Cohiba Medio Siglo (psp) WEEKEND REVIEW COMPETITION

[prodigy]

I have been trading and splitting boxes with@Winchester21 since I started not long ago. The trades are usually tilted in my favor, and I have received some really good smokes from him. This psp media siglo was gorgeous.

 

I'm helping my parents renovate their house this weekend, so I brought some of my gifted sticks to review.

 

1/3

Very good cohiba hallmark flavor coming through. The draw is perfect and the flavours and smoke output are top notch!

 

2/3

The smoke started tasting HOT and not much smoke output. My fear was realized when I could feel heat well below the burn line. Tunneling finally broke through, and the entire second third was lost.

 

3/3

I salvaged the last third by burning out the tunnel issue with my grenade torch lighter. The last inch or so was saved. This cigar had a surprising element of chocolate that I don't normally get from the regular cohiba line. Even the other media siglos I've had have never included a chocolate note. Wish it didn't tunnel on me, but still a fantastic smoke. Thanks Chris!

Too bad about the tunneling, but notes of chocolate are always welcome in my book.  Thanks for the review.

Yea, I love chocolate notes. Even with the tunneling problem I still enjoyed the smoke. If only these sticks weren't so expensive I might buy a box. I don't really see the value of these when compared to a coro or Monte PE.

...and the coro and Monte PE are terrific sticks.

Another nice review!

My nomination for cigar of the year. Aside from the taste and quality they are usually available on 24/24. Many are missing out because of the odd ring gauge and length. A great substitute for high end robustos which last literally seconds on 24/24. They fall into the high end hq/psp category in most cases. Same goes for the tubos Glad u enjoyed

Nice review. Looking forward to them. Bought some from 24:24, letting them settle before trying one. Thank you.
