Siglo V SOP FEB 20 (CLvROWAS)*

[Chibearsv]

I know I'm late with this review but I enjoyed this cigar so much, I had to throw my 2 cents in.  As you all probably know, I am definitely on the Cohiba bandwagon.  Today's choice is a younger Siglo V from 2020

Aroma at cold is cut straw/hay which is one of my favorite aromas and always signals Cohiba to me.

I'm not going to break this one into thirds since there isn't a ton of transition except that the strength ramps up as it goes.  Here's what I'm getting - first puff is cream and orange - love it.  Now as it smokes down, add some forest floor funk, some straw twanginess, some honey sweetness, a tiny bit of coffee bitterness and probably a few more flavors I'm not equipped to decipher.  I've had these aged before and they have been decadent and perfectly balanced with dominant orange and cream which I love. 

This younger version is just a little bumpier since the flavors haven't melded together quite yet.  I'll let them rest for a while but this is a terrific cigar and worthy of any praise given to Cohiba.  A++

Goddamn these are hard to find now though! Five packs used to appear on 24:24 pre covid, and I’m kicking myself for waiting for the cab that never came. 
 

Nice review, thanks.

I only ever see them in 5s or 15s. Bonkers prices on the 15s to boot.

My palate sings the praises of Cohiba, my wallet sees the virtue of Guantanamera... 😔

Thank you. I got lucky finding a 25 cab when I did. I’ll keep seeking these out.

Nice review. I had my first V a couple weekends back. The only downside was knowing I only have 14 left.
