I hold this cigar in high regard. It was only the third cigar I had ever smoked, the previous two being a Arturo Fuente Chateau with Maduro wrapper, and a house rolled cigar from Don Yayo in Las Vegas. I didn't really enjoy the first two, just trying to figure out this social convention that is cigar smoking, however I began smoking this cigar and that's when it clicked that I could actually enjoy this new hobby.
First, I couldn't find anyone with a punch or cutter, so I bit off the cap. The first draw was a little off, but I'm going to blame that on the lighter I used. Once I settled into it, my first thoughts were just how smooth this cigar was, the draw nice, the burn was perfect, and it had a lot of flavor. Sadly I waited a year to write this so I'm uncertain of which flavors I picked up. I can say with certainty that there wasn't a pepperiness to it, because it was the first cigar I smoked that didn't have that black pepper taste. I remember there was a richness like caramel and nutty notes. I plan to get my hands on another one soon, perhaps a trip to Canada is in order.
This Cohiba Siglo IV is currently my favorite, although I've learned Robusto is my prefered size in general, so I hope to land a Robusto some day soon.
