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 IV

The Cohiba Línea 1492 range was first announced at a reception at the Captain General's Palace in Havana on 4^th November 1992, which took place during a Festival held to celebrate the 500^th 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 500^th 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.

Very classy cigar, excellent draw and great construction. This cigar gets very tasty toward the end. The Cohiba Siglo IV will make an hour and a half fly past!

91 / 100

"Topped with a triple-seam cap, this reddish-brown corona gorda burns quite evenly. It produces a creamy smoke that layers the palate with sweet tones of salted caramel, nougat, honeyed nuts and dried cherry, culminating in a sweet finish. There is slight resistance to the draw..."
