Cohiba (Cuba) Siglo VI

I am not privileged enough to enjoy a good Habano very often. Finally, I have seen the light. This cigar is blessed with sweet spice flavor and an incredible, almost marijuana-like aroma. Construction is near perfect. A nice white ash accentuates a perfect package. The price though...ouch. Overpriced but WORTH it.

Don't get me wrong, I like the smoke. It's just lacking some character for me. Reminds me in look and taste of Davidoff. Great size - you really are THE MAN when you are smoking this. Pulls a little too easily for me. I just find that the Lmited Edition Cohiba makes, of which I have smoked many, are a cut above. Nevertheless a fine smoke.

Loved this cigar...smoked it faster than others simply because I could not resist the taste.

One of my faves. Sets and maintains the standard for the Cuban Cohibas. Only 9 left in the box and on the list for a new one!

Just finished one of these beautiful sticks. Predominantly spicy cinammon flavor with the best ash I've ever seen. This cigar seems to have been blended with the ash in mind, it's the whitest I've ever seen, will grow to great lengths, and leaves me gazing at it in wonder and admiration.

This cigar was quite spicy with dominant cinammon notes. A little one dimensional in flavor, it wasn't one that made me hang on until it was buring my fingers.

I've had some 10 Siglo Vi's, but this wasn't one of them - thus I have to say they are a little inconsistent.

A beautiful, best ever draw, this particular stick had an uneven burn.

Beautiful wrapper with a glossy sheen.

Boxed in a beautiful bundle, I got these in Jamaica. Maybe it's psychological, but these babies smoke better in the sub-tropics.

A very fine cigar with the greatest ash I've ever seen.

The best smoke to smoke! Full of flavour nutty vanilla an sooo mild. She is just the best cigar to smoke when you find yourself 2 1/5 hr and a nice single malt Scotsh whisky. Splendid just perfect!

This cigar used to be a favorite of mine. It seems the quality has been lacking over the last few years.

My favorite CC. This guy says "we" are too pretentious. I do not smoke CCs for style, I do it because of the unique flavor of the tobacco. Sorry, but you can't get THAT in a non-CC at half the price. Best complexity of all CCs.

Previous Reviewer is absolutely right. Cohibas seem to be so overhyped, they are overlooked as excellent cigars. Subtracting all the hype, these cigars are phenomenal. My box is from AUG 06 and are at this stage maybe the best box I've ever owned. What most impresses about this cigar is its flavor progression and complexity. Typical Cohiba flavors of vanilla, honey, cream and grass are here, but on another level. Only one out of the box has has a tight draw, marking great consistency for this vitola. About $150 more than most boxes, but absolutely worth every penny.

Perhaps not the oldest Cuban label, but by almost any account the most well known of the later 20th century. Actually the only "hyped" cuban in that if you were to be seen smoking a stick with the yellow label you had arrived at a certain plateau in life. For a real cigar lover none of this matters a whit, however. What matters is taste and burn quality. Does the Siglo VI deliver is the question? The ones I've smoked undoubtedly do as I can't find a fault from the glorious, almost burnished, sheen on the golden brown wrapper to the fairly long burn with no need for a correction. Though a contridiction in terms: The VI is the silkiest (i.e. smooth) full bodied cigar I think I've ever had the pleasure to smoke. The taste is multi-faceted, very interesting, the ash is gorgeous, and the smoke is plentiful.

I'm going to now have to purchase a full box. I have at least a year of personal humidor aging on these and there is only one left so in effect, even though I only smoke these on special days I will end up smoking my next box mostly without the benefit of that extra aging. I'll be interested to see if they are just as good.

Simply put, a real statement cigar...And I'm talking quality wise because the hype isn't what we as cigar smokers give a "rats" about!

good cigar, i like it expecially because for the evolution of flavour

It has taken me 15 years smoking only Cuban cigars to realise that most are over prized and over rated...Everyone seems to scared to admit it but there are some very very good non cubans out there for half the price. We cigar smokers can be a tad pretentious sometimes.

Excellent cigar that maintained taste to the end. Medium to strong. The usual Cuban spicy flavor.

i got it very cheap :d

I picked up a box of these to smoke annually on my first son's birthday. Found the box during a holiday sale and paid on par with Cuba retail price. My son turned 1 last week so I got to smoke the first of these. WOW!! Now I know what all the hype is about. I have a few other boxes of Cohiba's but the Sig VI's full bodied flavour is definately the best of the bunch. Sure they are expensive but they are worthy of the price for those special occasions. Not sure if I can limit myself to only one a year though. May need to grab another box. Highly recommended for when you want to spoil yourself. Can't wait till these have 5+ years on them.

I picked up 5 of these in London November 06 and finished the last one after the Superbowl with a very nice cognac. All were perfection in construction and consistency with that beautiful dark gold wrapper they are famous for. Tremendous depth and balance to this wonderful cigar with a creaminess that almost makes you forget the power of this cigar as your palate is bathed in leather, coffee bean and spice. Worthy of its world class status but beyond me for a full box. Stellar but too rich for my wallet as there are too many viable choices that don't make your eyes pop out of your head at the register.

The Cohiba Siglo VI is a beauty to look at for its flawless construction. I have smoked an entire box and have a second box aging in my humidor. The draw has always been ultra smooth. The creamy Cohiba flavors build-up nicely and in all instances I have been able to smoke these to the cap.

I have smoked Litto Gomez Chisel's and Small Batch, Padron 26's, Opus, Tatuaje Browns and Reds, Joya de Nicaragua, Sun Grown's, etc. etc. ... THIS cigar can hang in the power department. Cohiba Siglo VI (tubo) is the name and strong, intense, and unique flavor is it's game. A different Cuban. Sorry to all who got it wrong, you smoked fakes.

This was a great tasting smoke that had some burn problems and other questions about it. Price was steep, and then there is the question of the dark gray ash. I was expecting the same light ash as the Montecristo I had the night before, and it wasn't there.

Bought this from a reputable overseas dealer who advertises on this site. Perhaps the smoothest cigar I ever had (Is there such a thing as too smooth)? Flavor was great down to the numb (did I hear roach clip?). The wrapper on the two we smoked became unravelled, but to me flavor should be worth 3 times as many points as Appearance and Construction. Great cigar... little expensive. I'm going to try the Robusto SLRs next.

This is simply the best modern day Cuban cigar. Top to bottom this cigar delivers at every level. Each draw fills your mouth with cool copious amounts of smoke! I'm very happy to have a box of these to save.

While out of the country I had a chance to grab a few of these. WOW!! Reallly nice and smooth. A pleasure from start to finish. Good flavor , good draw, good burn. I wished I had a chance for more!!

Heavenly smoke, all you can ask from a cigar. It is pricey, but well worth it once in a while.

Buy with caution. Buy this cigar at a reputable shop in either London or Portugal, and you are less likely to get a fake. If you get the real thing, this is a knockout. My first stick was lit up at 10:45 PM in London several yares ago. I think I was still counting dots on the ceiling at 3AM. Talk about a kick. From first light (fine, fine, fine quality) through it's middle (holy cow), and the nub (please let me get one more puff...) this is a killer.

Being the first true cuban cigar of my life, I enjoyed the strong flavor, great draw, and especially the buzz I had afterward. The cigar lives up to its reputation

My 2 cents is that if you didn't enjoy this cigar, perhaps you bought a fake. Simply put, a Cohiba Siglo VI is a little bit of heaven.

I really don’t get is with the hype of this cigar. I have to admit the construction, and appearance were excellent and the smoke was long, smooth and cool, but I buy top price Cubans for flavour and smoking experience which this seemed to lack. It had hints of the typical Cohiba, fresh, nutty, cedar but only at the finish an only in hints. I think the most impressive thing about this cigar is the price their able to charge. In future, for the flavours I’ll take the siglo 2 and for the money I could have any smoke I want.

...not $400 a box good. Actually, it didn't taste any better than a good quality NC, in my opinion.

When in Cancun 5 months ago, I picked up this stick, since I'd heard favorable things about it. I had it in the humidor for 3 months and decided to give it a go. I'll be perfectly honest...it's not bad. I think the pre-light aroma is as nice as any cigar I've experienced. My primary reservation is it's price as compared to other cubans I find as enjoyable, or more so. I also found I'm not as fond of the grassiness profile which distinctly emerged about mid-way through. All and all it's quality. I recall paying around $18.00 for it, which appears to be less than the $21.00 average price posted above. Despite that fact, I also purchased Monty #2's at La Casa del Habano in Plaza Flamingo and enoyed them more at $13 each. To each his own, so try them both and you decide?

One of my top 5 cigars. Beautiful draw, beautiful burn, and amazing smooth rich flavor. Authentic Cohiba taste that I love. I have never had a bad smoke with this stogie.

Best smoke I've had since the cigar craze undermined Cuban quality. Reminds me of a Hoyo de Monterey Double Corona in its heyday. Not just a steady draw of rich Cuban tobacco, but it opens up into a variety of peppers and spices. Good fromthe first puff to the last. A fully satisfying smoke.

Oh blessed stick of tobacco! Even on a day of sun, we welcome your billowing blue clouds of ample fragrant smoke. Constructed like the finest castles, strong yet welcoming. A pricey monarch, yea, but well worth it. Your lesser brothers (I'm thinking of the Siglo III in particular) are shamed by your magnificence.

Good smoke. Full body (unless you have bulletproof tastebuds) with nice flavor development.

I tend to agree with the last couple of reviews, a top shelf smoke but a bit over priced. Great looking, great draw and a very distictive Cohiba flavor, creamy with a hint of leather and cedar. Similiar in taste to the Esplandido but more full bodied. To me Cohibas are over priced due to the name, in bigger sticks I much prefer the Lusitania and the Hoya De Monterey Double Corona. Don't get me wrong, very good just over priced, with the money and if I had to choose, I'd go in a different direction.

Thought that I could get a cheaper Cohiba south of the "tortilla curtain". When he brought out the box I thought what a great deal! But then he breaks the "Republica De Cuba" seal, opens it and hands me just 1! I waited about 6 weeks eagerly anticipating pure bliss. However I was left with simply a top shelf smoke. The construction was great, the draw was flawless, the flavor right on, and it stayed lit. But for $25? I could get 3 great non-Cubans for that.

Fairly pricey smoke this one. But man, is it good. I'd be willing to bet the reviewers that tried this in Mexico for $20 got fakes (a.k.a., screwed). I enjoyed this a little more than the Bolivar B.F., probably because the ring size delivers more flavor and it was covered in plume - beautiful. Both great smokes. Thank you Norman, you've got a great shop every cigar enthusiast can enjoy. The value is a little questionable with its price tag, but I will probably buy again.

This was better than the other Cohiba I tried today, but only just. The construction was ok with a little tunneling at the end. The flavor was pretty light for my taste. The power just was not there for the price.

James was right on about the grassiness or is it earthy or salty? Oh wait loamy. Anywhoo a very good smoke that I thought was just a bit stronger than medium, maybe slightly to the fuller side of medium. Not as strong as I was expecting however. Maybe a tad expensive for what yens get. Neve the less a fine offering and I agree that aging possibilities are exceptional. I guess I'm with that croatan guy.

I smoked one of these last night and enjoyed every second of it. I'd say it was medium-bodied, with a bit of the Cohiba grassy flavor, but not overly complex. I think they'll get a lot better after a few more years.

Only had enough money to get three while in Europe. Very strong and deep, but some aging would help bring out the complexities a bit more. Another great Cuban, but just too pricey. Would get a box if the price got cut in half.

I can see why this is highly rated. Of all the Cubans I have tried I can say this one was worth the hassle of driving to nogales mexico and dealing with the GF's parents. It was med- med full with loads of complexities without the nasty of an over eager full. I would recomend getting one if the opprotunity arises. It is a cuban that is good and isnt just hype.

A good smoke no doubt, but they are too young and are loaded with ammonia upon smoking. That's where that "bite" comes from. They are potent smokes no doubt but not worth $20. I've had $8 smokes better than this. Aging would help these out alot.

I just yesterday received a box of 25 of these from Oz, and had to smoke one right away. I found it to be very silky and on the mild side. I perceived a slight tang and very good taste; smooth and easy to smoke. Not up to Fuente Don Carlos #3 or Hemingways, though.

Good, but not the very best. Strong bodied with good flavor. Somewhat harsh at the end.

I work at a hotel in Carmel and one of the guests got to talking to me about cigars and offerred me one of these. I couldn't refuse. This was back in November. I just smoked it a couple of days ago and I was truly impressed. The construction is flawless, and the wrapper is smooth as silk. The taste was awesome, complex. The profile did change throughout the smoke ranging from super creamy and cedary to light spice, cinnamon, and leather. I was expecting more power, but it was surprisingly mellow and medium bodied. I was smoking with 2 friends of mine. One rarely smokes, while the other is an occasional smoker. The former loved it and the latter compared it to one of the best he'd had, Davidoff Millenium. I'd love to get my hands on more of these. It's expensive, but well worth it at least once or twice a year. Hopefully I can find a reliable source.

Had one of these sticks today on the porch.. This is what you are looking for in Cuban "refinement"... Taste is extremely complex - changes every 1/4 as you go. Burn was amazing for a cigar of this size - very even and smooth. Smoke content was not overpowering, but neither was the power. I was expecting a bit more, but that is my only issue with this fantastic cigar. Highly recommended!

Great wrapper, solid build, even burn. Taste of cocoa, coffee and a hint of grass. Powerful and fine, but a little steep in price for the smoke. It's solid, but I've had better.

I must first say that I had this particular cigar about a year ago in Chile (dont know why until now i'm getting around to reviewing it (and forgetting the deatilss)). Anyway, this cigar is my favorite cigar, period. Beautiful, top-notch quality, burns briliantly, complex as all hell, and worth the price as mentioned. Big and strong as hell, and yet smooth at the same time.

My favorite cigar thus far....by a long shot. A bit pricey, but worth the money.

This is by far the best Cohiba in production currently. It is much more refined and balanced than anything else in the entire Cohiba line, yet is has a very nice crescendo of tastes that takes you on a journey. I have smoked almost all top notch Cubans for several years and the Siglo VI has a very special place in my mind. Perfect construction and draw, obviously, heavy smoke yet the most special aspect of the SVI is a very special and uncommon curry note in the last part of the draw. Price should not be a factor when smoking the best of the best.

This was not a bad cigar, but I don't understand the talk about the Cohiba brand. Maybe I just haven't tried the right smokes. The construction on the stick was excellent, I also liked the little tube that it came in. The burn was very even, and the draw was firm, but smooth. I could tell that this was a quality stick, but that's all. The problem was the taste, it was not what I would expect from a smoke that has the reputation that this one does.

my favorite. Started out spicy, then changed to Cohiba grassy/complex in the second third, then to tobacco in the final third. Great cigar.

I sometimes wonder when reading a review of a Cuban cigar if the reviewer had a geniune or a fake. I suspect the good reviews were the former and the so so reviews were the latter. If you are wondering, I'm 99.9% sure mine is genuine. Why? Triple cap, dark gray ash, great flavor and construction, purchased from a real cigar store rather than a tourist storefront, ultraviolet tax stamp, geniune band, etc. This is a great cigar. The burn was very even, the flavor was complex and very tasty and I just didn't want to let it go. I have had better Cubans for the money, but once in a while, it is nice to just try one of the best and most revered cigars available. I will definately try again, but will put most of my hard earned money on ISOM Partagas Series No. 4's. or Nic. Padron Exclusivos.

Had this one in my humidor for 21/2 years and was definently a successful aging process for me. Complex flavors expected of a cuban and moreso a Cohiba. Pricy but if you smoke fine cigars you should never look at the price and worry, just enjoy.

I just finished my third VI and each one has been a disappointment. It's a good cigar, but, to me, nothing special--and no where near worth the price. There are tons of better cubans out there for WAY less money. This one is all hype in my book.

The complexity is really amazing. Very spicy with overtones of sweetness and cinnamon. Great smoke!

Good cigar although I woudn't rate it among the best Cubans I've tried. The problem is that with all the choices available today it's practically impossible for most smokers to justify paying upwards of $20-$25 for a cigar.

Beautiful looking cigar, well constructed to burn evenly and draw lots of delicious smoke. Started out with a leather flavor, and became more creamy and coffee flavored as the cigar progressed. Very good smoke, although for the money there are some superior Habanos out there.

For my friend's birthday I gave him a Siglo VI, so we stopped by a cafe and lit these boys up. I really like the size of this cigar; it allowed for a full lush draw and fit well in the mouth. The burn had an uneven start but was self-correcting further down the smoke. The flavor started out with sweet wood then developed into leather, and coffee. Great way to end a night.

Hey for $ 16 you expect something good. These are. The tubos version has to be the most exquisite packaging of any commonly available cigar. Beautifully made. Elegant to the touch. Lit and burned great. Smooth and creamy. Let em age they will be special. Me. I just smoke-em like this. Nice but expensive.

granted, i'm not a cohiba flavor profile kinda guy (please keep it in mind when reviewing my rankings), but this was one of the best i've had. excellent draw, tons of smoke, breat burn. just beautiful. but they're not for me. if you love cohibas, you'll love this. i actually found it to be better than their "seleccion reservas".

Not usually a big Cohiba fan(just my personal taste), but this one is outstanding. Smooth, creamy perfect medium body. Could not put it down. Perfect special occasion smoke.

From a box of 10 from the initial release. Beautiful appearance, good burn, and that familiar Siglo taste, magnified. Love the size -- with some time, a classic.

had my 1st. box bought from visitor to cuba, did my homework - box perfect, seals perfect, inside box perfect, cigars and presentation immaculate. smooth draw for such large cigar, smooth flavor, though not as creamy or as strong as expected (liked siglo I better). uneven burn after 1st ash (dirty grey) drop. so question begged to be asked - who pays $40 for one of these?? - maybe just to say you smoked one...

I have not been a Cohiba fan for quite awhile, have always thought they were overpriced and rated. Now this comes along, and with all of their EL's the Siglo VI is so outstanding, I've become a huge convert in six short months. The size is perfect, the construction, the draw and the burn are as well. Incredable taste for a relatively young cigar, it smacks of coffee and cream, the unbelievably complex tobacco flavors. Now with the stash of Sublimes and EL Dc's, I've got these to add to the best stash I've ever had in my life. Now...paying for them...lol

This cigar is the king of a very good cigar family. Simply outstanding. I bought a box, and I'll share my Esplendidos, but nobody is getting one of these.The price was fair also. Check out finecigarsww.com for the best price.

What can I say that has already not been mentioned...a perfect draw, smooth to the last medium bodied-creamy puff. This is a cigar not meant for those on a budget, let alone a cigar for the affluent on a daily basis. Enjoy this piece of perfection with good company and an excellent single malt Highland Scotch.

Looks great, smells fantastic, used a Palio to slice the cap. Burn and draw were perfect, but the ash doesn't hang around. Taste was smooth but with power and apparent aging potential. Medium-full body, creamy, smooth, with touches of 7 year old Madagascar vanilla (hehe, kidding on that one). A truly wonderful smoke.

Great construcution, great blend smoked well with an even burn. This is a very good smoke and I rate it highly for a standard Cuban Cohiba ( can I say that) I have been more impressed with the LE wrapper and think the ageing and blend selection give a more dynamic smoking experience.

I only recently started smoking these cigars and have only recently started on my second box. Overall it is among the best cigars I have ever smoke. It is consistantly well made. It is a thick cigar. It burns evenly with a rich aroma with cofee, leather and earth flavors. It also starts mild and creamy and has a spicy finish. It is, however, very expensive and is the most expensive box of cigars I have ever purchased. Nevertheless, it is worth the price. I like nearly all of the Cohibas and feel these cigars are their best (as is the Robusto).

I bought a box while I was in Switzerland. It was expensive, but well worth it.
I give this cigar a 10 all around. I’ll buy more when I have another chance.

This could be one of the best cigars ever in about 18 months.

GREAT!!!! Best Cohiba I have tasted...

No! This smoke was HEAVEN in a stick! I can't say anything bad about this one besides that it didn't last all evening long! Smooth draw, even burn, great Cohiba punch (ie. spice/wood/cream). This Siglo is one of the best cigars out, no question!

A really impressive cigar, but I don't know that I'd pay $30 a smoke for them. From the onset it tasted very "youthful" and was still exciting. Construction and burn were top-of-the-line and the wrapper yields a very sensual aroma before you even light up. Creamy, smooth and robustly rich all at the same time, this cigar was an inspiring balance of Cohiba strength and the subtlties we've come to expect from Cuba's very best. Not as good as the Padron Anny's or Partagas Series D(which both happen to be about $20 less a stick), this is still an awesome cigar that you should at least buy a few of and try.

Mind you, I'm a relatively new cigar smoker (2 yrs.) and even newer to cubans. But I know good habanos and this cigar was one. Good burn and perfect draw to the end. It possessed all the things the other reviewers described: smooth & creamy, great flavor of char, nuts, and others I was too busy enjoying to identify. Smoked it down to about 1-1/2" before we parted. Definitely the best cigar I've ever smoked. A bit expensive, but life's too short. I'm saving up for a box.

Even if the Siglo series tends to become a bit disappointing, this new Siglo VI is the best Cohiba. Probably, one of my favourite cigars at the moment with the Montecristo 2.

One of the best Cohiba I have ever had: Appearance and Construction are perfect. The flavour is also superb.

After painful efforts to ensure I smoked the real thing - I was left disappointed. The cigar was green - it lacked the depth and rich flavors I associate with Esplendidos. The draw was a bit tight. A beautiful cigar - the tight draw took away from the construction, the flavor was green - thus I hesitate to 'kill' this cigar's rating - however, unlike a green Montecristo, this cigar lacked the hints of greatness that I would expect. The value was typical for a Cohiba - volenti non fit injuria - smoking experience was poor - I actually lit a Montecristo immediately after just to get the taste out of my mouth! With this said, this cigar is better than many others I've tried in the past - with great expectations comes the possibility of great disappointment.

smokey, char, creamy. outstanding!

imo the best cigar to come out of 2003, Construction was perfect, draw was perfect, the ash was white with a serpentine pattern. The flavor was fantastic, great spicyness, but the other flavors managed to not be hidden by this...at times creamy, at times slightly sweet, an overall fantastic cigar!

The Original One Two Punch of Cuban cigars are Montecristo No. 2 and Partagas Serie D No. 4. The New One Two Punch are Cohiba Siglo VIs and Cuaba Salamones. I was very fortunate to acqurie a full box of the first release, dated Oct 02. The flavor is awesome. I would have give it a 100 but your point system does not go that high. The Salamone and Canon Shot are my favorite and certainly looking forward to the release of new Montecristo Edmundo, which is also a straight piramide, that should be out later this year.

I thought that the strength profile on this smoke was a bit below the Cohiba curve. the wrapper was excellent and the cap was well made. There was a slight plug down the middle of the cigar, but it wasn't unsmokeable. Overall I liked the flavor profile. I thought it was creamy charry flavor with fruity hints that came through the martini I was drinking. The fruity flavor really came through when I switched over to champagne.

good firm flavor with easy draw. smooth till the end. creamy medium to full bodied.
Excellent.

i smoked 2 of these two weeks ago at Taipei LCDH, they were good but definitely not worth the price. a punch punch immediately followed one of VI still give out more flavor and body. thicker gauge did not add anything to the cohiba line.

I couldn't wait to have one even though I knew to let them relax and breathe in the Daniel Marshall, when they first arrived. Ilove a cigar that grows in strength and complexity as it burns. What a treat as it came alive at about a third the way down. The finish was so good I have rarely smoked one so short. The size is a new one and I love a 52 band cigar. This one will be a treat to enjoy over the long time I hope to be able to keep them. TRY THIS CIGAR!!

I am not usually a Cohiba smoker, Montecristo No 2 and Partegas Lusitania being the sticks of choice. I am now a convert. simply amazing, perfect in every department !

wow, i need a respirator after that. MKO JUL03, started off like any other cohiba, then 1/3in BAM layed me out. Maybe this is too new, but i am spinning. billows of smoke, tasty with a lil grassyness and slight coffee. sheesh, can't wait to see how these mature.

It's a very good cigar no doubt. But it is not the WOW! that a lot of the reviewers are listing. If you like Cohibas (i'm not its biggest fan, in recent years I've had ONE box that was excellent, most have only been slightly better than average) then you will like the VI. It is definetely something to try, but not something to knock down old ladies and baby carriages to get to.

This was the smoothest and creamiest Cohiba I have ever had. It had a somewhat rough construction, and had problems staying lit towards the end. Granted a bit young, but could not resist trying. Hopefully the construction will settle down with age. A very good cigar.

I got a box and had to try them just 4 months out of the factory. It is already magnificent. True the stick really needs to sit, but there is no doubt that this is the best.

Full bodied, full of flavor, strong, rich, complex and I have no words to express the excellence of this cigar. Every puff offers different taste. It would get even better by aging. Among the Cohiba lines this is by far the best on top of Robustos.

a truly exceptionnal cigar; perfect draw , construction , burn. the evolution of this cigar is remarkable from a rather mild beginning to an opulent end. definitely on my top three list.

This is the CIGAR. A perfect cigar in every way. Well worth the money. This is the best cigar I have ever smoked. Taste, draw, and burn are perfect. The trouble with smoking these is that you will be real disappointed when you go back to your other cigars. Cohiba has really outdone themselves on this one. Quality was apparently A#1 on their list when they created this cigar.

Wow! Just got my box in today from Habanodirect. What a cigar! Draw and burn are perfect, flavor is unbelievable. Still pretty green (box date Feb 03) but flavor is so rich and pleasant. Might replace my current favorite (Partagas SD3) with some time in the humidor. Surpasses Cohiba's usual high standards of quality. Just beautiful all around. This is one of the rare cigars that exceeds the hype surrounding it.

I bought three on the day my local merchant received delivery from Hunter's and Frankau, had the pick of the box... went fot the shiniest, oiliest ones I could see and have just finished the first one - I am flying. This is a lovely, tactile cigar and the smoke is so rich, the aroma is beautiful. The three year-aged leaves mean you can get straight into these emperors, if you get the opportunity do not pass it up. I have come home.

Just came back to my room at Hotel Nacional (21 & O streets, Vedado) after puffing on SigloVI I bought at Casa del Tabaco (Casa 5 y 16, on 5th Avenue in Miramar). Life is GOOD.
My fellow Americans, forget about embargo, forget about anti Cuban sentiment, just do it.
It is a lifetime experience for any cigar-loving dude. Siglo VI - new shape, feels great, smokes even better. Great cigar. IN the world of cigars Cuba Rules!
