Cuban Cigars

Presented in 18-count boxes, the Cohiba Siglo de Oro boasts dimensions of 4.5 inches by 54 ring gauge, introducing a novel vitola within both the Cohiba and Habanos portfolios, named Éxitosos.

In a dual celebration, Habanos S.A., the Cuban cigar distributor, introduces the Cohiba Siglo de Oro, a fresh offering that pays homage to the Lunar New Year while commemorating the 30th anniversary of the iconic Línea 1492, also recognized as the “Siglo Series.” This special release not only marks the advent of the new year but also honors the three-decade legacy of the Linea 1492, a cornerstone of Cohiba’s success.

Following the tradition initiated in 2019 with the Romeo y Julieta Maravillas No.8 (Year of the Rat), the Cohiba Siglo de Oro stands as the fourth release by Habanos S.A. crafted in celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which is the year of the Rabbit.

Only 18,888 boxes have been crafted, a number symbolizing luck in Chinese culture due to the significance of the number 8. Each box bears a unique serial number displayed on a golden badge inside the lid, alongside an NFC chip. This cutting-edge technology allows users to scan the box with their smartphones for instant authentication and access to additional information about the cigars. Remarkably, this marks the first instance of NFC technology being integrated into a Cuban cigar box, functioning seamlessly even through the closed wooden box and outer packaging.

Additionally, a secondary band adorns each of these new Cohibas, representing the Year of the Rabbit, the current animal in the Chinese zodiac. The phrase "Year of the Rabbit" is also imprinted on the intricately designed, beveled box, along with a stylized logo commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Línea 1492 brand. While 2023 officially marked the Year of the Rabbit, it's worth noting that the Línea 1492 brand was introduced in 1992, making this anniversary celebration slightly delayed.

The El Rey del Mundo Royal Series is a luxurious Cuban cigar that combines elegance, craftsmanship, and a refined smoking experience. Featuring a Dobles vitola (6⅛” x 50), it is meticulously handcrafted and presented in a stunning Luxury Boîte Nature box of 20 cigars with an exclusive La Casa del Habano band. With a smooth Colorado wrapper, the Royal Series delivers a mild-to-medium strength profile, perfect for those who appreciate a balanced and nuanced smoke. From the first draw, expect creamy notes of cappuccino, hazelnut, and wood, complemented by floral and herbal undertones. As it progresses, subtle spices, cinnamon, and vanilla emerge, culminating in a rich and satisfying finale with hints of leather and dark cocoa. With impeccable construction, an even burn, and a smooth draw, this is a cigar that will only improve with age—a must-have for aficionados seeking sophistication and finesse in every puff.
