CIGAR #1

Cohiba Siglo VI (Tubo)-PURCHASED FROM THE COHIBA FACTORY IN HAVANA

#19 on Cigar Afficianos 2016 Top 25 list
There are a lot of “firsts” surrounding the Cohiba Siglo VI. It was the first addition to the Linea 1492 (or Siglo Series) since the brand was released. It was the first Cohiba in a tube. It was the first tube with the two-part, pull-cap design to come out of Cuba. It was the first Cohiba to exceed a ring gauge of 50. And it was also the first Cohiba to be on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list, making its inaugural appearance for the best cigars of 2004.

Despite the long list of firsts, the Siglo VI is also a fantastic cigar. Many are made at El Laguito, which is Cohiba’s mother factory, and even though the ring gauge is fairly heavy, Siglo VI cigars only have half a leaf of ligero tobacco in the blend, so the smoke has body, but isn’t too powerful. Balance in blending is a difficult act, but necessary, especially with Cohiba—probably the most famous cigar name in the world.

 

CIGAR #2

Romeo y Julieta Romeo No 2 Review: This cigar is from Havana. NOT made in the Domincian Republic

Medium in strength and a characteristic Romeo y Julieta style. Robust and complex flavours such as floral, nutty, herbal or woody among others with none of them standing out in particular. The minimum recommended ageing for this cigar is at least three years. Strength 3/5. Shorter in length than No 1.

 

Two bottles of rum from Havana. One dark, one  light.
