I smoked a Siglo VI from May '04 yesterday compliments of Ric.
The construction was great and it had the expected pre-light aroma. The first few puffs gave lots of smoke with a grassy flavor. I would say (and actually did) that the first inch or so gave the impression of a light to medium bodied cigar, I guess you could say that I was wrong. It ended up being the strongest ISOM I've ever had. By the end it was clear that the cigar had kicked my a$$ to not only me but to Ric too. I had to step out of the shop and get a soda and doughnut next door. Although the burn was a little uneven at times, the draw was perfect all the way down.
It was a great smoke but I'm going to have to agree with Ric that they could use a little age on them before torching them up.
Thanks Ric
