Thanks Jeep. I appreciate your kind words. The aging makes a huge difference in a cigar, specially for a well made Habano.

wow rip. another beautiful write up. i can't wait for it to be a cigar i have in my collection so i can see if i taste any of the things you mention. you have a hell of a pallate my friend. just to be able to pick up all those flavors is actually amazing.
Thanks bigharpoon. IMO El Principe is the best cigar in SCDLH'S regular line. It has a unique aged sweetness to it which I cannot find in any other Cuban cigar.
bigharpoon:
Great write-up as usual, Rip. The SCDLH is at the top of my radar as well. I'm looking forward to having some El Principe in the cooler some day, I've read nothing but positive things about them.
Jared, you should smoke one now so you can compare later how it changes in complexity after few years of aging.

I grabbed a box of the Principes last year. Not ready yet but I still enjoy opening the box and smelling it every now and then. And the SCdlH's are really dark usually. Can't wait until they're ready in a few years.
HI Glen, I sincerely appreciate your nice comments. BOTLs like you keeping me motivated smoking and review cigars. I am simply honored to share my reviews though I am not expert in this field. I just share my amateur smoking experience. Thanks again!
phobicsquirrel:
Haven't been on all that much but I'm happy your keeping up the reviews! Very stunning and a true pleasure to keep reading on your experiences. Thanks for keeping all of our butts on the edge of our seats!
LOL...didn't mean to encourage you to break the law. All I can say is life is too short missing out some great Cuban cigars. I won't stop as long as you enjoy reading them. I appreciate your motivational comments...thank you!

I think I will have to start breaking some laws. I drool every time I read one of your reviews. Don't stop.
Very nice Rip! The Siglo VI is one of my favorites and with 3+ years with age, they just fantastic! I'm going to light up a Siglo IV in a few weeks, which has just a bit over 3 years on it and hoping for the same results. I know 5 years, the entire Cohiba line is just fantastic, but storing them that long without lighting them up is hard! Great review again!
thanks rip. i am going to have get me a box of the siglos and stash them away. my problem is being able to let them age without smoking them. i am hoping the more i aquire the more i can let age.
Hi Shawn, Thanks for your nice comments. Well Siglo IV is also a great smoke. I agree 5+ years age transform the Cubans very enjoyable. I also love Siglo IV. My favorite Siglo cigars are IV and VI. For some reason, I do not like Siglo V.

Your welcome Jeep. If you buy a box of Siglo then buy Siglo IV or VI. Well, you have been collecting a lot lately. This way you will have enough to smoke now and allow to rest 75% for the future.

Both are very good but I will keep Siglo VI ahead in terms of complexity and finish. Please don't get me wrong, I still love Siglo IV. I have smoked the entire line and prefer IV or VI only.

How would you compare this with the 4? I had the 4 and thought it was good but worth the price... eh, it's hard to say.

Good deal. Yeah I have a few 4's and was eying some 6's a while back. Ordered some behikes instead though. Have to wait a while. The wife hate's when I drop so many bones on cigars since I have so many of them. I keep telling her, hey, I have cigars with over 10 years on them and it's more like an investment!
Glen, just want to repeat my statement from the Dabidoff thread. Few people can wait 10 years on certain cigar but in your case you can. I would say go for a box of Cohiba 1966 not Behike. If you wait five years you will be a big winner. Cohiba 1966 cigars will be out of stock soon. This is a one time release cigar.

I was wondering what this would end up like given the ligero and Yamasa fillers. Now I need a box damnit... I'm a big fan of Churchill DC size as well.
