The Cohiba Siglo I is a true expression of Cuban heritage and mastery. Introduced as part of the Cohiba Línea 1492 range, the Siglo I commemorates the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World and the discovery of tobacco – a leaf that would become synonymous with Cuban excellence. Compact yet deeply satisfying, this cigar encapsulates the artistry that defines the Cohiba name.
First created in 1966 for President Fidel Castro, Cohiba cigars were initially reserved as diplomatic gifts for world leaders and visiting dignitaries. Production took place at the legendary El Laguito factory in Havana – a facility renowned for its meticulous standards, skilled torcedores, and unique triple-fermentation process that distinguishes Cohiba from every other Cuban brand.
Each Cohiba Siglo I is hand-rolled using tobaccos sourced from the Vegas de Primera plantations in the Vuelta Abajoregion, specifically the San Juan y Martínez and San Luis districts. These tobaccos are regarded as the finest in the world. Uniquely, Cohiba’s seco, ligero, and medio tiempo leaves undergo an additional fermentation in wooden barrels, enriching aroma, depth, and smoothness.
The Siglo I offers a beautifully balanced flavour profile, with notes of cedar, roasted coffee, cocoa, and warm spiceunfolding in perfect harmony. Despite its compact size, it delivers a surprisingly complex and refined smoke, lasting around 30 minutes – ideal for those seeking an authentic Cohiba experience in a shorter format.
