Deep Dive: Cohiba Medio Siglo

[El Presidente]

Cohiba Medio Siglo 

I don't believe that I have ever had a Cohiba Medio Siglo that I haven't enjoyed. Some are blistering good and others are just "good to very good" but overall I can't recall a dud. I love the sweet Cohiba goodness blend that these deliver. 

Yes, I hate the size.  When you have a blend this good, it is wasted on a Petit Robusto.  These days you also need to be "Snoop rapper rich" to smoke them regularly

THE Cigar that started me down the rabbit hole. A young one but damn that thing was awesome!

I didn't see the need to acquire these until I tried one. For me, they are that good. Different to a Cohiba Siglo I because it tends to have more mocha and more of a buttered texture. One thing you can be sure of...these are pretty much always full of flavour!

[MrBirdman]

I prefer them to CoRo, incredibly rich flavor, though I wish they were half an inch longer. They’re quite strong, and even at their modest length one of the few cigars that can leave me lightheaded. 

[Hammer Smokin']

by far my least favourite from Cohiba. (although I haven't tried the pyramid extra) 

all the nic power without any of the flavours that make Cohiba my favourite. 

[Edicion]

Rich, bold, and bigger than CORO in terms of flavors. Despite the size, I don't grab one when I need a short stick, these are good on their own.

I prefer the Tubos for some reason and when smoked slowly they are an hour of pleasure.

The ones I have had been max 3 y on them, but I think they can age beautifully.

91-92 young but should be able to get a 92-94 with a bit of age.

I agree, like most Cohiba these really love tubes.

I had one whilst in Mexico last month.  2022 box code.  I thought it was just ok.  Not sure I would purchase a box of them, my favorite Cohiba is still the Siglo III.

[GolfT3]

Love them. Intense flavors right out of the gate and never lets up. As much as I don’t love the size, I’m not sure I could handle this blend in a significantly larger vitola. Can easily make these last over an hour, sometimes hour and a half.

[MagicalBikeRide]

Love everything except the price. Has always come out the blocks roaring, which is what I want in a smaller format.
