Cohiba Siglo III (Cuba)
Posted by Admin under Cigar Reviews (Photos)
Ahh… the smell that fills the room when you light up a Cohiba siglo cigar. The Siglo III is no exception. The sweet notes, mixed with dark leather and earth, are nothing short of captivating, but I’m getting ahead of myself…
The Cohiba Siglo III is a very well constructed cigar; I’d say flawless. You can expect a spotless wrapper and a solid feel to the cigar overall. The pre-light scent I find unique to the Cohibas, and reminiscent of sweet butter and cacao. Yet, as soon as you hold this unlit stick in your mouth, the peppery character of the Cuban tobacco begins to hint at its richness. Take a minute to hold it, test the draw, and begin a rapturous journey. Take it slow, one step at a time, and enjoy all the Siglo III has to offer.
The draw on this cigar is a bit firm, but will usually loosen up a tad in the second third. No matter, once lit the musky, dark, richness takes center stage for the next eighty minutes. Billows of the thick white smoke are delivered right from the start with a burst of peppery sweetness.
The sweet character will not recede, but will remain extremely well balanced throughout by the increasing spice, leather, and earth. A faint cedar undertone at the start will crescendo slightly in the last third, but will remain smooth and without a trace of harshness. You’ll feel compelled to take it right to the nub on account of it’s exceptional smoothness, and this magnificent cigar certainly merits it.
As for the burn, it is on the spot, so you can relax and muse away. The ash is solid; you can drop it and it won’t fall apart.
There aren’t enough good things I can say about this one. Rated a solid 95 by Cigar Afficionado, the Cohiba Siglo III is a tribute to the Siglo line, a smoke that spells out finesse; an experience to be sought by every cigar lover, at first opportunity.
