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: A very flavorful Petit Corona, similar in size to the Trinidad Reyes. 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.

About this Cigar: The aromas of this very noble cigar are swathed in clove, aged wood and cocoa. While some might dispute the claim, at Havana Cigar Exchange we refer to this Robusto as the finest of them all. On a technical level the construction is almost always flawless and the draw is rich and ample. On the palate an intricate blend of fresh grass and rich earth take turns in leading the delicate burn through blissful ebbs and flows. A connoisseur's smoke that can certainly be appreciated by novices alike.

About this Cigar: This Corona Gorda has consistently increased in quality every year since its introduction in 1992. The Siglo IV is a demanding, yet fantastic smoke and should be visited by seasoned afficionados only. The Cohiba Corona Gorda is full bodied and is capable of giving the smoker a whack. An impressive construction makes for the Siglo IV's flavors to be released in an easy and equal burn. Wonderful flavors released consist of pepper, roasted nuts and medium tobacco. Towards the end of the stick the blend might release chocolate spice onto your palate. A well rounded cigar and very pleasant.

An eye-catching leather cigar case for a single cigar. Sporting the famous black and yellow livery, the case contains one Cohiba Esplendido, 7” (178mm) x 47 ring gauge. Cohiba remains Cuba’s flagship Habanos brand.
The Petit Robusto has proved to be a very popular size since the launch of the Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto in 2004 (4” (102mm) x 50 Ring gauge). Since then only one more brand has been awarded this vitola (Romeo y Julieta Petit Churchill) and they remain the only two currently available in the standard Habanos portfolio.
The Seleccion Petit Robustos gift box offers a unique opportunity to enjoy this size in other leading Habanos marques; Cohiba, Montecristo, Partagas, and H.Upmann, with the current Romeo y Julieta completing the set of five brands.
Each “book style” box contains ten cigars (two from each brand) with strips of cedar with magnets in each end securing the cigars in place.
