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 II

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. 

• Opens with light cedar, vanilla, and mild citrus

• Mid-section develops notes of toasted almond, honey, and white pepper

• Finish brings cocoa, floral hints, and gentle spice

Though this Petit Corona format resembles those of its kind it has it's own character. With greater lightness, freshness and richness of flavours this will definitely tempt the nature of those who find Cohibas too strong.

92 / 100

"An undercurrent of ground pepper adds some piquancy to this petit corona, which draws well but has a slightly uneven burn. Notes of leather and orange peel gain intensity as the cigar progresses..."

Cohiba encompasses four different 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.

The Cohiba Siglo II is regularly listed among the best medium-bodied Cuban cigars in its size. Highly regarded by aficionados for its balance, smooth transitions, and superb construction. A go-to choice for those seeking accessible luxury in the Cohiba range.
