CubanExperienced smokersCohiba Siglo IV
Many smokers' favorite Siglo — a Corona Gorda that adds body and richness to the Línea 1492's classic, refined Cohiba character.
The short answer
The Cohiba Siglo IV is a richer, medium-to-full smoke — a Cuban corona gorda with a Cuban wrapper. Expect cedar, coffee, and cream.
The verdict
The Cohiba Siglo IV is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Cohiba's Línea 1492 line. It's a Cuban corona gorda wrapped in Cuban at 5.6 in × 46.
On the palate, expect cedar, coffee, and cream, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 55 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, aged rum, and cognac. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Siglo IV is a Corona Gorda and, for a lot of Cohiba fans, the pick of the Línea 1492 litter. The jump to a 46 ring gauge gives it noticeably more body and depth than the slimmer Siglos below it, while still keeping the line's signature elegance. It's a frequent favorite for good reason.
What it tastes like
This is where the Siglo line starts to flex. Expect a medium-to-full smoke with cedar, coffee, and cream, a rounded honeyed sweetness, and a gentle spice that builds as you go. It's richer and more substantial than the Siglo II or III, but still smooth and balanced rather than aggressive.
Who it's for
A great choice for smokers who've moved past mild cigars and want something with more presence from the Cohiba lineup. It shines after a meal with an espresso, an aged rum, or a cognac.
