Cohiba Siglo III 20/21 (XNY23)

[Chas.Alpha]

From a 5’ver that I won on the FOH Cohiba review weekend a year or two ago.

First off, I am NOT a Cohiba-o-phile. They’re good, no doubt. Perhaps their subtlety escapes me?

Cold draw is firm. Cinnamon and citrus. The light was perfect, just the way I learned from Ken watching the videos. Well under medium body and flavor. Cinnamon, maybe some holiday spice and a touch of citrus. Whatever Cohiba is, this is spot on. Pleasant. Light/light/medium. Burn and draw are perfect. Damn pleasant. With the exception of the ESPY, I’m still not a Cohiba fan, but I am taking into account the price/enjoyment<2>^ equation. The fault is mine for that, not the cigar.          

2nd half builds in classic Cuban style. Not an edge to be found. Full medium cinnamon, holiday spice, a bit of fresh cream and citrus. Thoroughly enjoyable. If I could afford them they would certainly be in my monthly rotation. Will buy 2 extra lottery tickets next week!

93/94 all day.

Love me some Sig III. It's the one Cohiba that I may buy more of when I inevitably run out of the cab I'm working through.
