Cohiba Siglo I SLB - 25 cigars [4.0" x 40]
This is a little cigar but being a Cohiba is quite complex.
- • Starts out with cream and chocolate with the Cohiba grassiness.
- • Turns into more cream and tobacco and a complex well blended smoke.
Albeit small, this is a classic Cohiba. Don’t let its diminutive size lead you astray.
Presentation
The Cohiba Siglo I comes in a varnished sliding lid box (SLB) of 25 Cigars with Habanos Packing Code SLB-VW-GPSR-M-n-25
Dimensions:
Length: 102 mm
Diameter: 15.87 mm
Ring gauge: 40
Shape: Petit Corona/Perla
Appearance:
This cigar features a golden caramel colored wrapper, with a fine hairy tooth all over it, and a slick oil sheen to it. The wrapper features only a fine network of veins, and no blemishes or sunspots. The construction is fantastic, featuring a well lined triple cap, and tight, straight seams.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
The foot offers a fine, bready toast aroma, with just a slight floral nuance, as well as a hearty tobacco scent. The cold draw is just slightly snug, and offers a wide range of subtlety, from citrus and grass flavors, to smooth cream and chocolate.
Burn/ Draw
Burns straight with a slightly snug draw. Burns hot if smoked too quickly. Smoke this slowly and you will be rewarded.
Initial third:
In the first third, the cigar develops a nice thick and creamy smoke. Aromas of cocoa, citrus and hay dominate. Some touches of spices also appear. Overall, the cigar is very well balanced; the burn is nice and even. The ash holds firm for almost the whole first third, and when it falls, it leaves a neat straight line.
Middle third:
The second third goes on with the same flavors: chocolate, lemon, flowers. We also notice some black mushroom, cedar, and sweet coffee notes. The cigar can release very subtle aromas thanks to its very smooth and creamy texture, flavor and feel. It is definitely more complex than any comparable cigars. And the spicy touches that appear towards the end are keeping you aware that you are just not smoking any cigar.
Final third:
During the final third, the flavor profile remains consistent. The burn and draw are great, if smoked slowly, as it should be. You would be surprised by the level of complexity attained by the Siglo I in such as short cigar format.
In summary, overall a great quick smoke with classic Cohiba flavor.
Smoking time:
30 - 45 Minutes

Tasty little cigar

By Michael - The Siglo I is an excellent stick for when you only have time for a quick smoke. Rich in flavor that only grows better with aging.

By J - Nice little smoke, tight draw. Well constructed, minimal cracks and veins. Went out pretty easy, had to relight a couple times, but more typical of a smaller cigar. Agree with prior reviews, perfect quick little smoke. Moving forward would probably prefer the robusto or larger.

A nice short smoke

By Chris - They are a nice 30 min, give or take, smoke. Cigar had a nice flavor down to the band. There was some inconsistency in draw in a few, but not bad. Cigars burned evenly. They are great when you only have a little spare time. This will be one of my favored cigars

Good Little Cigar

By Joe - Good little cigar. Very smooth thru first half then gets more flavor finishing up. Had a couple in the box hard to draw but the rest were fine. Great cigar when you want a good smoke with a small amount of time.
