WYPirate Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I've got a yearly event coming up Friday, and am pondering which cigar to light up to celebrate. I dearly value everyone's opinion here so I'd like to post my choices, and with the suggestion that gets the most votes, I'll give it a review and post it here. Thanks mates.
Guest rob Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I voted the Cohiba.. not because it costs the most... but just because I like it best (when it's on song).
sounddust Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 The 46 as it's my fave of the bunch and a tubo would be pretty unique.
bunburyist Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 46 - you need something with enough burn time to make it an occasion
sharks Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Cohiba Siglo VI is the go. The last few I have had lately have been great
neal875 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 'Aug 6 2009, 09:50 AM' post='126392'] Cohiba Siglo VI is the go. The last few I have had lately have been great Any box dates on those really great Siglo VI?

The last few I have had lately have been great Any box dates on those really great Siglo VI? i'm for the cohiba. if it is really on, will take you to a level that the others can't match.
anacostiakat Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I voted for the SIG VI. But honestly you can not go wrong with it or the Mag 46.
laficion Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 No question about it, from your list of choices, I would pick the Cohiba, Siglo VI It's big enough to cover the event with enough flavors and aromas to keep everyone on their toes. Have a great time.

The last few I have had lately have been great Any box dates on those really great Siglo VI? I purchased them in Jan so I'm not sure if they would still have them. MEL ABR 08 these were not Tubo though SLB
thechenman Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I would go with the Cohiba Siglo VI as well. It is a good sized cigar, and a special occassion cigar. I don't think you can go wrong choosing this stick for your celebration. Look forward to reading your review on whichever cigar you ultimately go with.
WYPirate Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 Looking good so far, all. I wish I had date on these choices, but they all came from the 12 days sampler pack. Dates not included. :/
Froggy Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Choose the 46. You can't go wrong. Never ever failed me... yet.
aavkk Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I also went with the Siglo VI tubo and hopefully it has some age on it.
mbrody Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 The current 46 has not let me down. I can't say the same for the Cohiba. 46 it is.
Buch0 Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 As most have said, I would defiantly blaze the Siglo. Very, very rarely do they disappoint and it will burn a good time for such an occasion. Very hard to top with even the best selection available in my opinion. Enjoy!
WYPirate Posted August 7, 2009 Author Posted August 7, 2009 Well, thanks all who chimed in and cast their vote! I'm turning 38 tomorrow, so drinks are on me. Looks like preliminary votes are pointing toward the Siglo VI, and unless Al Franken has anything to say about it on tomorrow's official deadline, I'll be reviewing that cigar. Thanks for your suggestions, and comments. Maybe I'll feel brave and do a vid review, we'll see. I stuck the Siglo VI under my nose a little while ago, and my mouth started watering. More on that later..... HA! Centennial Post!
ucla695 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I voted for the Cohiba VI. I have loved all of the ones I've smoked. Is that what you smoked to celebrate the big day?
smk819 Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 The Siglo VI was my choice, and apparently thay of most others. I see a clear concensus.
Habanos2000 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 The VI is clearly a celebratory cigar to me. I had one from 2003 on my 46th last week. Damn fine smoke.
Tampa1257 Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Well the decision was already made, but the Best cigar out of the group presented since the choices came from the 12 days of Christmas Sampler was in my humble opinion the Partagas Serie P No.2. The Cohiba Siglo VI from the sampler needs more time and was shallow in flavor and basically underwhelming, a poor representation of what a Cohiba can bring to the table. Tampa
WYPirate Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 Heh heh, too late Tampa, but your summation was pretty on par. While I have yet to post my review (I haven't really stopped drinking), I will say the Siglo VI was not the show stopper I expected it to be. It was a great cigar, but the Siglo II's I've got blew it away on many fronts, young as they are.
mbrody Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 WYPirate, Hope you had a Happy Birthday! I had the same experience with the Siglo VI. Shallow flavors, uninspiring, one was plugged. Probably too young or the whole 3 pack of Tubos were duds. Who knows. You can make up for it, as I did, by smoking a Mag 46!!!
