Cohiba (Cuba) Siglo I

Lots of nuts on the palate with this little fellow. My wife got one for aChristmas present and gave it to me. Couldn't resist smoking it, probably should have aged it more, but it was still tasty. Nice burn and draw. Can't really speak to the price since it was a gift.

As someone who has to smoke outside this is the perfect "special occasion" smoke for when it's real cold out. Outstanding construction, draw and taste! This little smoke packs true Cuban flavor that isn't harsh. Especially when you don't have a lot of time. Because their size is not intimidating I've found the ladies really like them! A very nice 1st Cuban for newbies. Bring a few to the next party and they'll go over big!

For my first cuban I was extremely pleased. I only wish I had a larger size as this was a gift from a friend. Nice tight wrapper and truly a tasty cigar for the size I can't wait to get my hands on another cohiba

I loved this cigar, the aging added complexity. Top 10 all time smokes for me. It just ended too quickly

I couldn't believe this was my first Sig I. I have been digging the IIs, so I lit this one up (from '06), and was duly impressed. Tasted "older" than 2 years old, not as much of the grassy flavor you get with larger fresh Cohibas. Bean and coffee flavors, and suprisingly mild but flavorful. Perfect burn and a great draw with smoke that belied its small size. Definitely diggin' the smaller Cohibas lately.

What a great little tasty thing, I ve had them aging for quite some time and boy im glad i did because the flavors are awesome enough said.

Though small this little Siglo is wonderful! Its a very smooth smoke and exudes the classic Cohiba qualities. Its priced right for such a small cigar but I'll probably buy the Siglo II & III in the future just for the value of having a longer smoking experience.

I bought a box of 5 and i did the mistake of not opening it until i was way too far from the cigar shop. The SIG I were veiny and two of them with poor caps. The draw was only above average the ash solid the burn ok. Medium body but encountered nothing complex or outstanding for the price paid. The cedar flavours were there as well as pepper but for me Diplo's #5 for less than half the price or Partagas shorts for complexity and satisfaction not to mention R.Alones pc's or small club coronas. There are better Cohibas

Being of the mind that Cohibas are over rated, or maybe over priced is more accurate, because they are a good smoke, plus what humidor is complete with out them! At any rate, prefering PCs I picked up a box of these from Feb 2007, young but I had to give a couple a try before putting them in the humi to age. Beautiful presentation & construction, perfect slow even burn, creamy cedar & peppery with a tingly finish. Great with my morning coffee. I'm not disapointed at all & am looking forward to how these will age.

I had forgotten to have this little thing in my humidor...what best time to smoke it than while watching the France F1 Grand Prix (and see Ferrari doing a double?)?
Well, this is a true Cohiba, powerful but smooth, well constructed even if with some tiny combustion problems toward the end. It has that great feel good factor that only best things in life can give....and it almost burned my finger. Grand Prix was not finished yet, but Ferrari was still leading one-two....

This cigar had a different smell from all the other cigars I to a wiff of, the construction wasn't too hard but looks like it held very well. The wrapper looks really tough, not rugged but you can tell that it's a little thick and looks like it would take a few blows(or drops on the floor).
Snip the little bastid and tested the prelight draw, it was alot tighter than I'd like it to be so I poked it with my homemade cigar poker. I dry puffed on it a few more times to try and get some flavor out of it so I'd know what to expect. I mostly got that nicotine tingle feeling so I decided to light it up.

Easy even light, took my first puff, and I wasn't too impressed, I tasted a good amount of pepper and some hints of what I think was woody goodness. I took a few more puffs and BOOM this thing exploded with flavors, I kept trying to figure out what I was experiencing but I just couldn't put my finger on what my tounge was going through. I did taste a young but it was still very flavorful and enjoyable.
Flavor kept changing, coming and going throughout the whole cigar. The nicotine kicked my ass big time, it was like smoking an opus but the nicotine went straight to my head, I found myself sitting on the shower floor under a warm water splashing all over me.

intense and creamy start with a complex and excellent finish

Aged 3 years. Nice looking, small cigar that had a fantastic bouquet. Body was mild to medium. The soil.cream flavor, while nice, never really took off. The last 1/3 turned to a grass.leather.soil.pepper flavor that was much more interesting than the rest of the cigar. Burn was fine, draw was tight in places. I'm a little underwhelmed at this price point.

What can I say, it's a good smoke, minus some constructin/burn problems but... when you've had the slightly bigger brother siglo 2 this one just doesn't compare. As I said this is by no means bad but I will not go out and buy a box of these any time soon.

What a great smoke! Full of heaps of flavour for such a little cigar. Definately worth a try though a bit pricey to have every day.

A big taste in a small package! This petit corona is wrapped with a silky brown wrapper with minimal veins. Great prelight aroma. Excellent construction without soft spots. Easy light. Perfect draw. Even burn without the need for corrections or relights. Gray black ash. Tons of blue-white smoke. Started with grass and white pepper, and then melded its way into notes of vanilla, milky coffee, grass, and herbs in the first third. In the middle third, flavors of cocoa, worn leather, and wood were built on the grassy foundation. In the last third, a toasted tobacco taste was prominent. All in all, this 30 minute medium-full bodied smoke fwith a box code NRG 5/05 was a tasty firecracker. Much less pepper and spice than the Party Short, but distinctly more complex. Its youth was apparent by the tannic undertones which ran the course of the stick, but it was still enjoyable nonetheless. Would buy more for sure!

Boom baby, my first has sent shock waves of flavor and spicy goodness up all over my face. A great little smoke.

Flavor bigger and more rounded than I expected. Soft, full taste. Smoked to the nub.

This cigar has more taste and body than I would ever believe before I tried it. One of the best PC I have ever smoked.

Strong, busting out with flavor, this was a majestic cigar.

Despite it's puny size, this cigar is chock full of great flavors. The light was medium in body, toasty and nutty with occasional coffee tones and building to the middle. There was a spot of harshness right at the halfway point, but that went away quickly and was replaced with a solid charry note. I usually prefer the Robusto sizes, but this one is a surprisingly good cigar for the small ring.

First small RG Cohiba. Nice construction. Draw was perfect. Smoked this one at the CI cigarfest. More flavorful than the larger RG cohibas I have had. Burned about 45 minutes. Might like to try the next one at 62%.

I realy love this cigar. It's draw is good, rich flavour,... The fume in your mounth is like an angel being there. GRTZ

This cigar is unbelieveably strong for such a small package. Rich, spicey, flavor that packs a wallop. One of my favorites for a short walk. Should always have some of these in your humidor. Can't go wrong.

This small cigar is expensive, but worth it. I agree with the other raters about the taste - it was rich and spicy from start to finish. It did require relighting toward the end, a task made difficult by my perseverence to smoke it down to about a quarter of an inch. Great little cigar!

My go to cigar is Partagas Shorts, and I like smaller cigars due to time constraints on my smoking. The Siglo I is a pretty cigar with the nice wrapper, cap, and classic band. My Party shorts make this cigar look small, thats how small this Perla is. Punched it and it lit up nicely. Quite dark ash, typical habano gray. Taste started off great, smooth habano taste, creamy, woody, quite nice - started and remained stronger than Party shorts. Burn required some attention, but nothing serious. Draw was perfect. Half way down I noticed some bitterness that detracted. This one was less than a year old, my shorts smoke much better at this age (Partagas shorts - you silly boy). They are also quite a bit cheaper. Still, the Siglo 1 is a classy likeable cigar that I wouldn't mind having more of.

When I slid the cover of the cabinet open a full frontal assault of cedar hit me head on, and the lovely scent clung to the stick. Beautiful caramel colored wrapper with no blemishes and almost invisible veins. One small fold marred an otherwise perfect cigar. The triple cap was deep, even, and artfully applied. It had a great springy feel and the pre light taste and aroma are to die for. The trademark Cohiba band slid off smoothly with no resistance.

Clipped deeply and cleanly, and sparked easily with an amazing amount of smoke. Damn! Hard to believe so much smoke could have fit in such a small package! Gallons of mellow, mouth filling smoke billowed forth. Spicy yet refined, the cedar flavor is forward and lovely. A dark gray ash followed the inky black burn ring and clung tightly for two solid inches. The finish was smooth and satisfying with a noticeable mellow cedar tone.

Enjoyed on the porch with a nice strong double shot of espresso in the light rain, this cigar was very forward in its presentation. Complex notes of heather, coffee, leather, and of course cedar frolicked in the medium bodied taste. Light blue smoke curled from the lit end and the huge clouds of smoke that issued from each puff had a nice beige tint to them. A stately five point (western count) buck stood and watched as I savored the experience of this smallest of the Siglo line. He seemed to enjoy the experience as much as I did.

Overall this was an amazingly powerful cigar for being so well aged and such a small vitola. The balanced flavor was never too strong, but packed an incredible punch. If this cigar was any bigger I fear I would have gotten the dreaded Cuban flu from it. As it was I had a lovely 30 minutes of heavenly smoking pleasure and a nice lingering finish that smacked of well aged cedar smoothness. Highly recommended!

Great smoke. Medium-full bodied smoke that held the strong/earthy flavor until the end. Also tasted a small hint of choclate -- then turned spicy at the end.

this was my first cohiba, and i was very impressed. excellent full flavor that stayed consistant throughout the cigar. never had trouble with draw, but did have a stubborn uneven burn. bit pricy though, perhaps paying for the name a bit?

Box code SLA DIC01. Gorgeous dark brown wrapper typical of Cohiba. Good even burn but draw is tight. Flavor is full bodied but the strong taste is still young. Apparently 2 years+ is not enough.

while the first one was a bit strong and harsh at first, by the time i finished the 5 pack, and the last one had been in the humidor for about a year, it was the best. an excellent smoke. maybe this is what they mean when you hear " you get what you pay for"

this little cigar has just what I was looking for in a small cohiba, the flavor of a pure habano plus the kick of that the cohiba line is famous for, try one you'll be glad you did

The modest little demitasse cigar was a nice smoke to quickly wind down my day. The cardboard colored wrapper showed a decent amount of tooth and the triple cap was perfect. I really enjoyed the smoke. It's only flaw was the firm draw which near the end made it unsmokable. The flavor was fairly spicy, although it did relent as I smoked it down. There were hints of orange peel.

Bought 3 boxes for the price of two on a special back in 2000. Aged really well. Smokes incredibly well. All cigars have been consistent with a smooth med-full bodied cohiba flavor, lots of complexity, and a great even burn w/ a nice ash. A great cigar if you're looking for the Cohiba flavor in a short smoke.

The first thing Inoticed about this beautiful cigar was how much they packed in there. I couldn't believe it still had a reasonable draw. Outstanding Cuban flavor. Smooth all the way. Very flavorful for such a little guy.

This cigar isn't cheap, but it is damn good. If you want the best, pay for it. Power, spice. Good stuff.

What a fabulous cigar. Who says you can't get great taste in a corona. And this is one you don't have to spend all day with. Construction, burn, and draw are always perfect. I have never had a bad Siglo I yet and I have smoked many boxes.

One of the strongest and most flavorful small petit coronas I have had, better than the Short and a lot more consistant. Too bad the price is outrageous.

In terms of ugliness of workmanship and wrapper, it's just hard to top this one. I initially thought it a fake...taste confirmed it a Cuban. Weak flavor and aroma nevertheless pleasant. Burns OK. A solid 5 rating.

Pure magic! Excellent draw and medium-full, spicey flavour for such a small stick. Pity it's soooo expensive.

This is the best small cigar on the planet.

Dark brown wrapper with a light oily sheen. Very solid feeling with that pre-light Cuban tobacco aroma. Tight draw, but smokable. Even burn and a nice white ash. A medium bodied smoke as far as taste, but strong on the buzz factor, about a 7. One of m

This Cigar was good and bad. The taste was good, a bit spicy but mild, and it held to the end. It surpriced me that such a small cigar should not get hot and loose it´s taste to the end. I could almost smoke it up without any drastic change in the taste.

Still my favorite quick smoke

loved the dark chocolate and spicy flavor. Lots of flavor for such a small stick. Great draw with excellant aroma and a super finish. Good to smoke on cold winter days!

The best small smoke in the world. Full of chocolatey flavours

One of the best cigars in the world. Small but powerful and full bodied.

One of the best "little smokes" in the world.
