Have you even held a cigar that fit softly in your hands but felt as though it carried the influence of a gold brick!? Well this is that cigar. First impressions of the Siglo VI by Cohiba are that this is one cigar that is very well put together. It has that elusive charm of a Robusto, but the significance of a large cigar. This is one canon shot that gets your attention.

It was a fairly simple light for a cigar of this gauge and it required few corrections. This cigar was a unique experience for me as I was always trying to figure it out but always just missed its intentions. This cigar starts off aggressive and makes me think it will be spicy all the way, but just as you prepare for a frontal assault you can see the cigar shows its strategy and gives you a milder refinement found often in Hoyo De Monterrey cigars. Now at this point I was beginning to understand that I think I had just run into the first cigar that has ever outsmarted me! With a very sneaky coffee flavour that left a little bitter taste on the back of the tongue, and the consistent grassy flavour that defines the Cohiba brand this cigar was flowing with subtleties. An unusual taste for Cohiba is the underlying sweet influence of vanilla that is very difficult to pin down on this cigar (don't get me wrong though, there is only a slight influence here). An ever evolving spectrum of very subtle changes in flavour is what characterizes this stick and will have you more and more interested in the story this cigar has to tell. With a fantastic aroma and a great array of flavours this cigar is highly recommended (though my experience was with a two year old cigar, so age might be a factor).

All I can suggest is that you forget the hype surrounding this cigar. If you hear it is overrated or underrated forget what others say and allow yourself the simple pleasure of being intrigued by this clever cigar.
