In 2016 Cohiba celebrated its 50th Anniversary a new size (viltola) would be added to the La Linea 1492 range. The new cigar was christened the Medio Siglo.
Deep, rich, generous and with a strength greater than it might seem at first. One of the ten best Habanos of the size range.
This is a cigar that will challenge even the most experienced palates, with its sophisticated aromas of crushed pepper, dark chocolate and even a ribbon of licorice at times. The 5 years of careful aging lends elegance and depth to the smoke.
The Piramides Extra are made with some medio tiempo tobacco, which grows at the top of some, but not all plants, and was used famously in the Cohiba Behike BHK line.
The Cohiba Exquisitos is a very nice little cigar draped in a fine, shiny wrapper, perfectly stretched. The touch is supple and dense. The aromas evolve on woody/herbaceous touches with some nuances of liquorice.
The prince of its format Not in vain, before the Cohiba brand was marketed, this was the emblematic Habano which the Government of Republic of Cuba used as an official state present for its guests.
