I should preface this review with a disclaimer of sorts. I rank the Cohiba Siglo VI as the best of all modern Cuban cigars and easily my most preferred.

The Siglo VI has had criticism in the past for alleged varying degrees of quality. To set the record straight my experience with regard to quality has been impeccable and I always enjoy time spent smoking this cigar. The weather had been hot and humid and partnering my Siglo VI was a Boag’s Classic Blonde Low Carb beer. This particular Siglo VI was no different to any other I had smoked as it offered a flawless oily wrapper and perfectly formed cap. The stunning rich aroma offered is one of the Siglo VI traits that keeps me coming back time and time again. I cut the end with my trusty CC Cutter and lit up using a single flame jet lighter. The Siglo VI lit up superbly and right from the outset the even burn gave way to a draw that was cool and creamy.

This cigar offered smooth, creamy, almost chocolate overtones from the beginning which continued to develop, growing stronger as I progressed. I settled in and enjoyed this cigar, with its structure remaining sound until the very end.

The tobacco grown in the Vuelta Abajo district undergoes a third fermentation process which is one of the reasons the Siglo VI offers such smoothness. This region of Cuban landscape potentially offers us all excellence. Somewhere nestled in the humid valleys of rich soil, between the limestone hills, lies a heartland of tobacco fields teaming with potential for greatness. And to think that I am actually holding a small piece of this Cuba in my hand. Wow, what a cigar!The Cohiba Siglo VI is a full bodied classic and the epitome of what is adored in the Cohiba brand! Overall I’d rate this cigar a 9.9/10. Ninety minutes of smoking pleasure.. and the perfect cigar!
