Cohiba Siglo I

Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Cohiba Siglo I opens with a refined medium body, delivering an elegant mix of sweet cedar, golden hay, and toasted almond over a base of light cream and subtle earth. The retrohale adds gentle white pepper, nutmeg, and a hint of citrus blossom, brightening the profile without disturbing its smooth core. By the second third, the flavors broaden into honey-drizzled brioche, buttered cashew, and light caramel, while the pepper mellows into a soft, background warmth. A faint floral sweetness emerges, weaving seamlessly into the creamy mid-palate. In the final third, the cigar gains depth with milk chocolate, toasted oak, mild coffee, and a touch of baking spice, finishing clean, smooth, and slightly sweet with a lingering nutty tone.

Construction and Draw
The petit corona vitola is impeccably rolled with a silky Cuban wrapper over Cuban binder and filler. The seams are nearly invisible, the triple cap is precise, and the pack is even and firm. Cold draw reveals hay, light vanilla, and a touch of honey. Upon lighting, the draw is effortless, producing dense, cool smoke with a creamy mouthfeel. The burn line remains sharp with minimal waviness, and the ash stacks into tight, light-gray coins that hold well over an inch. Combustion is steady throughout, rewarding a slow, relaxed pace.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
Pair with The Glenlivet 12 Year or Havana Club Selección de Maestros Rum; both enhance the cigar’s cream, cedar, and nutty sweetness while adding subtle spice and length to the finish.

Final Assessment
