Anyone smoking Siglo VI's lately

I have smoked a total of 8 of these and I still have one left in my humidor (codes unknown), but they are a great medium-to-full bodied stick (although I had one that was plugged beyond repair).
I had one, probably a couple of months ago. It was gifted as a single, so I don't know anything about its pedigree. It was quite decent and burned well. However, given the hype, I was somewhat disappointed. But keep in mind that I am generally not a big Cohiba fan (JMO, YMMV).
I have smoked two out of my 03 box and they were awesome. So smooth and creamy,perfect burn. I got those at LCDH in Rome Itlay.
I have a box of 04s resting as well. I think these cigars are great,smoke and construction wise. But, they need some time to sit. I am thinking atleast 4 years minimum.
But that 03 did taste good !

I've smoked two from my ten pack that's about 18 months old. I've been underwelmed with both of them. I had my first siglo 1 a couple of months ago and enjoyed that flavor much more. The siglo 6 is on the mild side. It seemed a little boring for the price tag. I'm not sure how Cohibas age, but I wouldn't assume that they would gain much strength, which is needed, IMO. My advice, even with the deal your talking about, I would pass. There are better smokes at that price. Maybe try a 10pack if you can find them on sale some day. Good luck with your choice.

All you rat bastards here and over at CW talking about these and the special and all........well, I am in going to get in trouble now.....I just pushed the process order button!
Smoked a few lately...thought they were great, and none of those I smoked were underfilled...however, I favor the BBF's and the PSD4's so they seemed a tad milder to me...owljones said:

I've smoked a couple that were gifted to me and I have not been impressed. I am a huge Cohiba fan and stock quite a few boxes Siglo III,IV and V's along with Robustos, Lanceros and Corona Especiales. To me the VI just doesn't have the normal Cohiba flavor profile, granted the ones I smoked were young, but the Cohiba flavor just wasn't there for me.
I will say the tubos are one of the best looking tubes on the market, very cool.

Wasch_24, the expense to each cigar will probably be huge if they do that. Imagine a Upmann Corona Major A/T with a nice tube, the price will probably jump 25 bucks plus per box.
I'd rather have the old tube and the old price. As much as I like that tube, you can't smoke it.
