MigsG Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hey FOH community, Has anyone ever compared/thought that the Reyes and Siglo I are equivalent in smoking pleasure? Personally, I can't bring myself to buy more Siglo I since I seem to get similar pleasure with the Reyes. They seem equally delicious and sometimes I can barely tell a difference in taste. Would love to hear others' opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryVT Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I have both in humidor, actually had a Reyes today. I tend to lean towards the siglo 1. Just my opinion, seems to be a little smoother. But have not smoked both with same age. My siglo have 5yrs, and Reyes 2 yrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigsG Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Haha cool, I just had a Reyes as well, that's what prompted this question. Thanks, I've only had Siglos from the 5 pack, so most likely these are young, even with some 3-6 mos time in my tupperdor. I guess I'm trying to decide whether to spring for a box of Siglo I's or keep those budgeted $$s for more Reyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryVT Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Your call, for me I go siglo. They tend to have a more consistent burn, seem to be more touch ups with reyes. At least my experience. Or hell get them both if you like them both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wailbait Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Great question. To me, they are pretty different. Since I don’t love Uber strong cigars, the Reyes wins on that point alone. But I also love the complexity of the Reyes. I understand why the Siglo I has its legions of fans but the herbaceous complexity of the Reyes is unique. Of course the above is contextualized with a very large “to each their own.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the answer after all is that each of them are equally delicious, and so have a place. I've had "mmmmm this is so good" moments with both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I have and enjoy both but prefer the Siglo 1, especially with 5-10 years of age on them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic101 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Reyes for me. real kick when young, smooth and complex with age (after 3 years) and continues to improve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbeaver Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Love them both but prefer the Siglo 1. Especially since my favorite Trinidad is a Coloniales. So each is perfect for me. CB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perla Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 My choice would be the Reyes. As @Optic101 just wrote. Have a box from 08 and these are kickass flavor bombs. Sometimes the construction & wrapper is very poor, so just wait until President call them out and than dig deeep ??? just my 0,02$. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKostyan Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 In my opinion, these cigars are identical in nature, different in taste. Choose only one of them - to deprive yourself of diversity. Cost? In my opinion it is not significant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatPete Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I find the Reyes much smoother than the Siglo I, but I’ve gone off both a little due to smoking a lot of underfilled ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bring up a good point - maybe I should keep a few Siglo on hand not to deprive myself of their enjoyment as well. At this point I'm definitely leaning towards the Reyes.

NSXCIGAR Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 These are two cigars that are difficult to compare in terms of anything but personal preference. I don't think I could say one is superior to the other objectively despite their being very different cigars in nearly every way. Personally, I prefer the Reyes for various reasons but I can't say it's a better cigar than the Siglo I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigsG Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Thanks, that just solidifies the fact that I will need to have a little of each at all times. Both give me satisfaction. Since Reyes is cheaper, I'll probably have more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
