Siglo II - Review by Jason


30th March 2006
Lasy night, I sparked up a fresh Siglo II from a five-pack, and was well disappointed in both the taste and the burn of the cigar. The taste felt miserable and dull - like an afternoon waiting for your wife to finish the shopping. Don't come to me with… more »

Corona Especiales - Review by Jason


23rd March 2006
I reckon all this nonsense about the Corona Especiales is pure hype. I've tried my fair share and they're OK if you can't get a decent replacement. Jumped into the car and drove to my favourite smoking spot, overlooking a valley where I lit up. I may as… more »

Siglo I - Review by Cabbage


23rd March 2006
Well I've burned some shite in my time and I reckon I've had about a 33% success rate with new purchases. I tend to try out a few new ones each month, though sometimesI wish I hadn't. The Siglo I, however was a pleasant surprise. I've tested the III and… more »

Siglo IV - Review by Monet


22nd March 2006
A magnificent after-dinner smoke, took to it immediately. A mild start to the smoke, gently easing one in to an extremely complex array of opulent flavours. Demands to be joined by a single malt, to which,I confess I bowed. She needed stoking occasionall… more »

Siglo IV - Review by Sudgie


21/03/06
I'm rarely drawn to comment on commercial products, prefering instead to discourse on my favoured topics of cleavage and sport. However, on this rare occasion I am willing to make an exception. The Siglo IV - AH! Sublime. One might compare it to eating… more »

Lanceros - Review by Monet


17th March 2006
WHOOSH! Fine robust and aggressive cigar - the Lanceros is full of surprises - as spicy as you like and begging to accompany a (very large) Cognac. Not to be underestimated, but attacked fully. I can highly recommend the Lanceros as an after-dinner delig… more »

Exquisito - Review by Monet


15th March 2006
A well built cigar, but no less than you'd expect from a Cohiba - The Exquisito is one of the cigars that cemented the company's reputation and for good reason. Classic Cohiba flabour right from the start. A gentle introduction but with a peppery kick a… more »

Siglo V - Review by Monet


10th March 2006
I'd heard rumours that there is a bitterness to the Siglo V, so I approached it with trepidation. I need not have been so timorous, it was a joy. I know I appear overly consistent in my praise of the Siglo range, but to date, they have been genuinely imp… more »

Siglo III - Review by Monet


09th March 2006
AH! What a weekend; for the lover of life there is nothing better than the company offriends and the ambience of a fine household. And so I found myself gathering stock for a weekend's sojourn into the Adirondacks with my former comrades-in-arms to parta… more »

Siglo VI - Review by Monet


03rd March 2006
If a man can state with sincerity hat he is passionate about a cigar, then I shall say that I rank among the Siglo faithful. There's not a sample in this brand that I'd be afraid to offer to a dear friend. However, I must say that with a gun to my head I… more »

Siglo VI Review - NOT by Jason.....arghhhh


02nd March 2006
I saw this review of the Siglo VI and copied it because its so, well - pretentious. I will use Zino Davidoff`s own words to describe this cigar: "To Cuba - because great smokers had discovered the virtues of the irreplaceable soil of this miracle isla… more »
