Popular Post Bijan Posted November 28, 2020 Popular Post Posted November 28, 2020 A Siglo II from my box with the lighter wrappers. Cigar is again just over official weight. 9mm punch and draw is a bit tight. Some twigs and bunched leaves near the head. Had to go in about 3 times with the perfecdraw and draw is better but still snug. The cigar smoked fine though. Pre-light draw of butter. This is a first for me. First third: Butter is the dominant flavour. Towards the end of the first third coffee but drowned out in butter. Second third: This is a bit more coffee but still butter. Butter fades a bit towards the end. Final third: Still butter, but a bit closer to cream. 67 minute smoke time. Terrifically even burn. Never had to touch it up. Just under a 4/5. Excellent construction, excellent burn, butter is a very interesting flavour. A little weak on flavour, especially on the retrohale. Not much transition. Still a solid smoke. And anything over 50 minutes on a mareva is good for me. 9

It was for 49 ring gauge and below cigars and was called 49rg south review weekend.

mprach024 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Another good review. I haven’t had a Sig II in a couple years, I was having rotten luck but seems like many are having success again, maybe I should have grabbed some on 24:24 today. Butter makes everything taste better.
Kaptain Karl Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Well that sounds fantastic!! I snagged a box of II’s last night so I hope they smoke nearly as well as the el laguito II’s.

Thanks https://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/cigar/officialweights And also: https://www.cubancigarwebsite.com/cigar/cohiba/siglo-ii The older website cigar-reviews.org also has some weights: http://www.cigars-review.org/Cohiba-Siglo-II.htm http://www.cigars-review.org/Mareva-Size.htm Edit: They usually agree. Cigar-reviews doesn't have all the newer cigars though. 1

Bijan Posted January 29, 2021 Author Posted January 29, 2021 Just now, Gamehawker said: Thank you very much for that information. Just keep in mind that cigars weights have a range of maybe -15% to +30% of official weight, and so the official weight is towards the lower end of the weight spectrum for any cigar size. 1
Kaptain Karl Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 @Bijan I know you snagged 2 boxes of them, have you smoked another recently? I ordered one this week, I’m hoping they’ll be ready to rock within the next 2 years or so!

Tstew75 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 El Laguito Sig2s are one of the best things that's ever come out of Cuba. 1

Might do the MAR tomorrow (light wrapper). The UMR was consistent with my previous review. Coffee and grass/hay. Some bit of spice in first third. Some sweetness in second third. A little more bitter in final third. Edit: 80 minute smoke time. 1 1
