Cohiba Siglo II UAO Nov 2018 (FEBW3)

[Pmo13]

 

Probably the only selfie I’ve ever taken with a cigar, as the forward facing camera is the mortal enemy that of all!

That being said, this was a celebratory smoke (review is from a more recent stick from the same box) whose context overwrote my baser photographic instincts lol This Siglo II came from a UAO November 2018 box, and thankfully I still have about a half dozen left.
 

Like everything from the Linea 1492, its runs a bit milder than the Classica. Grassy hay dominates the profile from this box with some roasted coffee and nuts noticeable, but floating in the background. Towards the middle of the stick that coffee note starts to become more pronounced and even picks up a bit of unsweetened vanilla character. That profile stays pretty consistent towards the end and strength stays a solid medium.

Love these sticks and will rue the day when this box kicks the dust, as I will absolutely not be replacing it. Stick gets a solid B+ which is acceptable at $11 per (picked the box up on IHav back in the day for $275) but with todays prices, it’s genuinely not even close to a solid value anymore.

 

Edit for some stache context: day after Thanksgiving we have a family tradition and some of us enjoy bothering our significant others for 24 hours.
