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..."

Easily the smoothest and most relaxed cigar I’ve ever enjoyed. This is a cigar to enjoy after dinner alone or as the sun goes down. I smoked it late at night under the stars and couldn’t believe just how relaxing and soft it was. Makes you wonder just what it must be like to hold those other more expensive cigars between your fingers! Will definitely keep ordering. Also, have to say the delivery was very fast and the packaging was excellent. Can not recommend enough.

Not a bad little cigar at all. It lasts longer than you might expect for a cigar of this size. Not the smoothest smoke in the world, but burned well and was enjoyable. I would buy again.

Undoubtedly my now personal short smoke of choice. Very well built and comes in a beautiful little tube. Today was my second time trying these. It's a lazy Sunday morning and a little taste of Cohiba magic was perfect for a lazy hour's worth of coffee drinking and internet surfing. The first 3rd starts out wonderfully with all the wonderfull mysterious aromas and smells that are so unique to Cohiba tobacco. This is a cigar with interesting complexities that are never to overbearing. I found the draw perfect and although I did have to relight after the second 3rd I was not too concerned (I only get frustrated at the second relighting). A bit more pricey than the other players in this size range but well worth it.

OOOOOOO K, so, I've just finished off my first Cohiba, the Siglo 1, picked it up from my local convenience/tobacco shop for 16 quid, I've been an occaisional cigar smoker and have usually stuck by the H.Upmanns simply because that's where I started and am a creature of habit, lately I have been venturing out into other brands and of course the Cohiba brand is extremely attractive as it has such a good name so when I saw this I thought why not.....at £16 from the shop and here at £12 I can 100% say that I was actually dissapointed! The cigar scent and look before lighting was absolute heaven but when lit it all went sideways, a very tight draw firstly made it a little hard work but the flavours were good, then it died, and died again, I think I had to relight this chap at least four times which completely ruined it for me, especially as its only a little fellow! I stayed with it in the hope that suddenly something wonderful will happen! It did'nt, I have'nt reviewed before but I feel bummed out as I was very much looking forward to it and had no time to actually enjoy the flavours as it was so much work! I'm guessing I had a bad stick, but given the price and the name I simply expected it at least to stay lit! Over this Id fully recommend the R&J #3 any day, much better price and as yet not had an even slightly dissapointing smoke! Sorry guys, had to be said! Gutted!

The Summer is fast approaching and will soon be time for out door herfing, I would highly recommend the Cohiba Siglo I for any such occasion it is a superb small forty or so minutes cigar with lots of spicy coffee bean taste with an excellent draw and a great aroma I have had nothing but compliments from guys wanting to know what i am smoking, if you buy the tubos version the tube is a work of art and you can recycle the tube(s) when you order the cheaper cardboard box version. PS thanks for the compliment Tim and commend your choice of cigar certainly starting at the top perhaps will try one day when i win the lottery :-).
