It is one of the most famous cigar brands – the Cohiba little cigars. Smokers all over the world associate their sonorous name with the high-quality tobacco from the Cuban island. Cohiba little cigars, which you can of course also find in our range, add another format to this traditional brand.
The cigar has an eventful history: from 1964 onwards it was produced exclusively for personal use by Cuba’s head of state Fidel Castro or as a state gift for officials and important guests of the island. Because normal mortals couldn’t reach it at the time, a myth arose over the years from which Cohiba little cigars still benefit today. Cohiba little cigars have been on the open market since 1982 and delight not only the Cuban population, but aficionados all over the world.
Like all Cuban tobacco products, the Cohiba little cigars are also manufactured by the state-owned Habanos S.A. Appropriate regulations ensure that the farmers’ raw tobacco is sold at fixed prices. Furthermore, this institution controls the entire cigar distribution on the island. The Cohiba little cigars belong to the later special productions of this brand, because originally there was only one format – the one that Castro preferred. Over the years, the range has expanded, so that there is already quite a large selection.
What is the attraction of Cohiba little cigars? This is obvious, because they combine the first-class production of a real Cohiba with that of the short smoking time of a cigarillo. You don’t always have time for a long smoke session, which can last 30 minutes or more. If you don’t want to forego indulgence and taste original Cuban flavors, nothing is more obvious than reaching for the Cohiba little cigars. The small cigars are typical short fillers, which also carry the Habanos S.A. seal. wear. Thus, it is quality-tested branded products.
As already indicated, the Cohiba little cigars are the ideal compromise between high-quality tobacco products and a relatively short smoking time. You will be occupied with such a specimen for about 20 minutes. For a true connoisseur, reaching for a cigarette is out of the question as an alternative, even when time is short. The box contains 20 cigarillos that are medium-aromatic and taste of spices and wood. With a light pull they are quite strong and challenge the smoker. Typical for cigarillos, they have a diameter of 8 mm and are 80 mm long. This corresponds to a ring gauge of 20.
