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 VI

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

Launched to commemorate 10 years of the Siglo range. This unusually big format cigar makes it possible to appreciate the aroma and taste of the Linea 1492 with complete intensity. A must try for any serious cigar aficionado.

----

"A tawny-hued toro with an excellent draw and even burn. Initial grassiness dissipates for a warmer, toasty smoke of cinnamon, nutmeg, liquorice and baking spices with a woody undertone..."

I have smoked many a cigar and love most of these but some of these stand out and need a story to be told. Let me compare this cigar, if it this is at all possible with some others. Until last year my favourite smoke used to be R&J Churchill and MC #2. Those are very fine cigars indeed with the former being milder and smoother than the MC. The problem with MC however for me has been the inconsistent finish of the cigars. Out of the two of my last boxes of 25 I was unable to smoke at least 15% of them as they were made too tight. However if you get a good one they are one of my favourite torpedo cigars with a full flavour. Having written about two cigars let me now come to this very one. It is the finest I have ever smoked. The build quality is excellent and all the cigars have burnt well with a nice draw to them. The smoke is smooth yet strong but not overwhelmingly so. My other recent cigar of choice is the Esplendidos and these two are similar yet the latter is smoked when I need a little more strength in a cigar. I know that it is on the expensive side but I rather buy a box of these and know that each one will be as good as the last one than buy a cheaper box to get inconsistent or unsmokable cigars. Nothing ruins an evening more than taking a cigar out and not being able to smoke the thing. Regards Rahul written by Rahul Sharma
