Cohiba Siglo I
The Cohiba Siglo I is a value-priced Cohiba cigar delivering a classic Cuban experience. It receives rave reviews all around the world, especially from people who are new to cigars. This Petit Corona delivers one hour of smoking bliss and is a great bridge cigar for people seeking an inexpensive way to upgrade their game.
Cohiba Siglo I Overview
This is a ring size 40 Petit Corona that was first manufactured in 1992 in honor of the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus arriving in the Americas. Its 102 mm (4”) length uses a Colorado wrapper and is entirely made of Cuban-grown tobacco.
It is neither the thinnest nor the thickest of the Cohiba cigars available today, but it is the thinnest and shortest of the Siglo series. Most of the rest of the Siglo series are only a 42 or 43 ring gauge, so the difference in thickness is minimal.
Smoking a Cohiba Siglo I
A Cohiba Siglo I is not made with the most premium tobacco. Construction methods are cheaper than other Cohibas and there’s not such an incredible attention to detail. This creates a cigar that is sold at a lower, less-exclusive price point. And it’s still a Cohiba, an expertly crafted cigar.
The medium-to-full flavors provide a complex and balanced smoking experience that can be enjoyed by novices and experienced smokers alike.
Cohiba siglo i Size and Construction
As their name implies, Petit Coronas are smaller than most, but they can still feel substantial and burn for a long time. You can smoke this stick for over an hour thanks to its quality construction and high-quality tobacco.
The draw is a notch tighter than most cigars and this helps it burn more evenly. Like all Cohibas, the cigar is wrapped tightly and securely, with no soft or uneven spots.
Flavors and Undertones
The cigar starts with a big tobacco flavor, slowly rounded out by roasted nut, spice, and caramel undertones. The smoke is medium and the tobacco burns evenly. The flavor becomes more mild through the second and last third, with more emphasis on wood and hay undertones, but with little-to-no additional bitterness.
Although the smoke becomes fuller and richer during the final third, this is definitely not the most full-bodied Cohiba available. It is a great option for connoisseurs who want a cigar to smoke later in their smoke session, after they have already enjoyed a mild or medium-bodied option.
Cigar Value
Cohiba is an excellent cigar brand. Many find their cigars a little on the expensive side. The Siglo series is one of their more value-priced options, but they can still be aged for an even better experience.
The Siglo I is the lowest-priced of all, but it still gives you a chance to experience the quality of the Cohiba brand. It’s not going to entertain aficionados for many years to come, but is a fantastic bridge cigar for anyone seeking to up their game.
Cohiba Siglo I Experience
Cohiba fans and novice smokers alike should make sure to try this inexpensive and beautifully flavored cigar. Its quality filler and wrap make it easy to enjoy, and its price is low enough to allow you to share with friends.
Expect to enjoy medium-to-full wood and tobacco flavors with spiced undertones.

I recently purchased my first order of cuban cigars since the closing of tourism to cuba form the US. The delivery time has been very long due to the pandemic.

I received the box of 25 that are individually packed in single cartons. Took a few extra days because of the pandemic to arrive to the states so I gave them a few weeks to rest. Having a box date of a just over a year, they smoked well and had a nice Cohiba taste. A Cohiba taste that allows for beginners wanting an intro to Cuban Cigars or for the experienced aficionado needing a quality smoke and not too much time. For a vitola that size it gives a 35-45 minute smoke and the final third is really tasty. Earth, cream, hay and a sweet toasted caramel, yes complex and smooth with a Cohiba taste that gives you a delicious retrohale. Only time will perfect an already outstanding Puro. As always customer service was on point and shipped within 2 days.

The cigars are fantastic as usual. I like keeping a medium stock of Cuban cigars and this company does it very well. The COVID situation makes shopping somewhat difficult but Luxury Cubans has been excellent in responding to emails. Customer service is great.

The cigar came in a stogies humidity pack and was very well wrapped.
Humidity reading was around 72 rh when it arrived.
Aging it now and bringing the humidity down to 69 for that perfect smoking experience.

A great small cigar for when you don’t have a lot of time, but everything you’d expect from a Cohiba.
