Siglo IV Limited Reserve Robusto

Threadjack: It will be a mess, but maybe not as big a mess as predicted. Altadis owns the rights to a lot of the NCs with Cuban names -- Montecristo, San Luis Rey, H Upmann, Trinidad, RyJ, Por Larranaga, etc. -- and it also owns 50% of Habanos. If the embargo is ever lifted, I'd expect that they'll work something out.

Where it gets interesting will be the NC brands owned by General Cigar -- Cohiba, Partagas, Punch, HdM, Bolivar, LGC, Sancho Panza, etc. There will certainly be a fight over the rights to those names in the US. In fact, there already has been a fight, and a couple of years ago General Cigar won a court ruling that it (and not Cubatabaco) has rights to the Cohiba name in the US.

I figure I can resurrect this thread since I just had one of these. I have to say that it is not a bad cigar at all. Burn was awesome, ash held on a real long time, construction was very good and the taste was real good. I will smoke another one
