Cigar Shop Cuban Cohiba Montecristo guaranteed authentic Vancouver Cigar

The much anticipated Edicion Limitada 2011 from Cohiba.

The initial tasting of this powerful cigar at the Habanos Festival in Havana in February of 2011 was met with huge and generous reports from all who had participated.  Later on in the year when this cigar was finally released to the public, we all had the chance to taste for ourselves what all of the excitement was about and the cigar delivered even more than anticipated.

Think back to the legendary Cohiba Sublime released in 2004 and you'll get an idea of the depth of flavours awaiting you.  Dark and rich chocolate comes to the forefront accompanied with notes of espresso and incredible leather and woods.  Clip the pigtail cap and get ready for almost 2 hours of smoking time, a rather sizeable commitment but for those who want to taste the best that Cuba had to offer in 2011.  Boxes will surely be stored in humidors world wide and saved by those who know that another legend is in the making.

The Behike line from Cohiba was hands down the most anticipated release the public had ever experienced.  Adding the Medio Tiempo leaf that appears from time to time at the very top of the tobacco plant to this incredible blend gave cigar smokers something they haven't experienced since 1962 when the leaf's use was cancelled.

Anyone wanting to experience a rich bomb of dark explosive flavours were instead given a whole new sensation when they finally were able to smoke the Behike 52.  Sweet coffee, gingerbread, vanilla, milk chocolate, subtle toasted coconut all blended together with cedar and toasted tobacco.  Cigar Aficionado giving it their top pick of the year only fanned the flames of passionate Cuban cigar lovers needs to get their hands on them and then the waiting lists started to appear at every cigar shop dealing in authentic Cuban cigars.

Fast forward a few years and now, since the dust has finally settled, we are able to find them and taste something very special.  An incredible cigar when young, sweet and satisfying.  A few years of aging will see them mature into a very special occasion cigar.

The blend of tobacco leaves in the Cohiba Behike 54, which include the Medio Tiempo leaf found at the top of Cuban tobacco plants, delivers slightly more powerful flavours than the Behike 52.

Although still a sweet cigar, this 54 ring gauge vitola will reveal darker chocolate, stronger coffee notes, leather, cedar, vanilla and a subtle herbal flavour profile that the Behike is now becoming famous for.  Ask anyone who have smoked all three Behikes and many will say that this is their favourite.  Ask someone else with the same passion for high quality Cuban cigars and you make get a different report but one thing is guaranteed, aficionados are very very passionate about the Behike line, at this point its a choice between a Mercedes or a BMW.

The largest in the Behike trinity at a sizeble 56 ring gauge and 6 1/2 inches long, will satisfy those who are ready to finally taste this complex, impeccable blend of aged tobaccos which deliver a large powerful statement about the state of the cigar industry in Cuba today.  Where the other two Behike siblings take you in a rich experience of flavours as they enter their final third, the Behike 56, also constructed with the inclusion of the medio tiempo leaf, will start there and catapult your senses further down the road to an even more complex and diverse Cuban cigar smoking experience.

Think dim lights, dark oak walls, rich leather and a weighty beverage to pair with a cigar of this stature.  Although this large cigar is never harsh, it is not for the faint of heart or someone new to the passion of cigar smoking who is expecting a mellow introduction, that is where the Behike 52 shines.  This Alpha male older brother is in charge of sending a louder message. A must try!

This is one of the first Cohibas marketed in 1982 when the smoker on the street was suddenly able to purchase cigars usually only available to diplomats.

With a 38 ring gauge and almost 6 inches of length, this size has stood the test of time and many today still consider this elegant slim cigar to be one of the finest Cohiba has to offer. This blend, from Cuba's finest tobacco, is balanced and rich, giving you a more complex smoking experience than many Cuban cigars you will experience.

You'll initially taste Cohiba's grassy herbal flavor profile but a spicy bean medley of chocolate, vanilla and coffee will make its presence known. As you enter your first third, these flavors continue evolving into rich dark honey and woody notes as this cigar comes to a crescendo.

In 1989 the Esplendidos was added to the Cohiba line and the cigar took the world by storm. Cohiba gets first pick from Cuban tobacco harvested annually and with its incredible blend, this cigar delivers a complex flavor profile that gives cigar lovers a never ending roller coaster of ever evolving flavors.

One minute you'll be experiencing an herbal grassy taste and the next you'll be amazed at the coffee and chocolate notes which appear. Spice is also something you can expect with this Julieta No. 2, although never harsh, you'll notice that there is a white pepper sensation which accompanies the many notes you'll taste. After smoking many Cuban cigars you'll find that the Cohiba spice is what you'll identify first upon lighting.

Quite often in cinema and, now music videos, you'll see an Esplendidos as a recognizable prop in the hands of those wishing to appear successful, it is simply one of the world's finest cigars.

At one eighth of an inch short of 5 inches long, and a 36 ring gauge, the Exquisitos is a milder Cohiba with medium bean flavors. This means that you'll be able to detect slight vanilla, chocolate and coffee flavors even in this smaller cigar format. The cigar will start off being quite mild but as you enter your second half you'll taste more spice, cedar and the bean flavors become more present. Expect an hour of smoking time, perfect after lunch with coffee.

The Maduro Series from Cohiba uses leaves from the upper part of the Tobacco plant which have been aged for 5 years. This aging technique has resulted in a dark wrapper leaf used for this cigar, the largest of the Cohiba release in 2007.

The Genios, at 5 1/2 inches long and a ring gauge of 52 and with its rich and dark flavor profile, offers complexity and a true evolution of flavors. In this case, you'll taste a darker chocolate, a darker coffee, and a spicy woody flavor that, in a lot of ways, mimics the more expensive and rare limited edition Cohiba cigars but at an affordable price for a cigar of this quality. The Cohiba Genios is definitely a cigar to pair with a single malt or a sherry after a heavy meal.

This is a cigar that will perform time after time; in fact this may be the most consistent cigar that Cuba produces. A creamy grassy cold draw before lighting and then that Cohiba spice will appear as soon as the cigar is lit.

Take your time with this Lanceros, when the cigar's flame is allowed to stay cool you'll experience a wide variety of flavors including coffee, sweet hay and a nuttiness that has been the mainstay of many Cohiba smokers who especially love this size of cigar.

In 1982, when this cigar was finally introduced to the public, many were able to experience what only diplomats and heads of state would receive as diplomatic gifts. Many would maintain that this Cohiba was the favourite of Fidel Castro and although he probably lit many of these great cigars, it was the Coronas Especiales that he smoked.

The Cohiba Magicos, with its 4 1/2 inch length and 52 ring gauge, delivers some of the finest dark flavors that this 2007 series is known for. The 5 year fermentation of the wrapper leaves for these cigars has resulted in a Maduro that is dark, slightly toothy, and oily.

Those searching for Cohiba's herbal and grassy flavor profile will be surprised when lighting this hefty little cigar since this is more of an earthy flavor profile mixed with dark espresso and chocolate notes. Some spice will enter the picture, and sweet cedar and toasted tobacco are ever present, but this Maduro series has a unique Cohiba taste all of its own.

This is the smallest of the three cigars that Cohiba introduced to the public in 1982, which is now referred to as the Linea Clasica (classic line).

With a 26 ring gauge and only 4 1/2 inches long, this Panetela will deliver volumes of full bodied smoke which are balanced, elegant and full of cream and honey. The signature classic Cohiba herbal first third, with it's spice and bean flavors, becomes a bomb of leather and cedar into the final third, suggesting that even the small amount of tobacco used in this blend is of the finest quality and capable of delivering surprising complexity.

This Cohiba Piramide Edicion Limitada 2006 has been unavailable for over a year.  Luckily, Vancouver Cigar Company stocked up and aged some boxes. We have a limited quantity left and then they will be gone forever. Get your hands on a box today.

This re-release of the 2001 Edicion Limitada Piramid was hugely anticipated. The 2006 Cohiba Piramid is described by Habanos S.A with a little note in the box stating: Habanos S.A. celebrates the 5th Anniversary of the Limited Editions with this selection of 10 Cohiba Piramides. A set of 10 torpedo-shaped Habanos (ring gauge 52 and 156 mm in the length), Totally Hand-made with carefully selected wrapper leaves which have been aged for 2 years. This cigar is everything you want in a Cohiba.

The Piramide is full-bodied, spicy, with dark chocolate overtones. As with most Cohibas, there are few subtleties, but you can taste hints of paprika and chili.

This has been the finest Robusto out of Cuba since it was introduced in 1989, plain and simple. Initially you'll be impressed with the caramel coloured wrapper, triple cap and construction; much care is taken to blend and roll this Robusto and it is a remarkably consistent cigar.

The age of this cigar can determine the smoking experience. A younger Cohiba Robustos can be a very complex and evolving cigar with sweeter notes of milk chocolate, fresh hay and spice. A cigar after 5 years or more of aging will have the same spice but more that of cedar and a darker chocolate, all the while burning very evenly with a stubborn white ash.

Either way, fresh or aged, the Cohiba Robustos continues to thrill those who love a roughly 5 inch, 50 ring gauge cigar and hopefully Cohiba will be able to produce these great cigars for decades to come.

This, the smallest of the Maduro 5 Series introduced in 2007, comes with a wrapper aged for 5 years. The dark wrapper gives this small cigar richness and, to a degree, flavors reminiscent of the notes which are present in the rarely rolled and distributed Cohiba Limited Edition cigars.

Expect close to an hour of smoking time beginning with a sweet dark coffee and ending with mocha and toasted tobacco. The Cohiba spice is present in the Maduro 5 series though not as pronounced as in the "Linea Clasica".

This is not a meek and mild cigar in the Cohiba Siglo Series. A regular firecracker but, along with all its attitude, the Siglo I has a balanced blend of flavors from a pleasant grassiness to a caramel, woody, black pepper finish.

This little Perlas was introduced in 1994 and is presented in boxes of 25 or in new, premium style, aluminum tubes. This is another very consistent Cohiba with a great draw and flawless construction. A great after lunch cigar which should give you close to 40 minutes of smoking time.

This Mareva is one of the milder cigars distributed by Cohiba. Present is the Cohiba spice with an herbal smoking experience in the beginning, while building into a sweet creamy honey smoke as the cigar burns.

This premium Cuban blend offers a balanced flavor profile, perfectly fitted for the novice smoker who wishes to sample one of Cuba's great mid-size cigars. Introduced in 1994 as part of the Siglo Line, this Cohiba is rolled with the finest leaves harvested from the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba. This is another example of a first rate "middle of the day" cigar, easily enjoyed with coffee or Cuban Rum.

This perfectly blended, mild Mareva from Cohiba's Siglo line is a great example of Cuba's finest tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region rolled up into a perfect cigar for the novice smoker wishing to experience a medium strength cigar any time of day.

The new premium style aluminum tube protects this cigar from getting damaged during transport from your home to the golf course or if you're simply tossing it into a jacket pocket for later on into the evening.

This cigar, as part of the Linea 1492 introduced in 1992, was an event scheduled to commemorate the anniversary of Columbus landing in the new world.

Using the finest tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region, Cohiba has given those new to the cigar passion a great mild to medium strength cigar. An herbal, earthy first third with a hint of vanilla is only the beginning of some of the flavor notes you should experience as this cigar burns. Like the Siglo II, this is another sweet and creamy cigar in the Cohiba Siglo line. The construction of this Corona Grande is consistent and the burn razor sharp.

A slightly milder version of the Cohiba Robustos, this Corona Gorda is nutty, creamy and full of earthiness. Complexity is a description seasoned smokers will use when describing this hour and a half smoking experience with elegant notes of walnuts, sweet earthiness, all seasoned with a mild spice.

The cigar tends to evolve into a more medium strength smoke into the second half as it starts to deliver notes of cedar, toasted tobacco and coffee with cream. The fact that Cohiba will take their seco and ligero leaves and add a third fermentation process by aging these leaves in barrels, shows you Cohiba's commitment by going the extra distance to deliver Cuba's finest cigars.

Coming in at 6.6 inches and a 43 ring gauge, this Cohiba Siglo V is considered by many to be one of Cohiba's finest cigars. Mild spice, herbal and loaded with bean flavors is the best way to describe the flavor profile of this Lonsdale shaped cigar.

There is nothing harsh about the Siglo V. The many flavors present in the first third gently give way to a medium strength delivery of leather and moist earth as the cigar comes to an end. This is one of the more elegant cigars Cohiba produces with a balanced blend, beautiful aroma and tremendous aging potential.

Originally released in 2002 as part of the 10th Anniversary of the Linea 1942 or Siglo line, the Siglo VI was the first Cohiba to feature the new Gold embossed lettering on the Cohiba label.

The Siglo VI paved the way for a demand in larger, thicker cigars which we now see in the Trinidad Robusto Extra and the H.Upmann Magnum 50.  At 5 7/8" X 52 this cigar takes some commitment.  The smoke is generally characterized by a full, not quite dark-chocolate taste. As with cigars of this girth, the Siglo VI intensifies as you smoke it down to it's strong end.  The finish reminds me of peaty Isla scotch's like Talisker, a real treat if you love all-encompassing flavor.

Cohiba Siglo VI Tubo cigars are one of the best Cuban cigars that are presented in a tube casing. Cohiba Siglo VI Tubo cigars are full bodied, well rounded and of course, they contain the Cohiba tobacco blend.
