Siglo Limited Reserve

[Wigwam_Motel]

Broadleaf binder and hand-selected Dominican and Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos, highlighted by a robust Ecuadorian Cubano wrapper.


Had to give this smoke a try since it's new in the market & the price point was great. A very coarse & toothy but oily Colorado cream looking wrapper. Almost a flaw less cigar & a prefect roll, with a shape edge burn. This smoke was actually pleasant, not over powering but at the same time enjoyable. Some of the characteristics you would expect from Nicaraguan and Dominican tobacco, hints of spicy, woodiness, dry but cool sweet smoke. Fantastic ash, majority of the ash was white and able to hold its own.

Hmmm might have to give this one a try. Thanks for the review!

 

[Bull Moose]

Wow, glad to hear these are decent cause I saw them in my B&M and chuckled a bit. I just may have to pick some up now!

 

[diesel]

Wasn't impressed. They were giving these away at one of the shops I frequent.

 

[Electric Sheep]

I've been wanting to try them--I've heard they're really tasty.

Unfortunately, I just can't get past the absolutely laughable packaging.

 

[Wigwam_Motel]

I found the packaging and the band to be stunning.

I'm hoping that's sarcasm.:smokingbo

 

[VirginIslander]

may be a straight up rip off, buts its getting attention

I'm hoping that's sarcasm.:smokingbo

no, because when I saw this cigar in the shop, I stuck my nose up to it. Then my buddy and the shop owners were talking about it, and how new the blend is etc. I had to try it, and actually broke my "cigar ego"; gotta try everything and giving it a chance without dismissing it until you've tried it.

Got one of these for free at a local. Not sure I'd want to try a second one, even for free.

This stick has several things going against it prior to even lighting it.

1. It is an Altadis product and I don't like Altadis
2. Obviously it is a complete ripoff and an attempt to get unknowing smokers to buy their sticks
3. Did I mention that I don't like Altadis

I was given a sample of this stick by my Altadis rep last week and gave it to a customer without even trying it. I can do without this one.

Wow, I thought you were a true Cigar Nerd. :fencing: Gotta try it once...

I still retain the title of cigar nerd, but the blatant deceptive band and name just pissed me off. They are clearly relying on ignorance to boost their sales, the damn thing looks like a Cohiba and is called the Siglo series. They could at least TRY to cover up their evil ways. You know me, I will probably smoke one anyway.
