If I smoked a Cohiba Sigulo VI….

I’m not sure how many of you read OJ Simpson’s book “If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer” I didn’t, but the title gave me an idea. Instead of doing an official review of a Cuban cigar, I could do a “hypothetical” review. That way I’m not admitting that I actually smoked such a cigar, but I get to communicate my thoughts regarding such a cigar to you–assuming I did smoke one.
If I smoked a Cohiba Sigulo VI, for example, the review would go something like this:
COHIBA SIGULO VI - Toro (6 x 50)
“What an amazing smoke. Next to the Montecristo No. 2, this is easily the best Cuban cigar I’ve ever smoked. The draw is perfect, the taste is amazing, the depth is unsurpassed. That’s not to say it’s perfect. It smokes a little fast, for instance, and burns a little unevenly. Nevertheless, this cigar embodies the classic “Cuban” flavor like no other. If I could switch off between these and Padron 1964, there would be no need for anything else. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.”
Hypothetical Rating: 9 
Or I would, if I were doing a review of the Sigulo VI. Sadly, our government (at least for now), refuses to allow us Americans to buy these cigars or even smoke them in foreign countries. I express no opinion on the merits of the government’s decision, except for this pithy insight: I don’t really think Cuba is that much of a threat anymore, now that Russia is gone–and has been for almost 20 years. We won. Time to leave the cold war behind us.
Enough said, no politics, etc. (Actually, I think the embargo helps keep Cuban cigars so good because it decreases demand and ensures higher quality production).
Not that I’ve ever smoked one…. If you have, let us know what you think. I’m dying to find out whether they are really better than Dominicans or Nicaraguans.

Pure comedy. IF I did it
