The Cohiba Siglo III is a distinguished member of the Cohiba Línea 1492 range, offering a medium to full-bodied experience that perfectly embodies the signature balance, smoothness, and refinement that define Cuba’s most prestigious cigar brand. Elegant and aromatic, it provides an extended and deeply rewarding smoke for those who appreciate classic Cohiba sophistication.
Originally created in 1966 for President Fidel Castro, Cohiba cigars were rolled exclusively at the world-famous El Laguito factory in Havana – a once-secret facility dedicated to perfection. Initially reserved as diplomatic gifts for heads of state and visiting dignitaries, Cohiba became available to the public in 1982, instantly recognised as the flagship brand of Habanos and a global symbol of luxury.
The name Cohiba originates from an ancient Taino Indian word describing the bunches of tobacco leaves that Columbus first observed being smoked by the native people of Cuba – the earliest form of the Habano. This legacy continues to define the brand’s deep cultural and historical roots.
Each Cohiba Siglo III is hand-crafted from tobaccos grown in the most select Vegas de Primera plantations in the San Juan y Martínez and San Luis districts of the Vuelta Abajo region – home to the finest tobacco in the world. Only Cohiba applies an exclusive third fermentation process to its filler leaves – seco, ligero, and the rare medio tiempo – aged in wooden barrels to achieve unmatched smoothness, aroma, and depth of flavour.
The Siglo III opens with woody cedar notes and gentle spice, developing into rich tones of cocoa, roasted coffee, and sweet cream. Its construction ensures a flawless burn and effortless draw throughout the smoke, finishing with a lingering, refined sweetness that epitomises Cohiba’s craftsmanship.
Longer than the Siglo II yet equally balanced, the Cohiba Siglo III offers an indulgent 45-minute experience of pure Cuban luxury.
