Cohiba Siglo II EGT JUL 20 (PCRW)*

[benfica_77]

Thanks to @MoeFOH for suggesting petit coronas for this week's review. I've been hesitant to smoke any cohibas lately for obvious reasons and haven't had one this year. I was debating between the Siglo II and a ERDM Choix Supreme (best cigar I've had this year from box code LOS DIC 20) and i pulled the trigger on the Siglo II. 

I am a big fan of the Petite Corona vitola along with the Robusto/Hermoso No. 4 as my favour vitolas and make the bulk of my collection. 

Pre-light the cigar was giving off a very pleasant cinnamon smell. The photo doesn't do it justice but it does have a great sheen on it. It came from a EGT JUL 20 PSP box. 

The cigar was the lovely balance between the cuban "twang", cinnamon and hay. It did burn a bit quick but the draw was excellent.Ash was a bit flaky and burn was uneven at the start but it sorted itself out. Cuba being Cuba....a very respectable 92. 

For me the Top 3 Petite Coronas 

1.  PLPC - Great flavour and great value

2. Siglo II - Balanced and refined  

3. Monte No. 4 - Cocoa all day in a great size 

I was looking at Cuban cigar website looking at the list of petit coronas and noticed there are 2 Mille Fleurs a RYJ and a Partagas...I think I've only seen the RYJ before. Learned something new. 

In this vitola I still want to try the H. Upmann Regalias.....I do like the Upmann flavour profile.
