History of COHIBA

In 1492, during Columbus's first voyage to the "new world", he visited the island of Cuba. His sailors were introduced to "Cohíba" by the island natives, a bunch of dried leaves that were smoked in a pipe called a "Tobacco". In 1982, 3 types of Cohíba Cuban cigars were introduced to non-diplomats: the Lanceros, the Coronas Especiales and the Panetelas. 3 more vitolas were added to the brand in 1989: the Espléndidos, the Robustos and the Exquisitos, completing what is known as "La Línea Clásica". 5 more vitolas were added in 1992 creating the "Linea 1492": the Siglo I, II, III, IV and V. Cohíba remains the "King of the Cubans". Only the finest tobacco leaves are used to create the various types of Cohíba cigars. A distinct bean taste has been attributed to Cohíbas, however I would say the common factor amongst the Cohíba family is the strong nature of all the cigars. This is not a beginners brand.

  • Ring Gauge: 52
  • Cigar length: 156 mm / 6.14'
  • Vitola: Torpedo

I just found half a jar of these beauties. Released in 1999 in 10’000 jars of 25 cigars to celebrate the turn of the Millennium, there can be no more prestigious Cuban cigars around than these. Produced at the famous El Laguito factory in Havana, this cigar is THE example of balance. The Cohiba flavours have mellowed but are still present in the smoke. The wrapper is a thing of beauty, with a dark, reddish tinge to it and a surprising amount of oil considering their age. I have got singles to sample, so if you really want to taste the best that Habanos has to offer, here is your chance!
