Cohiba Siglo II SLB - 25 cigars [5.1" x 42]
The Cohiba Siglo II has a delicious aroma that will relax you until you fall over.
- • Honey and Cohiba's trademark grassy qualities are clearly apparent in the first half of the smoke.
- • The second and third phases release cocoa, leather, tobacco and vanilla beans on to the palate through an impressively thick smoke.
This is really a beautiful looking and great smoking petit corona with vein-less Colorado/Natural wrapper, good construction and always well filled.

Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
The Cohiba Siglo II cuts with ease. The cut is clean, and the draw is perfect. Everything is of the highest standards. With the premium you're paying for the brand, you expect the highest of quality, and luckily enough this cigar delivers as like many of the Cohiba's. One of the things that was quite pronounced is the smell at the foot of the Cigar was the floral undertones with distinct barnyard. Gotta love that!!
Burn/ Draw
The cigar lights up very easy. The draw is on the firm side, as expected from the beginning, but it's not unpleasant. Any uneven burn quickly evens out, while thick grey ash is forming and stays perfectly on the cigar. Yields billowing clouds of smoke.
Initial third:
With the first few puffs comes a robust leather and tobacco flavor profile that's not overwhelming, but is smooth and agile. A few more puffs reveal a butterscotch, and woody tones that is quite nice as it delivers some depth with the cigar. There's a good amount of smoke coming from the Siglo II that indicates that it's burning well and indicative of the high quality of construction.
The flavor profile so early on is more medium to full then light to medium. If you're someone who likes the old school flavors of the Bolivar's and the Partagas’s then you will enjoy the fuller than usual flavor profile of this Cohiba.
Middle third:
One of the highlights so far is that the burn is just perfect. Every draw sees the burn recede just perfectly down the Cigar without any twists or turns. Exceptional.
The flavor profile of the Siglo II however stays steady to the profile of the first third with hints of honey and leather. Boy this is good. This is very good. We start to pick up some grassy notes and that's not a bad thing.
Final third:
It's getting to the end of the Siglo II in the final third but the cigar is still smoking exceptionally well. Naturally towards the end of the Cigar the strength starts to intensify and this one is no different. The Cohiba Siglo II is an outstanding smoke!
In summary, one needs to let the Siglo II go when your fingertips start to burn and you can't hold on to it any more.
Smoking time:
60 - 90 Minutes

Great cigar , another great addition to the cohiba family
, 4/1/2021
By S Glkney - This cigar was very good, more woody than my usual preference, but makes a great social smoke. Nothing but the best quality and craftsmanship. Great presentation, and box. Would suggest for somebody trying to add something new or different to their humidor

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 -

Siglo II

By Stuck on Cubans - These are a bit spendy no doubt. But well worth the cost hands down. I’ll light up one of these a month to enjoy. Compared to my other faves this does top the pile

A great typical Cohiba go-to!
, 6/13/2018
By Rusty - I received my box today of the Siglo II's from Cigar Terminal. Box was unopened and had original seals from Habanos intact. After carefully reviewing and comparing to another box of Cohiba's I purchased from a competing and reputable site, these are authentic and going into my humidor to refresh them from their trip. The Siglo II's smell almost identical to the box of Siglo I's I have and provide the Cohiba sent I was expecting. Have not enjoyed one yet but happy with how quickly they were shipped and I will be ordering more boxes from CT monthly!.
