Cohiba Linea 1492 Siglo III

Among the fine cigars such as the Cohiba Lancero, Trinidad Fundadores and Cohiba Siglo V, the Cohiba Siglo III is a particularly elegant choice. Its slim shape fits well in the hands of a cigar lady or a gentleman who is not looking for a large cigar. With a flawless wrapper and excellent workmanship, it offers a pleasant draw and an even burn. The Siglo III develops slowly over its 155 millimetre length, with a subtle fruitiness, fine cedar wood notes and roasted nuts. In the finish, it shows more spice and a fine, pleasant bitterness. Lively and easy to smoke, it is a pleasure for connoisseurs.

Cohiba - a super premium brand

Even the term Cohiba is unique, as it is not a word of Spanish origin, but a loan word from the indigenous Taíno Indians and refers to the wrapping of the tobacco leaves. Many different characteristics make a Cohiba cigar the most exclusive of Habanos. Firstly, there is the origin of the leaves - they come exclusively from the five best Vegas de Primera from the Vuelta Abajo tobacco-growing region, specifically from the San Juan y Martínez and San Luis areas. Another unique feature for a Cohiba is the - third - fermentation of two of the three filler leaves - this gives the Cohiba its irresistible aroma and inimitable flavour.

What Cigar Aficionado says about it

" Notes of oatmeal and almond biscuits make it through the firm draw of this pale-looking Corona, but the finish is overwhelmingly woody. " Cigar Aficionado, 01/04/2022
