II just doesn't seem to be worth it. For the same amount of money you could almost get a cab of 50 PLPCs or a box each of BPCs and Monte 4s. I've only smoked a couple Siglo IIs and while they are good cigars I can't convince myself to invest in a box due to the price point. I did however get myself a box of CoRos to age for my 30th birthday (I'm also only 27). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Lay down a box of greasy looking Siglo IV for as long as possible. You will not regret it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo17pip Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hmm maybe a 10 box of VI's? I just want a nice not TOO expensive box of Cohibas to lay down and the Siglo II at their price point dont seem too bad for the PC size. All the other boxes are over 300 bucks. Cant drop that kind of coin yet. womp womp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepea Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 What about a 15 box of coros? Again they need laying down but they are an excellent robusto when aged. We can always argue about value for money...and if that is your concern, don't buy cohibas! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 There's been some great recent production, just like with any Cohiba you need a good box. If the Siglo 2 are tickling your fancy then grab some, pricy but with a little rest, depending on your tastes, they are fantastic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo17pip Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 I had a siglo II that came from a cardboard pack once and it was amazing. It must have had some age on it because sometimes you can just tell from how the wrapper looks and ploom. It also had the new band so it could be too old. Anyway i thought it was great smoke so i can see these benefiting with age. Thank Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 PLPC and call it a day, only siglo worth getting IMO is the siglo 6... Well maybe the 4 too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicko Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 For cohiba money I would wait for one of Rob's hand picked 12:12 or LFTH Buying cohiba blind is a risk v reward imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trader1974 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Went through a fiver of these from 2013 recently and they were good. With some age I think they could have been great smokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo17pip Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Cool thanks guys. I got lucky and snagged a box from Robs recent 12:12, looking forward to these but the plan is to age them and have one once in a while to see how they are doing.

rtrimbath Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 For cohiba money I would wait for one of Rob's hand picked 12:12 or LFTH Buying cohiba blind is a risk v reward imo I just did this the other day when HQ CoRos popped up on the 12;12. I figured that if I was going to drop the coin, I might as well do it proper. They were at a great price too by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo17pip Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 So I had one of the Siglo II's after resting for about two months on Christmas. What a bad cigar! I picked one that didnt look to good to be the first to go and man, it just didnt have any flavor and the wrapper was crap. Any idea on how long I should wait before trying another? The cigar was just, boring...damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElJefe Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I just sampled a Siglo II from my POU JUN 13 Box the other day if I recall. It was a nice creamy smoke, pleasant all the way thru and showed its Cohiba DNA with the grass and dark coffee during the 2/3rd and onwards. Still needs 2 yrs of rest or so as the richness in its DNA is there but needs time to flourish. I concur in that buy a box or two and lay them down for a couple of years. Rob's PSP and HQ offering will always be the best to experience the full Cohiba marca potential given its due resting / aging time. Seek out a couple of aged Cohibas to satisfy your craving and go with the offerings that are smoking good fresh per the awesome input from all the BOTLs and SOTLs here. Wishing everyone long ashes in the best of health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo17pip Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Cheers Jorge! I will bury my box beep in my aging coolidor, away from curious minds. . Sounds good haha. It’s amazing how cigars can vary from box to box and year to year. I have smoked a Siglo II in a cardboard pack a friend gave me that he got in Cuba and it was amazing, one of the best cigars I have smoked (good thing I have one more left). It had the new band on so it was no older than 2003 and I smoked it in 2013. So it could possibly have had 10 years on it, who knows! I think I’ll keep ageing mine so I can recreate that experience. Maybe check back in at 3 years and then 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
