dangolf18 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Has anybody had any '99-'02 Cohiba with factory code ARA? Pondering whether to get a box of Cohiba Siglo V from '01. Thanks.
El Presidente Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Has anybody had any '99-'02 Cohiba with factory code ARA? Pondering whether to get a box of Cohiba Siglo V from '01. Thanks. Can't help mate but happy to move it to the top in the hope you get an overnight response.
ChanceSchmerr Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Ive had 2000 and 2001 ARA boxes of Diplomaticos #1s that were awesome, but no cohibas, sorry mate.
Smallclub Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Ive had 2000 and 2001 ARA boxes of Diplomaticos #1s that were awesome, Yes, me too, but, a factory rolling great Diplomaticos doesn't necessarily rolls good Cohiba at the same time, if you see what I mean... A few years ago, a french forum mate from Paris purchased these ARA Siglo V in petacas. He was SO surprised with the taste, that he sent me a couple and asked my opinion – he tended to think that they could be fakes. Actually they were legit (according to my tastebuds and knowing that the vendor is trustworthy) but surprisingly mild… not that bad, but mild, and lacking aroma and presence.
Maplepie Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Hmmmmmm. I've had some Siglo IIs that were horrendous. Still have one left. I do wonder why the only ones left (most of them) from 98-02 are Siglo Vs. Not that I'm complaining, of course. But wonder why that is. Speaking of which, anyone know the HnF vintage box codes are for their popular Sig Vs? Sent by the Enigma on BlackBerry.

Siglo V would have to rate in the top 3 slowest selling cigars in the world from that period. Cuaba (excluding Divinos) may have taken over post
Maplepie Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 That's what I thought... There were way too many other Lonsdales to choose from that time, eh? Sent by the Enigma on BlackBerry.
dangolf18 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 Thanks Rob for bumping. Thanks Smallclub for the headsup. These would be in SLB not petacas so maybe they've held up better over time. Anything Cohiba pre-2003 just makes me giddy so might just have to pull the trigger.
Maplepie Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 . Anything Cohiba pre-2003 just makes me giddy so might just have to pull the trigger. Tell that to the gents looking for pre-97 cigars Keep us informed, Dan! Sent by the Enigma on BlackBerry.
