Cohiba Linea 1492 Siglo IV Tubos

The Cohiba Siglo IV Tubos is a classic from the Linea 1942 series of the super premium brand Cohiba and should not be missing in any well-stocked humidor. The flawless wrapper and excellent workmanship speak for themselves. The Cohiba Siglo 4 smells of cedar wood and tea, the first puffs are soft and creamy with a slight sweetness. As one of the best Cuban cigars and with triple-fermented filler tobaccos, it is elegant and balanced in flavour. This Corona Gorda is characterised by a slight sweetness and a consistently fine spicy base note, which can be smoked well past the yellow-black cigar ring.

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 wrapper 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.

Packed in a beautiful tubos

The Cohiba Linea 1492 Siglo IV Tubos is packaged in a beautiful tubos. This not only looks good, it also protects the cigar from mechanical damage and preserves the climate.

What Cigar Aficionado says about it

"This is a sweet and salty medium-bodied cigar that offers a chewy, meaty smoke, cocoa bean flavour and some spice on the finish." Cigar Aficionado, 01.08.2010
