Cohiba Siglo III - First ACTUAL review.

[Puff Scotty]

60,65,70% ..none of these will give you the problem your having & I can tell from the ash/burn in your photos the cigar is not too wet...
As I said, you're smoking too fast, learn to regulate your smoking pattern..it will change for every stick you smoke..learn to relax with the draw..
& get yourself a good cutter..

I guess this one is a tad thinner than norm. but what's the good pattern to smoke it during the last.. sixth?
And yes, that is true too. I normally use the bullet on the back of my lighters, but this time i didn't have my good scissors with me,

That very last inch of a cigar is not always the best anyways...stick to a relaxed frequency, no need to up the pace, and if you're having real trouble with it staying lit than take that as a sign that your smoke is over!

Yup, once it went out the fourth time, i lobbed that away. Fuck me if i had to deal with whatever came after that........

Butternut, 65% is fine & where I aim to keep mine, for thin sticks, like 28 & 32,62-63% will give an easier draw. I would back the suggestion of drawing slower, 45-60sec's is possible, which means it shouldn't be burning, hot. Secondly I never have a smoke without drink. If you don't need or want alcohol, then coffee or even a glass of water would help preventing burning your palate. Thirdly, try your next No3 in 6months & give an update to this thread & let's see if you notice any difference.
For me the Siglo III is one of the best of the mline & is a fine & refined smoke.I do like your two scores one for with the cost taking into account the price & the other not. Cohibas are expensive & it's up to the individual to decide wheter they are worth the extra cost. My choice is yes, for celebrations & red letter days. I wouldn't smoke them all the time even if I could afford to.

Oh, I don't know Si. $9.00 for a Siglo III Tubos would rate 100/100 anywhere pricewise including Cuba! Suddenly these would become an everyday chuffer, 'cos that's cheaper than a Jermyn Street Demi Tasse.

Ah, I've never thought of separating them by ring gauge. I'll take a viddy what i can do with my smaller humis. To your second point, you have reason. Guess itd be wise as I'm drawing unfiltered molten smoke into my mouth,
And alright, I'll pen it down for an update in December. I'm going back to cuba in Dec anyways (perks of being a canadian:rollseyes: )

I've also 5 cohiba robustos i have from my trip too. I'll post a review of those in late September on their 6month birthday
Those were $13 each. Something i do have to consider because i still am a student......

Hahaha, is that a joke because the Deutchers have 2cl shots whereas the rest of Europe seem to have 4cl??

[fordi]

I have found this very useful Jeremy! Many thanks bud.

[Manning]

[butternutsquashpie]

Cheers everyone!
I love how this keeps coming back

Speaking of which, when the other Siglo III turns 1 year old, I'll post up differences
