COHIBA

Cohiba is the flagship brand of Habanos. 

It was created in 1966 for President Fidel Castro himself and was made at the then top secret, but now world famous, El LLaguito factory. At first, it was only seen outside Cuba as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats. 

Since 1982 Cohiba has been available in limited quantities to the open market. 

The name is an ancient Taino Indian word for the bunches of tobacco leaves that Columbus first saw being smoked by the original inhabitants of Cuba - the earliest known form of a Habano. 

The leaves for Cohiba are the "selection of selection" from the 5 finest Vegas de Primera in San Juan y Martinez and San Luis districts of the Vuelta Abajo zone. 

Uniquely amongst Habanos up to three of Cohiba's filler leaves , the seco, ligero and the rare medio tiempo, undergo an additional fermentation in barrels. This unique process produces a special aroma and flavour you will only find in Cohiba. 

LINEA 1492 - SIGLO I

The Cohiba Línea 1492 range was first announced at a reception at the Captain General's Palace in Havana on 4th November 1992, which took place during a Festival held to celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus.  

The Linea 1492, originally consisting of five sizes - Siglo I, II, III, IV and V before the VI was introduced in 2002, were expressly introduced to mark Columbus's 500th Anniversary and each Siglo (which means 'Century' in Spanish) commemorates one the five subsequent centuries.  

The Linea 1492 is classified as medium flavoured and remains the lightest flavoured line of Cohibas.

Please note: Matches not included. 

Tasting Notes

 

91 / 100

"The reddish, colorado wrapper and neat triple cap make this a charming cigar to behold. The draw is open and even, as is the burn, showing a big steeped saffron note that ushers in additional layers of brioche, leather and white pepper before the floral, cedary finish..."

Certainly very well made. As others have said, the draw is very tight in comparison to other cigars. A very smooth smoke, with a nice oily/nut finish. I have to say its a little uninspiring if youre used to bold flavours, but the lingering aftertaste is very pleasant.

I tried this after enjoying the siglo 2 very much. At first it was a very tight draw but it opened up enough to be relaxing. A lovely taste throughout, it only lasted 40 minutes though. Definitely prefer the siglo 2 but I guess thatÂ’s what you pay more for

A fine cigar smooth with a creamy finish. The price has gone from £74.99 for a pack 5 two years ago to £134.99 and at that price Im out will look for a similar cheaper new world cigar.

Great cigar having smoked a couple before, unfortunately this one had a very tight draw & started to unravel Through the 1st Third

Thought Cohiba was overrated as a brand but this Cigar was fantastic. Cuban twang. Wood and pepper notes throughout. Excellent burn and smoke output. I do like a transitional cigar, which this is not, but I expected this due to how small the cigar is. I would recommend it.
