Tasting:
We are surprised by this exceptional Puros. No doubt, the Siglo IV is classified
among the greatest Corona Gorda. Amateurs of this shape didn't expect that the
Cubans are able to produce a cigar comparable to the Punch Super Selection N°2,
Cohiba master blenders did it.
Before lighting up:Honey notes combined to a humid
and floral spiciness. We noticed an exceptional oily sheen.
Burning: Rich and
complex aromas. Honey notes combined to a particular mild spiciness, with rare
aromas reminding a humid Cuban cedar. This cigar is rich and powerful, it has a
perfect size offering lot of aromas without being aggressive.
The final: The Siglo IV is an
excellent Corona Gorda for connoisseurs and experts. Its proportions seem to call
for night time, the moment of final relaxation just before falling asleep. In the smooth
warmth of its company, it is much easier to be tolerant of the day’s past events and
make the best plans for tomorrow. It has the human quality of old friends, those who
never forsake one.
