El Presidente Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Cohiba Siglo VI Aged Aug 2003. No photo's so I apologise. In between my Poker tourny, Kelsey from Colarado visiting and surgeon Gearge Fielding (NY) visiting I had not time :-) These cigars are from the PCC aged list. 5:30 Pm and I am on my 3rd. George tried one and purchased a box. Simply the best Cohiba I have tried this decade. Good wrappers...nothing to write home about. Construction A1. Cut the cap and the flavour pure clean tobacco. Torched the end. Pure.....virginal toffee / tobacco in a medium body. So bloody sweet I draw and draw to succle on the bosom of greatness. Body increasing to medium full. Complexity is such that it defies description. Coffee/toffee/cream the flavours linger on and on and on. The profle remains to the very end. It gets stronger as you flow through its length. All three from the box rate as my top 10 cigars of the decade. You know I don't wax lyrical often. If I go to my grave not smoking another cigar I want this one. I have kept 2 boxes for myself. Yes I have had a few wines.....however whoever purchases a box I want a review and I will replace the box with ANYTHING else you wish (regardless of price) if you do not feel the same.

El Presidente Posted May 2, 2008 Author Posted May 2, 2008 Shall do a full review Tuesday with pics (Monday is a public holiday) and do a side by side with an 06/07 Siglo VI If Ken has time I would love his assessment on them. I am pretty sure he will be blown away. Pop on in Tuesday for an hour or two. Truly a wonderful experience today. I will remember this afternoon for a long ime to come.
Leftridge Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 There are going to be a lot of Siglo VI reviews.. I only have two Cohibas: 2006 LE Piramides and VI.. I'll smoke both this weekend and post reviews on Monday. I know I'm new to the site and all but didn't ya'll just have a public holiday last week???

Last week was ANZAC day (our memorial day). This week is May Day where we celebrate the worker. No I appreciate some of the great things unions have done over the past 100 years (and plenty of shitty things as well) but WTF???...shut down a 350 Billion dollar state economy for the day? Madness.
IShotAManInReno Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I have a box from 2004. The first few were quite bad. Then all of a sudden... BAM! They turned into some of the most glorious smokes! It seemed to happen somewhere around the 3.5yr mark when they improved significantly. I would imagine a box from 2003 would, indeed, be smoking very well right now.
shrink Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 WTF???...shut down a 350 Billion dollar state economy for the day? I'll bet they make up most of it in beer sales. :-D
aavkk Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Depending on whether the person counting partook in the festivities.
