Siglo Maduro VI Review

Wrapper: San Andres Morron

Filler: Dominican and Nicaraguan

Price: $6.00 - $7.00

Over the past couple months, I became a fan of the Siglo brand, but never came across the Maduro line. So about a month ago, I found a cigar shop in a small shopping center that I had never been to before. From the outside, I didn’t expect to find much. Once I walked in, there was a fantastic selection of cigars. Along the back wall I spotted a box of these, with only a few left. So naturally I had to grab some to try out.

The dark brown wrapper is very smooth and oily. There are no thick veins throughout the wrapper either. The cap is perfectly flush with the wrapper, as well as being the exact same shade. This stick is very solid with a softer, box-pressed foot. This stick gave off an odd aroma, almost smelled like dried fruit. The cut was very clean, and was very easy to light.

Upon lighting this cigar, the flavors were very earthy and woody. There was a mild spice that formed about an inch into the stick. Shortly after the spice comes into play, a powerful black coffee flavor builds. Throughout the remainder of the first third, the black coffee and earthy flavors were strong and prominent.

Siglo VI Review

Wrapper: Ecuadorian-grown Cubano

Filler: Honduran and Nicaraguan

Price: $6.00 - $7.00

A couple months ago I stumbled upon a couple of boxes of these in a cigar shop near where I went to college. The reason I stopped in was because it was on the way to a wedding I had to go to. These grabbed my attention because of the bright yellow box they come in. They were towards the front door, so they were right there to be seen. That night I smoked one at the wedding, and thought the cigar was amazing. So on my way home the next day, I stopped back in that shop and grabbed a few more. I saved this one to do a review on.

The wrapper is a nice chocolate brown color. The cap was actually a little bit darker than the rest of the cigar. Other that little oddity, the rest of the construction was flawless. There was one little water spot, but that really isn’t a huge deal. There were no thick veins throughout the entire wrapper. The cigar itself was very solid. The foot was a little softer than the rest of the cigar, but that just makes it easier to light. The cut was very clean with no splits or peeling. And there was a nice sweet smell coming off of this cigar.
