Cohiba Siglo II

XLB AGO 05

Prelight aroma: Sweet cedar.

Prelight taste: Sweet fudge.

Draw: Near perfect on the looser side.

1:3

Opens up with strong, intense and deep tobacco taste covered in dark chocolate. The smoke is thick as hell with an almost bonewhite color. The statement from this Siglo is absolutely full bodied. Its like drinking trappist-beer while dining on thick and dark chocolate.

Cheesus!! This is an perfect finish on all the heavy and fat christmas food I´ve eaten this weekend.

2:3

The heavy-metal-siglo just keeps on rocking!

Burn is straight and the smoke thick. The taste is full bodied with lashings of dark chocolate, tobacco, cedarwood and some hints of dry grass. I´m loving it!!

3:3

Licorice mixed with thick bread?! A surprise indeed! My palate is almost chocked with this bizarre yet pleasant twist.

Then suddenly its gone and its back to the dark chocolate and beery tobacco. This is truly a divine PC that was finally smoked down to the nub.

The conclusion...

Only a few days left of 2008 and I am safe to say that this was the best cigar I´ve smoked this year. It was almost as if life itself wanted to say: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

I had one for Xmas too! A '07 tubo. Delicious! Much better than my last smoke, a RYJ Churchill. Full of sweet hay, citrus and finishing with coffee and chocolate. SOOOOO good!

Cheers,

George

The Siglo II is my absolute favorite 30 minute morning coffee smoke. Great review. Looking forward to having one this morning.
