COHIBA

As part of Cohiba’s 50th anniversary celebrations, a new vitola was introduced to their La Linea 1492 range called Medio Siglo.

Medio Siglo (translating to half century) is the first new vitola to join the Siglo series since the addition of the Siglo VI in 2002.

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. 

Tasting Notes

93 / 100

"Golden brown in colour, this well-constructed short robusto is topped with a flat head and triple-seam cap. First puffs are a bit grassy but quickly reveal a richly layered smoke of almond, coffee bean, oak, vanilla and rum, culminating in a walnut finish. The draw and combustion are open and even..."

what the hell is going on. I bought a pack of these a few months ago and was really looking forward to smoking them. All 3 cigars had impossibly tight draws and what smoke I could get through was very bitter. I dont blame cgars totally but I do think that cuban cigars in general are becoming very second rate and very expensive. I dont think these cigars are worth any money what so ever.

Very new to cigars, but have to say this was one the most enjoyable smokes Ive had...ever!

This is a nice cigar, there’s no bones about it, however, I’m struggling to justify the price tag. At £28 a pop, I can buy 3 or 4 really nice new world cigars, or cheaper Cubans. I didn’t feel that this was £20 better than some of the £8 per stick ones I’ve had. I had a box of Siglo Vs and thought the same, maybe from now on I will just stick to the mid rangers as I obviously (despite smoking cigars for 10 years now) haven’t got a refined enough palate to tell the difference. On a tasting note, this cigar was spicy, with lovely earthiness and robust flavour. I found the draw a little too hard, the same with other Cohibas, some are good and some try your patience. Get one and try it, you won’t be disappointed, just poorer...

Just about the perfect size and at 45/50 min provides perfect enjoyment time as well. All told a very decent cigar. Well constructed, these draw and burn well. Medium strength, offering well-rounded flavours which develop and strengthen as you go along. Consistent Cohiba quality but never boring. Given the price point these are very obviously not going to be an everyday smoke (well, for me anyway), but certainly one to return to time and again. Well worth keeping a couple (or more) in the box for those ‘me time’ moments...
