Cohiba - Siglo IV - Single
Cohiba - Siglo IV - Single
A single cigar, the ideal way to try this size before committing to a box.
The Corona Gorda: a fuller-bodied corona with a generous 46 ring gauge that gives a rich, cool draw. Often described as the most versatile Siglo, equally at home after lunch or dinner.
Cohiba's Línea 1492 was unveiled in Havana in November 1992 to mark five hundred years since Columbus reached the Americas. “Siglo” means century, and each number in the original line honours one of those five centuries. As with every Cohiba, the tobacco is selected from the Vuelta Abajo, and the seco and ligero leaves are given the marque's additional fermentation in barrels, which is behind the smooth, rounded character Cohiba is known for. Habanos class the Línea 1492 as medium in flavour, the lightest of the Cohiba lines, which makes the Siglos an elegant introduction to the marque and a dependable everyday choice for experienced smokers.
Connoisseurs' notes
Published reviewers commonly describe the Siglo IV as: Creamy and rounded, with caramel, nougat and honeyed nuts, and a touch of dried cherry.
