The Cohiba Siglo V approaches perfection in both appearance and tactile quality, matched by a remarkable palate that easily upholds its previous high rating. The cold draw offers intriguing notes of forest floor, mushrooms, and a subtle hint of leather, setting the tone for a rich experience.
The initial phase is gentle and well-balanced, marked by smooth woody nuances. Flawless draw and combustion enhance the refined presentation, though the overall sensation can be slightly drying.
As the cigar progresses into the second third, it becomes rounder and richer, with smoke gaining a creamy texture. Spices gracefully intertwine with wood, while strength builds steadily yet remains perfectly controlled.
The final third delivers a harmonious and powerful finish, with flavors of toasted hazelnuts and a delicate vanilla touch. The Cohiba Siglo V is a beautifully complex cigar that rewards the patient smoker with depth and elegance.
