Habanos Critic Review: Cohiba Siglo V (2005)

In 1992, Habanos S.A. celebrated 500 years since the arrival of Christopher Columbus in Cuba, and with that celebration, they released the Linea 1492 Series. The Habanos would not actually be released to the market until 1994, but for those 500 years, they had five releases in place. They ranged from Siglo 1 to Siglo V, and they were releases the increased in length as they increased in numbers. They added a sixth, and the most well known of the Siglos in 2002, the Siglo VI, and what makes it odd was that they broke away from the tradition of having a release for every hundred years. The next release due would technically be in 2092, and if that happened I would be thoroughly impressed. We'd all be dead by then, but you never know. Anyways, we have covered the Siglo IV and Siglo VI, and today I cover a Siglo V. What makes this review great though is that it is not a recently released Siglo, bearing the new band, but rather a 10 year smoke from 2005.
