Video Review - Cohiba Medio Siglo

Thanks again for this addition to your Review Series, Ken and Rob. I look forward to the upcoming H.Upmann Magnum 54. I did a little research today on this Cohiba Medio Siglo Release and found this description for it...

The new Medio Siglo features a completely new vitola in the range of sizes of Habanos, its dimensions being a tribute to two other classic vitolas in Línea 1492. The Cohiba Medio Siglo has the 52 ring gauge (20.64 mm) of the Cohiba Siglo VI and the length (102 mm) of the Cohiba Siglo I, leading to a modern, small format Habano that is completely new for the brand, with a smoking time of around 30 minutes and the medium strength flavour that characterises Línea 1492.

So, I wonder if the blend in this is supposed to resemble a Cohiba Siglo I in its youth rather than a Robusto which it's often compared against.

Given that it's the latest addition to the Siglo line, I'd expect the blend to resemble more the Sig VI than the Coro. But haven't smoked any so far myself (and likely won't do so in the foreseeable future, unless gifted...)
