Had my first Cohiba Siglo II at the weekend and I'm now anxious to try more and I've found this sampler and would like any advice on the other 3 please.
The Robusto is quite decent (still not quite worth the whole ?20 imo but consistently good at least) and as for the Secretos I've heard good things from the American's and a few UK guys but yet to try them
Siglo I I've heard is not worth it (accordingly to some), hope that helps
I enjoy all the cigars listed, but I really like Cohiba generally. If you enjoyed the Cohiba you smoked go for others in the range, just bare in mind there is a premium with them
Had an excellent old Robusto from Tommy and a couple OK young ones that just tasted like beans really. I have a YouTube review of the Secretos if your interested in how I feel on that.
Cant specifically remember much about Sig I and have never smoked a II to memory so I will refrain from commenting on them.

This is my take on the cigars that I have actually smoked. Secretos I can do without having again however they're not horrible like the genios[emoji37]. The Siglo's I've had I do like. I love 4 &6, haven't had 2&3, thought 5 & 1 were good but I've only had one of each so it's hard to say.
CoRo are all over the place, of the ones I've smoked from five different cabs I've had good, crap and amazing. I can't say I'll buy more unless I've smoked from the box before buying it.
I think everyone agrees that without age they're not worth the money but with age the siglo 6 is still the king for me.
Having said all that I would still go for the sampler, you might love secretos and think siglo 6 are horse shit.

I see you have caught the Cohiba Bug! and its a good bug to catch............but will sting your wallet!
The Siglo II you sampled is actually a great stick and should never be undermined as another 'Petit Corona', also a great introductory cigar into the brand. The Siglo I is a neat smoke and the Secretos i couldn't care to much for, but the Robusto is a phenomenal smoke never fails to impress. (Think i need to treat my self to a box for Christmas this year!)
Cohiba is the type of brand that will leave you intrigued to try more, but with a premium. Like with all cigars though if you don't try you will never know.
Some links to probably the best Cohiba sample packs in the UK Mitch at Cgars and My Smoking Shop, cheers
From that bunch i have only ever had aged robustos and loved them, creamy and smooth smooth smooth, but as above its not the first time i have heard they can be hit n miss, which is a pain at their premium price point.
loved siglo 4 & 6 but dont remember trying others although i kinda know i have.....
dive in if you are tempted, looks like a good deal
