Ok I'll keep this brief. This stick isn't what I was expecting, in truth I thought it might lack the punch I like but not a bit. Its peppery but sweet before lighting which gives out to a lovely resiny spicy smoke. I'm only ten mins in and I get it! Previously PGD5 was my Cuban benchmark. This is not like that at all. Nicotine strong and tasty.

A good afternoon's work Tommy from Reading .... and excellent pictures!

I'll be puffing on a Siglo I tonight paired with a glass of Cragganmore 21yr old.

Lemsip and Covonia. Ill, again. Never ill this often. I reckon it was that coach from Tuesday as two other lads I was with came down with something as well.

That's a cracking pairing that.

Having a go with the La Rica Robusto Maduro. Not a bad smoke, little one dimensional but ok. It was the cheapest of the NC's I bought so figured it would be a good place to start.

Don't usually do this but I'm with a fellow cigar bro tonight so I'm having another with him and this Fonseca 20y tawny.

I had a Te Amo World Selection Nicaragua Blend Robusto this afternoon. It was a medium strength cigar with a very spicy and sweet flavouruploadfromtaptalk1399141775689.jpguploadfromtaptalk1399141800327.jpg

Maybe I should try them again, the Te Amo I had was a real mallet to the face.

I've quite enjoyed the 2 I've had. They are decent but not top of the range quality imo. I think I prefered the Dominican to the Nicaraguan blend. I'll have to try the other 2 blends I have and see how they compare

Wow that was AMAZING! I have to say that is probably the first time I've enjoyed a cigar that size all the way to the nub. I usually do stop at the band but I was sad it ended. Probably one of the nicest smokes of my short cigar smoking life.

Never had one before, don't know the age on these but definitely under 11 years, could be as new as 3 years old. Will follow this with some comments on the stick although I've never written a review so it'll just be my thoughts on the experience. Got a nice bottle of Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2009 to go with it.

I've done some research and some measuring etc and these are Siglo VI not Siglo IV as I first thought they were which is a result.

*note to self* When herfing while mowing the lawn don't drop your cigar under the mower. *Doh*

Eek... Hope it wasn't something special!

I liked the Nicaraguan best, going by my notes I pegged it as decent but not great.
