Cohiba Siglo II launched in 1992 as part of the LĂnea 1492, released to mark the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s arrival in Cuba, and it’s stayed one of the brand’s most approachable sizes ever since. It’s a Petit Corona, the same size class as icons like the Montecristo No. 4, giving it a familiar reference point for anyone new to Cuban cigars.

Is Cohiba Siglo II a Good Starting Point for Beginners?
Cohiba Siglo II is widely considered the ideal introduction to the brand, offering the same filler blend and third-fermentation process as Cohiba’s larger cigars in a smaller, more approachable Petit Corona size. Its medium strength and roughly 40-minute smoke time make it manageable for someone newer to cigars without losing any of the brand’s character.
Once you’ve tried Siglo II, Cohiba Siglo IV is a natural next step up in size and intensity.

What Does Cohiba Siglo II Taste Like?
Cohiba Siglo II delivers a spicy, creamy character with a bright freshness, carrying notes of grass, honey, citrus, and cream that build as the cigar burns. It stays balanced and smooth throughout, which is part of why it’s held up as a consistently outstanding smoke since its 1992 release.
The flavor stays approachable without turning one-note, which is exactly what makes it a solid comparison point before trying Cohiba Siglo VI.
How to Enjoy Cohiba Siglo II
Cut just above the cap with a sharp guillotine cutter, then light evenly around the foot before drawing slowly. A gentle light matters here since the bright, spicy notes can turn harsh if the cigar is lit too aggressively.
Store it in a humidor at 65-70% relative humidity beforehand. Cohiba Siglo II pairs well with a glass of red wine or a fine scotch if you’re settling in for the full 40 minutes.
