Cohiba Siglo II SLB - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on March 10, 2020):

Wow. It had been about 24 years since I had smoked a Cohiba. This Siglo II quickly met and exceeded my expectations. What an amazing experience of flavor and aroma. In 1995 I was a new cigar fan and in Jamaica so i decided to treat myself and buy a box of Cohibas. They only had Lanceros which has become a favorite shape of mine. I smoked about 7 when there and took the rest home (I still have 3 in my humidor). I realized quickly the difference in these and the non Cuban cigars i had been smoking and that they truly appealed to my palate like no other. As time went on I smoked less and less and recently was told about Cigar Terminal by a trusted friend and wanted to try a Cohiba again and see if what I remembered was true. The CT experience was flawless and my cigars arrived very quickly, perfectly packaged. Condition was ideal, these were stamped September 2019. I was busy most of the evening, but I could not wait to try one. From the first draw, I was back in Jamaica having that Cohiba experience. The first notice is a creaminess, and not like other cigars, it's this Umami / soft nuttiness that has a texture of after you swallow some heavy creamed coffee or even whipped cream. Here are my other flavor notes:
underlying consistence spice
middle third tangy bbq sauce
then a mild earthiness, always pleasing keeps you coming back
incredible texture
incredible feel and longer burn than expected.

so yeah a long review, but since getting back into cigars, this is the first one that moved me like this. Can't recommend enough
