Pyre
Back with a vengeance
Box Code: KMM JUL04
I had not planned on writing a review for this, but I found the experience so enjoyable that I had to share.
Friday night I packed up my car and began to prepare for the 45 minute drive I make nearly every weekend. I enjoy my commute, it gives me time to smoke a cigar. For this trip, I picked out something nice. Its getting close to Christmas, so I decided I'd try one of my Siglo 4's that have been resting in my humidor for the past couple of months.
I've had a few other cohibas, and I know that smoking a young cohiba is almost a waste. This one was to be my first judge of how they were aging.
The inital few puffs were rough, very spicy, full of nicotine and a little harsh. I was afraid that they were still too young, but it was lit, and I was gonna smoke it.
After having burned maybe 1/4 of an inch of cigar, this smoke came alive. The taste was simply outstanding. I distinctly remember tastes of caramel, a little bit of cedar, and every now and then I got a vanilla flavor. The underlying flavor was very smooth, medium-full, and just a bit of spice. The familiar "twang" was present, but not overpowering.
I had to touch it up twice, both times after ashing.
This cigar was so good, that I had to slow down (driving) to 60 MPH, otherwise I'd arrive too early and have cigar to waste. The trip transformed itself from a mundane commute to a wonderful escape from stress, worries, work, and real life complications.
Simply put, this was one of THE BEST cigars I have ever had. I can't wait to have another.

For a time I had my favorites in the Siglo line but I finally decided they're all great. I probably smoke more V's then any of the others but mostly because I love the Dalias size and it's the only Dalias I like. The Siglos also tend to smoke much better young then the standard line.
