JR Cohiba Siglo IV Replica

So I passed by JRs on my way to ATL and I decided I was gonna try some of their replica sticks. I had recently gotten their catalog and it, obviously, spoke very highly of their house blends. They made comparisons to just about all the Cuban lines. I grabbed the Cohiba siglo IV and Monte #2. Half way through this sig IV, I'm not sure how they can remotely compare the two. It's by no means a bad cigar. Construction is good, flavor is ok....but it's not at all close to a Cohiba. It's more woodsy, and has a bit of a harsh bite to it. No creamy deliciousness that I associate with the cohiba line. I fully understand that I paid $2.75 for this cigar, so I recognize I'm not getting the best smoke in the world. If they didn't advertise it as a replacement, I'd say it's a good cheap smoke depending on your taste preferences. All in all, I don't think I'd buy this one again. It's very one dimensional for me. Even at this price, I find it lacking.
