Hard to disagree with him on this one - a great cigar indeed!

Cohiba Siglo VI - "best cigar being made in Havana"

 

[Zedman05]

Just picked up a few ... we will see if they are worth keeping around heh. Hopefully they age as well as the VR's I have been mowing through :thumbsup:

I have boxes from '08, '09 and '10 hibernating. I have not smoked one in a long while. Perhaps I'll break one out.

 

[Ravenwood]

Gotta agree. Especially the tubo.

 

[njstone]

I've had 3 ... all good cigars, but not outstanding to me. Maybe I need to get a good one or something?

Problem is these need to age at least 5- 6 years to be getting into the "zone"

That's what I've heard, but I thought that Sucking and those guys only smoke FRESH cigars ... ? So is he rating a fresh Sig VI as the best cigar of the year?

 

[ciggy]

I will say that the Sig VI is in my top 5 of cc's but for the coin Sig IV's are just as tasty!!

This better not cause a shortage. The Siglo VI is my favorite cigar....

Glad I just got a couple of boxes because now people are going to be buying these up.

Best regards, tony

Make it 2 years in a row that I completely disagree with him. Sig VI is my least favorite Cohiba.

never had a fresh one i cared for. never had an aged one. with the amount of super vintage stuff this guy has smoked, i'm a little surprised by this choice.

Mind you I pay no attention to Suckling and view him as a self important clown but I'd work under the impression he's choosing based on recent production available in the shops. How can he really be judging versus Don Candidos etc?

Thought you caused the shortage Art! :bouncetau

You read my mind bro...let's hook up for a smoke soon

I have had a few fresh sig vi's that I've smoked recently and I do enjoy them...but best of 2011 I'm not sure if I agree, but a great smoke it is.

My '08 boxes haven been just ok. Hoping the get better.

Then you have a bad box of 08s....The 08s I have are freaking awesome. But hey if you always MU it how would you know. :stretchgr

I wonder if Suckling still only smokes an inch of the cigars.

I wonder if Suckling still only smokes an inch of the cigars.

In his video in London where he smokes a Reyes and Petit Edmundo, he specifically calls out how smoking 1" is not sufficient. This was one of his first videos after leaving CA.

 

[orangedog]

Recently, I've had 04s and 08s...on the 08s I've had tubos and non. They were all quite good.

I can't believe that people pay to hear that dude talk. Who charges for a BLOG?
