Review Notes: I bought a box of these in St. Maarten from a reputable cigar dealer, so I know they are legitimate. I have encountered even some of the mosty savvy cigar smokers who have been taken by "Fauxhibas"...but my review will be accurate. First of all, if your cigars don't come in a mack daddy box tied with silk ribbons and with all kinds of historical data pieces on the Siglo line and Cuban stamps...you have fakes. They don't come in plastic tubes...the real labels have "Cohiba" in beautiful gold embossing on them...and they have a gorgeous color to them. They are some of the prettiest cigars that I have seen...and they taste even better. This is probably the easiest drawing cigar I have smoked...very well made...and the overall flavor profile was complex, smooth and mild to medium in strength. I am not a Cuban "snob", but they are pretty special. I will report back after some aging...

Review Notes: This is a great tasting cigar it's smoothing with great nutty flavor that any smoker from novice to snob can enjoy. Novice will like the flavor and the nice scent. And they are cuban maybe not the best but certantly good. Just don't go overpaying for them.

Review Notes: Two siglo IIs purchased from the same box on the same day...one I smoked pretty soon and the other sat aging for about 9 months. The first was similar to the Siglo I, with a medium body and coffee/charry overtones on top of a nutty body. The second had dropped off to almost nothing, with very muted flavors and only occasional hints of the charry and coffee brilliance of the young cigar. My take is either they are horribly inconsistent or handle aging awfully...either of which could explain the predominance of "faux Cohibas." Maybe they aren't fakes after all, just inconsistent or aged too long.

Review Notes: this one is better than the siglo I, imo. Isn't as strong as other Cohiba cigars but doesn't disappoint, medium strength, some complexity and burns without runners, as some Isoms do, only gripe is that their a little pricey.

Review Notes: Having gone through the learning curve of buying "Fauxhibas" I am absolutely certain that the box I picked up are the genuine thing. Aroma, Triple cap, Acurate new band, New Tax Stamp (which has the secret color part that shows up under a black light, etc.) I can honestly say that the Siglio II's are overrated. A pretty darn good cigar, but not quite worth all the price and hype. The cuban flavor is there alright, but I don't think it is as good as a Partagas No. 4. I've smoked about a half dozen in the past 2 weeks and the burn can sometimes be uneven, but the draw is usually pretty good. I'd probably enjoy the bigger Cohibas more, but they are so expensive, I am driven to trying the less popular brands. If you can afford the price, go for it. If you want a great Cuban with a better price/value try Partagas, Bolivar or ERDM.
