Cohiba Siglo II MSU SEP 18 (COHRW)

[rcarlson]

This was my breakfast smoke today. Generally, I have found these to be little powerhouses.  Not this guy. 

Opening flavours of light spice, wood,cream, and some grassiness.  Certainly not rich. A bit flat and lacking the testicular fortitude of the others from the same batch.   

Lightly rolled.  A little looser than I prefer and what I am used to with Cohiba of any size.  On the upside it gave out tons of smoke and a consistent, even burn.  

The Sig II is the smallest rg in a Cohiba I've ever gone with.  I was optimistically hoping for the traditional blast of subtle, clean sweetness but found myself disappointed.  Mostly toasted woodiness, little twang, and lack of discernible depth or evolution.  Like a surfer on flat seas, I kept waiting for the surge that never came.

As with so many Cohibas, my first love, I was left wanting.  Will I continue to get up on this horse?  Hell yeah.  I have experienced true bliss with Cohiba.  Just not this morning.

I'll give this one a C+.  I know the Sig II to have more potential.  Can't win them all with Cohiba but you almost never lose.

Have some PSP Siglo II's resting right now.  I am going to wait until next year to try one.
