Cohiba Siglo II - Ode To The 40 And 42s Review Week

[irratebass]

Siglo 2 - I don't know the box code, I believe this was part of a sampler from Seattledude (thanks brother).

 

A little tid bit of info, this is my 1st time ever smoking a Siglo II

 

Pre light - honey, hay, heavy salt on my lips

 

1/3 - smoothened out after 1st couple of puffs, honey, hint of peanuts and butter, toast. Ash is a nice white gray in color, no touch ups needed

 

 

 

2/3 - getting a sweetness that is overpowering the toast, but it's not a bad thing, Ash is a bit flaky, but that doesn't bother me.

 

 

3/3 - got a little harsh (would this be the mongrel I've heard so much about?) The sweetness is all but gone now. On the retro I'm now getting a burnt popcorn flavor, very odd, and I feel like the cigar is getting too hot now, will rest it a bit and keep trying, but I don't have high hopes. Heavy touch ups were needed.

 

Calling it, can't do anymore.

 

Final smoking time 58 mins heh

 

Final score - 85

 

If the 1st & 2nd flavors would have stayed the score would have been higher... Didn't hate it though

It's a generalisation for sure, but the Siglo series is one of those cigars that benefits when you let it settle, at least from my point of view. Cheers for the review!
