I picked up a couple Siglo III (Lonsdale) from a local B&M smoke shop for Sunday TV football at a friends house. At halftime we light up and were both amazed at this most enjoyable smoke. All I can say is a box of Siglo Limited Reserve will be bought in the near future. My personal rating: 5 stars

Smoked my first Siglo today. Went for Siglo IV. This Nicaraguan made stick is superb! It’s a well rolled cigar with just enough of the famous Nicaraguan leaf pepepry taste, nice aroma, good draw, and a nice solid and light ash. Very consistent end to end which is very important to me. Everything I want in a cigar is here, including the price.

Just turfed one after about an inch and a half (promised myself I would give it a decent shot even after a poor opening). Not a ‘smooth’ smoke, plenty of rough tobacco taste with some pepper and zero complexity. There are MUCH better non cuban cigars in this price point – Olive Series V, Lot 23 Maduro to name a couple. The Siglo is not even a yard-gar, it’s a poor quality smoke with a ugly wrapper and a bad blend.

On the ‘trade name’ borrowing; its obvious – the Cohiba Siglo line are premium cigars with a lot of devotees and are well known as such by even those who don’t smoke cigars regularly. This is a cynical ploy to make the unwary try a bad cigar!

I tried this smoke for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. I am not an expierenced smoker but tend to smoke what I enjoy. There are some things I want in a good cigar and this cigar provided all in spades. The start was not harsh and the burn was even from the get go. Rich creamy smoke, smooth even draw and a gradual sweet spot that lasted for the better part of the cigar. The ash was light grey, fine and even all the way down. This cigar seems a little pricy for me and will not be an everyday smoke, but it will be one that I buy again for sure.

Siglo is an excellent cigar. It comes in third place of my favorite cigars. Number one is the Gurkha Shaggy and coming in a close second is Brickhouse. This is a close list as I would smoke either one of these and know how pleasurable it would be,

Exactly. I’ve heard people saying that they are expecting General Cigars to take up some kind of lawsuit with Altadis for making the Siglo. The Dominican “Red Dot” Cohiba (owned by General Cigars) has nothing to do with the Cuban Cohiba (owned majorly by Altadis).

“Did you pay Cohiba for their ideas? Maybe just send a thank you card?”

Why should they pay Cohiba? Altadis owns a 50% interest in Habanos S.A., so they are borrowing the name and band design of another cigar line that they own.

I too am trying one for the first time. I am enjoying it very much. Just be sure to take your time lighting this baby. I’ve had many a cigar that i rushed to lite, none with such consequences as this one. Once the harshness went away though, i found a great tasting simple Cigar. Peppery, woody, and coffee-eske on the finish. Am halfway through and the leathery note is starting to show its head. I couldn’t be happier.

Im smoking a Siglo II for the first time right now and I have quickly found myself pricing a box out online. Very good cigar.

really accurate review as i am sampling my first Siglo right now. first thing i thought was rough wrapper. spicy , bold, really great draw w/ lots of smoke. not an expert but i know what i like and dislike, good stick would recommend.
