First Lady Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Hello everyone Sorry for the delay I thought I would give an extra day or so due to the 4th July celebrations Cigar Number 4 was ........................Cohiba Siglo 4 - SEA OCT 16 This one stumped a lot of you Looking forward to the final reviews on Cigar Number 5 Lisa BLIND TASTING COMP 2017 CIGAR 4 REVEAL.pdf 2
dominattorney Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 The siglo wasn't even on my radar. Congrats to everyone who got it
cardinalfan85 Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Nice, I got it right! In my email I said I hoped I was wrong because I can't shell out for a box of those at the moment, and my sample was fantastic. I think I liked the Punch Punch just as well though, possibly even more. They were certainly both mid 90 smokes for me-- I love that size! 1

I have to admit I did have a giggle when you wrote that you choose well 2

BuzzArd Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Well my example was the most tasteless CC I've ever set fire to sadly.... The next day i blazed up a Mag 46 that was just as tasteless so that was how I guessed. Hoping the Sig 4s I have onhand are all better sticks. I had the Sig 4 on my radar as well as the Epi No1, but would never have guessed it was a Cohiba... Sometimes it happens.... Congratulations to those who nailed it!!
treberty Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 I have never been a big fan of Cohiba (overpriced imo) and it showed with cigar #4... in fact I had never smoked a Siglo 4 before. I thought it had the Hoyo profile and that it was a no brainer. Never imagined it could be a Cohiba. Kudos to those guessed right!! Really enjoying this blind tasting comp. 3
watches_whiskies_cigars Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Congratulations to those who got this!! This was certainly one of the most disappointing Siglo IV I've smoked and I wish I could chalk my example to just youth. Oddly enough, my example was distinctly box pressed. 1
Texwrangler Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 yayyyyyyyyyyyyy.......now 3/4. and LISA did not help me any.. even after I gave her my best 'come hither sexy' eye look :-) I tried to give everyone hints...with the word 'classy'. 1

backbone Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 I am leaning to the "they are all individuals " philosophy of cigars. I had a Punch Punch last night that tasted like a 5yo PLPC- all caramel. Mmmmm 3
sam Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 This was my first ever correct guess through three blind tasting events. I actually thought this was an easy one. I must have received a good specimen. ---- sam 2
Tesoro12 Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Welp I whiffed on this one badly. Really disappointing as I had a ton of current production ones when I was on the island and thought I was familiar with the profile. Oh well, I'd agree with others that this didn't strike me as a phenomenal stick but based on my other experience with the 4, I'd mark it as an outlier. Either way, congrats to those who did! Kudos. 1

My guess was HdM Epi #1. From the flavors I got out of cigar #4 Cohiba Siglo IV never even crossed my mind. 1
TomF Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Wow. I'm flummoxed. That was like no Siglo IV that I've ever had, and I'm very familiar with the Siglo IV. It's my favorite from the Cohiba line. My guess? It was from one of those bad batches that Rob usually sends back. Oh well...so it goes...still a fun contest. 1
spivey6690 Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Enjoyed the cigar and thought it was distinctly Cohiba. Unfortunately, my wife interrupted my smoke about 1/3 through. Oh well, at least I got it right.
spivey6690 Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Also, I noticed that we no longer have any undefeated participants.

Yeah, I'm surprised that "subtle" hint didn't give it away. 2

LordAnubis Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Didn't even get the vitola right . Must've mistaken it for the epi 1. My bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
GavLew79 Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Tasted just like my JLo #1's I have in stock...so I'll rest easy in the knowledge that they are $189 and lovely, rather than $389 and lovely! ? 1

I'll have to catch you in the home stretch with the last cigar. My best guess is a Boli Corona Junior....Don't copy me.... 1
