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 your tales of spice and chocolate and other juiced-up phoney descriptions. A smoke is a smoke.
It's burning hot air, tar and all harshness, and that's what Cohiba's Siglo II was for me. Raw and nasty.
I wasn't impressed. It smoked like a $1 cigar and it burned down one side, forcing me to light the other side several times. I'm beginning to think this whole Cohiba-mystique thing is nonsense.
Good thing this was a gift. I'd never chuck money, or even 1/4 of the money at a Cohiba. I'd trade 10 Cohibas for a Montecristo #2 without hesitation.
DANGER: Stay away from Cohiba Siglo II. In fact don't even go into the same room.
