Cohiba Medio Siglo Cigar - Cabinet of 25

Date Added: Friday 21 November, 2025 by Richard

The Cohiba Medio Siglo is one of those cigars that reminds you exactly why Cohiba sits at the top of the Cuban hierarchy. Even as someone still steadily building my experience, this cigar immediately felt like a masterclass in refinement. The short, stout format makes it approachable, but the flavor profile is pure Cohiba sophistication. On the cold draw, I picked up clean cedar, a touch of grassiness, and that unmistakable Cohiba creaminess lying underneath.

Once lit, the Medio Siglo opened beautifully with smooth, velvety smoke. The first third gave me notes of honey, soft spice, and sweet hay—balanced, rounded, and elegant. As the cigar progressed, the flavors deepened into richer tones of toasted nuts, light cocoa, and warm earth, all carried by a consistently silky texture. The construction was flawless: tight seams, perfect draw, razor-straight burn line.

What impressed me most was how balanced it stayed from start to finish. It never pushed too hard, never lost its composure. Everything felt deliberate and controlled. For a relatively short smoke, it delivers complexity and depth that many longer cigars can’t match.

The Medio Siglo is smooth, creamy, aromatic, and unmistakably Cohiba.
