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. 

Cohiba encompasses four different ‘Líneas’ or Lines: Línea Clásica, Línea 1492, Línea Maduro 5 and finally the Línea Behike range.

Through such constant innovation, Cohiba has held its position at the leading edge of the cigar world. It was also the first Havana brand to offer a Reserva cigar in 2002 and a Gran Reserva in 2009 made with tobaccos specially aged for a minimum of three and five years respectively.

All Cohiba sizes are ‘totalmente a mano, tripa larga’, – long filler, totally handmade.

ROBUSTO

The cigar that sparked the Robusto revolution from 1989 onwards and remains firmly in the vanguard of this important vitola. Rich, deep, spicy and not to be missed!

Tasting Notes

As a result of its strength and excellent blend this cigar has become one of the nine true Robustos. One of the most demanded Havanas in the market, a true gem.

----

94 / 100

"A dark robusto whose hearty core of spice and earth is beautifully accented by notes of nutmeg and cinnamon that intensify and harmonize on the finish to a very satisfying effect..."

So, had one last night.Now of the firm opinion that the Cohiba brand is being supplied and supposedly enjoyed on its reputation alone. I believe this is a scandal and the powers that be need to speedily rectify this, as there are still many out there who will happily smoke rubbish, as long as it has a black and yellow band. Trying to avoid the vast fake market is a headache in itself, but having the fear, that I have, that a thirty pound stick will probably not satisfy, has led me away from the brand I loved so much. Appearance, reasonable, thus pulling me in. Burn poor. Construction poor, draw difficult.Taste, nothing special. Was glad to finish it quickly, to get on to a partagas or Upmann. Actually, the same story last week with a Medio Siglo. Consistency in mediocrity. Avoid Cohibas, please.

Well what a disappointment! I had been saving this for a special occasion as this was so far my most expensive single cigar purchase. So I saved it for my Silver Wedding Anniversary. Unfortunately the big day/night it was impossible to draw. I tried everything - it lit, but nothing was coming through, it was impossibly tight. So I put it out and picked up a Partagas D instead. The next day I went back to my Cohiba and after some very careful poking with a cocktail stick I managed to get some flow - but it was burnt tasting and bitter - so I had to throw it away. By far my worst cigar experience - I have a Cohiba Siglo II to try so I am hoping that will give me an idea of what the fuss is about, but this Robustos was un-smokable.

A little underwhelming actually. A present. Not a brilliant draw and very insipid, virtually no discernible taste or flavour and halfway through. Maybe this is not a good one, though for £27... I have been smoking Regius though, so maybe these are meant to be light??

I bought this cigar as part of the Cuban Robusto Taster pack, and was my 3rd in said pack. As a newbie to cigar smoking, I was looking forward to this one, being arguably the best Cuban brand. It didnt disappoint. What a beauty. A smooth, even draw, plenty of smoke, but probably a bit strong for me. Another thing I really enjoyed (with a smile on my face), was the fact that I might not be able to afford a huge house, Aston Martin etc. But a working class Northerner can smoke some of the best cigars in the world...just like Winston.
