Havana Cigar Exchange - Worldwide Shipping of Cuban Cigars
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: 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. 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.
