Description
Cohiba Siglo I
The Cohiba Siglo I is a rather modest in statute cigar yet rewarding in taste as it fits perfectly before a meal or serves as a pleasurable traveling companion. A smart little smoke, relatively light by Cohiba's standards, but not short on flavour by any means. The Siglo line has permitted the Cohiba brand name to pass from tradition to modernity. Cohiba Siglo I fits the bill wonderfully when time is not necessarily an issue.
