Cohiba – unique cigars

Even the word ‘Cohiba’ is unique, as it is not of Spanish origin but a loanword from the indigenous Taíno people, referring to the wrapping of the tobacco leaves. Many different characteristics make a Cohiba the most exclusive of all Habanos. Firstly, there is the origin of the leaves – they come exclusively from the five finest ‘Vegas de Primera’ in the Vuelta Abajo tobacco-growing region, specifically from the areas of San Juan y Martínez and San Luis. Another unique feature of a Cohiba is the – third – fermentation of two of the three filler leaves; this gives the Cohiba its irresistible aroma and inimitable flavour.

Here’s what Cigar Aficionado has to say

“Smoking this dark, veined Petit Corona is like savouring a strong espresso that lingers on the palate from the first puff right to the end. It burns slowly and coolly, producing dense smoke with hints of black cherry, walnut liqueur and a touch of caramel, although the draw is a little tight. " Cigar Aficionado, 10 October 2023
