Cohiba Siglo I UAO NOV 18 (CRW)

[slowsmoke]

This is a single received in a trade with @MigsG, my first ever Siglo I.  I decided to give it a whirl this morning in place of my latest weekend-morning-coffee crush, the Trinidad Reyes.

The wrapper, and cold draw, were muted, perhaps a little hay.  It was a very pretty little cigar, and the draw was perfection, so off we go.

Within the first third, I get a nice nutty flavor, light like a peanut, but not peanut.  Some other nut ?

The nuttiness fades, and the whole rest of the cigar is just dried hay/grass.  A couple times I thought/hoped a bit of honey, but unfortunately not enough.  Near the end, some medium coffee.

Overall, it is pretty much in keeping with all of my various Siglo experiences.  Mild town.  Nothing offensive, nothing great, just an average cigar.

More importantly, and I’m sure all of you are excited to learn, I have decided to change my official FOH rating system to match what I actually put in my own notes that I keep as I smoke through boxes: Crap, Decent, Good, Very Good, Excellent.

This one was Decent.  Hard for me to see how even a few years would put it much past Good.

Thanks for reviewing. Too bad it wasn't as great as some Siglo Is I've had before, with more coffee/honey. I gotta send you another.
