About this Cigar: This Panetela, one of Fidel Castro's favorite smokes (before he stopped smoking) is charming, elegant and very refined. It is a must try for any aficionado and an in-house favorite here at Havana Cigar Exchange. Delicate flavors of fragrant flowers and sweet licorice persist in the mouth right upon ignition. Honey and spiced cedar quickly join in to mingle into fantastically aromatic finale. A little note to remember, despite the enticing flavors, a Lanceros must be enjoyed at a slow tempo so as not to overheat the experience.

About this Cigar: The aromas of this very noble cigar are swathed in clove, aged wood and cocoa.

A connoisseur's smoke that can certainly be appreciated by novices alike.

This new addition to the Cohiba family comes wrapped in dark leaves that were aged 5 years prior to construction. Enveloping aromas of a tight Italian coffee immediately come to mind and are quickly followed by fragrant notes of white ground pepper and Spring time honey. A treat indeed and a must try for all!

As part of Cohiba’s 50th anniversary celebrations last year, a new vitola was introduced to their La Linea 1492 range called Medio Siglo.
Medio Siglo (translating to half century) is the first new vitola to join the Siglo series since the addition of the Siglo VI in 2002.
The Medio Siglo carries the girth of a Siglo VI (52) and the length of a Siglo I
(4" /102mm). With these two hugely popular vitolas joining forces, the Medio Siglo is sure to be a great success.

About this Cigar: An intense, small, twenty minute Panetela that could be assimilated, with a slightly creamier finish, to the Lanceros or the Coronas Especiales. For a 26 ring gauge cigar, the variation of flavors it flaunts is quite remarkable. Beans (vanilla, cocoa, coffee) and toasted nuts tickle the taste buds for a notion of complexity suited for larger format cigars. The draw can be a little tight in the beginning but a little patience will be rewarded.
