Description

In the grand tapestry of fine cigars, the Cohiba Exquisitos stands as a testament to refined craftsmanship and rich heritage. This slender panetela, measuring 5 inches in length with a 33-ring gauge, offers a harmonious blend of flavor and sophistication, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned aficionados and newcomers to the world of premium cigars.

A Glimpse into History

The Cohiba brand, established in 1966, was initially crafted for President Fidel Castro and produced at the esteemed El Laguito factory. The name “Cohiba” is derived from an ancient Taino Indian term for the tobacco leaves that Columbus first observed being smoked by Cuba’s indigenous people. In 1982, Cohiba cigars were introduced to the global market, with the Exquisitos being one of the original vitolas, alongside the Panetela and Lancero.

Craftsmanship and Construction

The Exquisitos is meticulously handcrafted, featuring a smooth, oily wrapper with minimal veins, indicative of its superior construction. The filler leaves undergo a unique third fermentation in barrels, a process exclusive to Cohiba, resulting in a refined aroma and flavor profile.

Tasting Notes

First Third: Upon lighting, the cigar greets the palate with a harmonious blend of creamy cedar and roasted almonds, accompanied by a subtle sweetness and earthy undertones.

Second Third: As the journey continues, notes of leather and cocoa emerge, complemented by a gentle spice that adds depth without overpowering the blend.

Final Third: The finale is a crescendo of rich coffee and dark chocolate, with a lingering, warm finish that leaves a lasting impression.

Pairing Suggestions

To enhance the experience, consider pairing the Exquisitos with:

  • 8-Year Macallan Single Malt Scotch: The sherried richness and smooth oak notes of this aged Scotch highlight the cigar’s earthy and leathery undertones, creating a harmonious experience.
  • Vintage Champagne: The crisp acidity and subtle sweetness of a vintage Champagne provide a refreshing contrast, bringing out the cigar’s cedar and cocoa notes beautifully.
  • Cuban Coffee: The rich, bold flavor of Cuban coffee pairs seamlessly with the cigar’s complexity, enhancing its depth and the richness of the final third.

Conclusion

The Cohiba Exquisitos is more than a cigar; it’s a testament to the artistry and tradition of Cuban cigar-making. Its elegant form and complex flavor profile make it a distinguished choice for those seeking a refined smoking experience.
