This makes them one of the best cigars for a wide range of smokers.Â
Cohiba Siglo II – Cuban Cigars
The Cohiba Siglo II reigns supreme when it comes to a petite corona size. Although the Cohiba Siglo IIs use the same tobacco as previsions Cohiba Cuban cigars. The size of the Cohiba Siglo II makes it a bit more mellow in terms of taste. Starting out soft with light notes of flavors similar to cedar and coffee. You’ll soon find yourself enjoying a balanced flavor profile as it smokes. At this point, you’ll notice hints of cocoa, coffee, and vanilla. For a small smoke, the Cuban Cohiba Siglo II is known for burning slowly and straight for the entirety of its use.

Cohiba Club – Cuban Cigars
If you have no more than 15 minutes or so to yourself, there are few better choices for a quick smoke than the Cohiba Clubs. The aroma of the cigarillos inside of the packaging is an organic, barnyard-type smell mixed with sweet milk chocolate undertones.
It should be noted that, in terms of flavor, these cigars can be a little inconsistent. While some pack a deep-roasted tobacco flavor and contain a kick of almonds and intermittent grass notes. Others will taste of little out of the ordinary. If you are someone who can’t afford the pricier premium cuban cigars, the Cohiba Clubs are perfect for you.
