Let’s be honest though, flavor wise sig II doesn’t even come close to the ms, and strength-wise the Coro just doesn’t match the ms .....I totally feel you on value, which is ultimately subjective anyway, but these cigars really are of high quality and deserve a place in your humi apart from your interest in sig II or Coro....I think it’s an entirely different experience in its own right ...and if it’s right for you I say dive in

Oh I agree, I have a cab I got in Cuba and some singles left when I grabbed them here back in 2017. They are tasty smokes and I agree, stronger than CoRo. You are right it’s all subjective. But I was just referring to value currently.

Good to know they are fantastic at 3 years. With some luck I will get my singles with a 2019 box date or earlier. Already having a couple years age and I could swing sitting on them for only one more year.

For me personally any cigar that needs to be smoked especially slowly or it will be ruined generally doesn't work for me. Not that I smoke fast all the time (my last perlas was 45 minutes and my last marevas 70 minutes), but more often than not when I smoke one of these cigars that needs to be smoked slowly it soon takes a bad turn and goes downhill from there.

I understand that and would agree.

That's precisely why I stopped smoking the HUHC and Monte Media Corona, just too small, got too hot, and went too fast, even when slowing myself down.

I have always been a fairly fast paced smoker (a puff every 30 seconds probably), but several months ago started to consciously slow myself down to about one puff a minute and have not only had them obviously last longer, I have found that they taste better too.

Slowing down has probably been my best Cigar related decision ever.

Yes I have similar issues with the HUHC.

I would describe the Medio Siglo issue as closer to the HUHC than the Media Corona. The Media Corona you smoke too fast and it burns hot and smoke times is too short (like all cigars), but the flavours aren't ruined. The Medio Siglo and the HUHC you smoke too fast and the flavours are greatly affected.

I will echo what many have already said - it's a wonderful, tasty cigar - stronger than a CoRo and lasting longer than the avg PR.  Expensive but not outrageous for a treat yourself smoke.  My favorite at the moment.

You're killing me Cory. What I wouldn't do to turn back the clock and return to Nov '18. Not only did I get to meet guys like you, Nino, El Prez, Ben, and the Mikes... but it was my first trip back to Cuba after 38 years. Brings a smile to my soul.

I can't wait to catch this side eye again! @nino took this picture and cracks me up every single time!

I wonder what I said? Haha

I have tried retrohaling a few times and every time it choked the crap out of me and aggravated my asthma a bit, so I can't do it.

Probably something awesome. @nino and his candid camera. Well played sir. I think this was from Nov 19 cause my arm tats reflect that, along with my missing wife. 😅 

We all put that lunch at Espacios together via this forum. What a great time!

Yes we did @ElJavi76 and yes it was Nov. 19 - last trip to the island for me.

God I am missing it so much it hurts - great memories !

Cohiba MS tastes different than any other Cohiba I've smoked. 

I enjoy Espies and Sig VI's. They don't pack the punch that the C MS does. I'm not interested in that strong of a cigar. Stronger than even the Sig I.

I cant wait to start planning another one, or 3!!

[El Presidente]

I find them a nice substitute for a Behike 52 . The CMS is a tad shorter but it is a big, rich cigar. 

 

[Hammer Smokin']

Now that is how you sell a cigar! Well done Prez.

I'm not great with descriptions, but the few CMS's I smoked last year were all "richer" than the Behike 52 I smoked last year.

Huge fan of the flavour but I am a flavour junkie.
