Ramon Allones Petit Belicosos which are smoking just perfectly for me; shiny, oily mahogany wrapper, creamy leather and cedar with a hint of aniseed These were covered in mould when the boxes were first opened too...so obviously no long term negative effects and perhaps the opposite

That sounds a dream smoke there Dave

Montecristo Petit Edmundo today, hoping the smoke is better than the weather, can believe its cloudy now when the week of work has been unbearably hot! (well I can believe it but that doesn't stop it annoying me...)

With Chris at the hairdressers I thought I'd try one of my 'walkin' wounded'. A wrapper damaged Siglo VI. I've never really understood or got on with these. They're smooth, they're creamy and the is start is nice enough, but where the progression is I don't know, or it's so subtle to be beyond my taste buds .... and as for 'bean', there's not a runner or canellini in 'em! Big, monotonous things IMO, If Habanos decided to delete the overrated buggers I really couldn't give a shit.

Telling it like it is, eh amigo?

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I for one like 'em, especially with some age on them. How old was yours?

:juggler: um BB. You forgot to include the quote from se?or TXXX.

How old was yours?

Possibly/probably not very old maybe .... I can only afford to buy them as packs or singles, but in saying that I've had a few in the humi since 09, but whether it was one of them I don't know!

Contrairian!

I find that Cohibas need more humi-time than many other puros to be enjoyable. I remember the first Siglo I I smoked with just only a few months age was positively awful...but it was from 2001, so that may have something to do with it, as well.

I like your spirit, senor triplexxx. Or as the kids used to say...RIGHT ON, MUVA' FU......well, I'm sure you remember what they used to say.

Hey RJ. I didn't know they still made se?or T's emoticon. Good to see it again.

I disagree. I'm smoking my Siglo IIs fresh from Cuba and the maduro secretos all nicely without age. Those are my recent ones but it's all nice.

To each his own I guess. And to mine, an emptier wallet.

hey arf, how've you been? haven't noticed you around these parts!! lol!! BTW, i totally agree with you regarding the cohiba siglo VI!! i reckon my success rate with these is roughly 1 in 5...... same as the monte 2!! however, when on form, they're hard to beat!!

this evening i had a PSD4, my first in ages!! the 5th one out of a 2010 10ct box!! spectacular it was, an absolute treat!! next up is a party lusitania or serie E2....... with maker's mark bourbon!!!

Cohiba Siglo II. I lit one of these up yesterday and was not a fan, however, today, I can say that this is a very nice cigar with great flavours.
My palette must be different today, plus, I've had something to eat, am drinking whisky, and I'm not thoroughly knackered like yesterday.
Very nice - creamy, grassy with a delicate sweetness - almost like slightly overdone toast with butter and honey.

hey man, that's a pretty good description of the cohiba siglo2!! if you like green tea, i can't recommend enough pairing it up with some nettle tea (you can get this in any health store, i've even seen it in tesco)!! nettle tea is grassy, herbally, woody....... and a tea spoon of honey really adds to it!! cohiba and trinidad realling go well with it!! trust me, it's the only thing i drink when smoking these cigars....
