Cuba is probably the most famous and best-known country in the world among those countries known for their cigar production. From here come i.a. the world-famous brands Cohiba, Montecristo, Partagas, , Romeo y Julieta and Trinidad. When Christopher Columbus made his way to India in 1492, he discovered the Caribbean island and later brought tobacco consumption to Europe. Since the beginning of the 19th century, Cuban cigars have not only been the ultimate for European aficionados but also all over the world. The Cuban capital is called Habana in Spanish, hence the name Habanos for Cuban cigars. Compared to cigars from other countries of origin such as the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua, Cuban cigars are generally stronger.
The geology of Cuba in connection with the prevailing climate offer ideal conditions for tobacco cultivation and cigar production. The Vuelta Abajo in western Cuba is probably the world's most famous tobacco growing area, where the best tobaccos for the finest long fillers grow. Tobacco experts and cigar smokers agree on one thing: the cradle of the best tobacco is in the westernmost province of Cuba - in Pinar del Rio. The diverse flora and fauna as well as the natural beauty are one of the reasons why parts of the province are classified as worthy of protection by UNESCO. The soils in Pinar del Rio consist of copper-red clay, the climate is humid, and it rains regularly with an annual average temperature between 26°C and 27°C. The plantation area in Pinar del Rio is around 100,000 hectares, with the average area of a plantation that also known as La Vega is around 150 hectares in size. Among the best-known Vegas is that of Hoyo de Monterrey, on which filler tobacco is usually grown, and that of El Corojo, which is used for its wrapper leaves.

Seit über 30 Jahren ist dieses Zigärrchen im ungewöhnlichen Panetela-Format „Seoane“ am Start. Weniger bekannt als die meisten anderen Cohibas, ist es eine ideale Wahl für die früheren Stunden des Tages. Ihre moderate Stärke eignet sie besonders gut zum Einstieg in die Marke.
Aroma
Eine feine, subtile Aromatik prägt das kleine Florett. Hier stehen klar die grasig-floralen, duftigen Facetten des klassischen Cohiba-Geschmacksbilds im Zentrum. Gleichwohl handelt es sich um eine waschechte Kubanerin, kommen doch auch jene unvergleichlichen ledrig-holzig-würzigen Komponenten zum Tragen, die in dieser Form nur Habanos bieten. Trotz der geringen Länge ist der charakteristische Rauchverlauf dünner Formate, eine Entwicklung hin zu stetig mehr Würze und Körper, deutlich wahrnehmbar. Eine wunderbare Melange süßer und herberer Noten! Rauchzeit 30 – 45 Minuten.

Contrary to the name (“the short ones”), these are the longest Quinteros and also the most productive, with a smoking time of approx. 45 – 55 minutes. Other blends were previously sold under the same name; Since 2002 these have been the brand's usual handmade short fillers.
Flavours
The crema-like format steams quite well and also tastes nice and intense; certainly the strongest and spiciest Quinteros. It is dominated by noble, bitter, earthy-toasty notes; it largely lacks the sweet character of the Tubulares, for example. Tannins of dark woods, coffee roasted aromas and malty bread crust come to the aficionado's mind when smoking.

“Churchill” Anilla or not – this is a flawless Robusto with the typical dimensions and the usual smoking time of approx. 55 – 70 minutes. Amazing: The most popular format of the moment was only added to the RyJ range in 2010!
Flavours
The “SC” tastes - in short, one could say for connoisseurs of the brand - exactly as you would expect from a Romeo-Robusto. Smooth medium strength - initially rather light, in the last third just above -, wonderfully creamy smoke, lots of nutty-gentle roasted aromas, subtle sweetness, especially at the beginning playful floral-fruity notes with a slightly grassy touch; later increasingly the characteristic leather notes. The cigar skillfully unites fans of the new (short “Churchill” formats) and the old RyJ face (pre-revolutionary formats) behind it. Bestseller!

Worth knowing
It may come as a surprise that today's most popular cigar format was only included in the Cohiba portfolio with the international marketing in 1989 – of course, with justifiably great success. Those who expect more smoothness and less strength than with the Coronas should, however, be prepared for an intense smoke of 60 – 80 minutes, because the „CoRo“ has a lot of punch!
Flavours
As is typical for the format, there is no „smoking-in phase“ with restrained aromatics. The usually rather loosely rolled cigar immediately delights with pithy wood, walnut and coffee flavours, slightly earthy-roasty underpinnings and cushioned by fine, floral honey. Overall, however, it is more of a noble, yet wonderfully creamy umami cigar, full-bodied and immensely „satisfying“, always more crisp than medium. Here, it is less about maximum variety in the course of the smoke than about a coherent, cohesive flavour. This Habano simply tastes like the very finest tobacco from A to Z!

Die „Short Panetela“ ist ein Dauerbrenner im Portfolio und eine der vielen ehemals maschinengefertigten Habanos, die seit 2002 handgerollt werden – allerdings zu einem sehr reellen Preis. Wunderbare, kräftige Alltagszigarre mit 35 – 50 (!) Minuten Rauchzeit.
Aromen
Das erstaunlich ergiebige Kleinformat zählt, wie u.a. die „Aristocrats“, zu den kräftigen Markenvertretern. Geschmacklich eher linear und konsistent, punktet es insbesondere bei erfahreneren Rauchern mit großer Intensität und tollem, unverstelltem Ligero-Aroma nach dunkler Erde und frischem Espresso. Deutlicher als bei den meisten anderen Habanos ist eine pfeffrige Komponente vorhanden, die aber nie unangenehm beißt. Ein deftig-pikanter, edelherber Smoke mit nur leichter Süße. Der traditionsbewusste Blend gewinnt durch Reifung besonders an Komplexität.

No, this is not a cigarillo, but actually a premium long filler! The straw-thin cigar is one of the Cohiba classics, having been introduced in 1967, one year after the official brand launch. Ideal as the first Cohiba ever – and with 20 – 35 minutes of smoking time for the break!
Flavours
The smallest Cohiba is also the lightest and mildest. It has the sweet aromas typical of the brand, but also thrives on creamy and gently nutty facets that are sometimes reminiscent of Hoyo de Monterrey. Charming, discreet aromas can also be found in the harmonious, very pleasant taste. If one can generally expect such a thin cigar to have an intense, crisp feel, this Panetela has been noticeably blended for ease and beginner friendliness. It is a glorious success – a wonderful introduction to the brand.

Launched in 2015, this power dwarf has quickly become a favorite of many aficionados for the “short distance” established. An outstanding “break cigar” (30 - 45 minutes) for fans of rather strong Habanos with “dark” Flavors.
Flavours
The above-average strong Mini-Monte is a prime example of aroma concentration. Roasted coffee aromas with a classy mocha touch, plenty of cocoa on the palate, the brand's unique creamy, subtle sweetness, and surprisingly more body and earth than most longer Corona formats - the second half of a “No. 3”, with a character all of its own. Towards the end, you can certainly remember the depth of taste of the noble “Dumas” remembered. Despite the brevity, a real development can be seen. Great small format!

Probably the most elegant format of the Partagás-equivalent to super-luxury series such as “Línea 1935” or “Línea de Oro” is a type of Gran Corona Gorda with a smoking time of around 65 - 75 minutes. Intense Cuban indulgence for a special occasion!
Flavours
Cuba's longest-serving manufacturer has put a lot of thought into this Vítola. The ratio of length to thickness ensures an exciting smoke. What begins with a mixture of sweet and spicy, dazzlingly diverse incense and oriental spice aromas, typical of the brand, escalates into an expressive, powerful adventure that repeatedly leads to experiences that one would rather expect from a Bolívar. In other words, extremely appealing citrusy, ethereal, sometimes tart tones that fit perfectly into the highly complex flavor profile. A dream!

Nearly Robusto in length, but with the slender Cremas ring gauge of 40, this is the boldest cigar in the Guantanamera portfolio. A first-class short filler with the good smoking characteristics known from the brand. Lasts approx. 35 – 45 minutes.
Flavours
Smooth, woody and mellow in flavour like all Guantanameras, the Decimos are a little more savoury and spicy in aroma. They convey particularly clearly that typical „juicy“, mouth-filling tobacco taste that makes Cuban cigars so unmistakable – despite their short-filler character. In the course of smoking, they gain a bit of spiciness, but remain smooth, rather light and extremely voluptuous until the end. A wonderful product for beginners or the early hours of the day!

The imposing large format of the ‘Master Series’ is a Pyrámide in Toro-Largo format and will put a rapturous smile on your face for around 1 ½ hours! One of Cuba's most fascinating blends unfolds all its charms here in awe-inspiring perfection.
Flavours
If you want a little more in every respect, this majestic Habana is the perfect choice. The creamy smoke, full-flavoured and gentle at the same time, opens up a wonder bag of intense tobacco flavours - the ‘dark’ sweetness of roasted almonds, but also liquorice, meets the animating tingle of exotic spices, which becomes steadily more racy as the smoke progresses, without ever appearing aggressive. The unique selling point of this format is the tart-sweet fruity undertones, which range from figs to cassis and oranges. Towards the end, deep flavours of tropical wood, espresso and incense predominate.

A sampler came first, now the 3 formats are also available individually - and actually less expensive than in a pack of three! The thick torpedo with approx. 55 - 65 minutes of smoking time bundles the qualities of the dream blend into a concentrated treat.
Flavours
The rustic deluxe cheroot fascinates right from the start with its lush smoke volume - a flood of complex spicy aromas hits the palate in oily density. The palette ranges from cinnamon and nutmeg to clove and allspice to deep, warming black pepper. Subtle caramel sweetness provides the necessary counterpoint, combined with the more fragrant, charmingly floral facets that can also be found in a similar form in “Lusitania”, for example. Of course, there are countless other facets at this level - oak, for example, and the brand's typical resins. The finish is furious!

Of course, the “Mareva” short corona is also part of the Partagás portfolio. The “Shorts” were already on the market before the revolution and have always been the preferred “break cigar” for fans of the brand for around 30 - 40 minutes.
Flavours
Partagás in its purest form! “Minutos” are known for capturing the essence of a brand in just over half an hour using the very best tobacco. The “shorts” are a little more expensive than other small formats - but it's worth it, because none of their sisters bring the flavors of spices, aromatic resin, earth, coffee and the unmistakable light caramel touch to the man as compact and concentrated as they do! Accompanied by a pleasant leathery impression, the spice and earthiness increase as the smoke progresses, even adding a hint of cocoa. One of the best little ones!

The Corona small format „Mareva“ has also long been represented in the portfolio of the traditional brand Bolívar, although no longer – as it used to be – in the cabinet (box with sliding lid). In the last century, the Vítola „Petit Corona“ usually referred to machine production, while the name „Mareva“ was used for hand-rolled premium cigars of the same format. However, this Habano has always been a handmade long filler of excellent quality.
Aroma
The second smallest Bolívar presents itself a little more powerful and earthy than its smaller sister. Overall, however, it stands between this and the larger formats in terms of taste with its more pronounced sweetness and opulence; the creamy smoke texture suggests a larger ring gauge. The citrus character of the main Bolívar blend comes through particularly well. It is somewhat reminiscent of the Lang Coronas of yesteryear and is remarkably productive due to a finely balanced rolling and impeccable smoking properties. 45 minutes are always possible, slow smokers sometimes reach more than 1 hour.

The „Linea 1492“ aka „Siglo“-series was introduced in 1994 as a somewhat lighter and milder addition to the powerful classic Cohiba series to appeal to a broader clientele. Even its smallest representative with a smoking time of 30 – 45 minutes, however, impressively shows that the brand character is fully preserved here!
Aroma
It's amazing how comprehensive this little Perla is in terms of the Cohiba flavour picture! Hay and honey, cedar, nutty umami notes, floral overtones, more strength and intensity towards the end – it's everything a fan could wish for! In addition, there is a certain, quite pleasant leathery astringency, which no other Cohiba has in exactly this form. It is part of the quality claim of those responsible to really give each individual format a certain something that makes it unique – and this small format is also excellently implemented. Medium-bodied, full-bodied, delicious!

Flavours
For beginners, but also for the everyday life of experienced aficionados, the Guantanamera portfolio is always an excellent choice. The nicotine content is quite low, but the flavour, which varies in nuances from format to format, is pleasingly full-bodied. Pleasant fermentation, balanced aromas, the taste of cereals and a slightly flowery impression with a hint of hay come together very harmoniously. From the spicier, darker Vítolas to the creamy Decimos, there is something for every taste!

Due to the identical format, you could mistake this Habano for a "Mille Fleurs" in a tube; however, it has always been a separate blend. Only the smoking time of around 40 - 50 minutes is the same.
Flavours
Somewhat "lighter" and sweeter in aroma, with parallels to Hoyo de Monterrey, the No. 2 is nevertheless a little stronger than its sisters. Honey-sweet, creamy white bread/cereal notes, a nutty aftertaste and - of course - a certain earthy-leathery component ensure a wonderfully balanced, medium-strength smoke that almost every Cuba fan will certainly enjoy.

No other manufacturer in Cuba experiments as much with its portfolio as the young Trinidad brand. This unique corona format has become one of their flagships since its introduction in 2004. Generous - burns for just over 1 hour.
Flavours
One of the spiciest, strongest and most aromatically compact “Trini”. Roasted and nutty flavors characterize the smoking experience throughout; sweetness is also present, albeit more subtle than in the thicker formats. The brand's unmistakable fruity, tropical heart note can of course also be tasted; here it has a delightful subtle acidic touch that makes it a fantastic summer cigar - if you can cope with its not inconsiderable power; not only the fruit acidity, but also the strength is reminiscent of Bolívar. Pure Caribbean!

From the very beginning, this Mareva aka Petit Corona has also belonged to the „Linea 1492“. The classic Vítola is one of the world's most popular cigar formats and was missing from the Cohiba portfolio before 1994. Like the other slim representatives of the series (I, III and V), it is somewhat stronger than the thicker ones. The smoking time is 35 – 50 minutes.
Flavours
The thin ring gauge results in a somewhat more concentrated and tart aroma than that of the voluminous „Siglos“. Here, the focus is on spicy Röst and nutty aromas, of course without missing the fragrant, elegant elegance that unites all Cohibas. Also typical is the creamy smoke. In the second half, hints of mocha and cocoa complement the noble taste. The strength is just above medium. The production quality is, as with all Cohibas, beyond all doubt. In terms of the blend, this gorgeous little Corona could just as well belong to the classic series.

These super-affordable Coronas have been available in practical acrylic tubes since 2002. Like all Guantanameras, they are machine-made short fillers; nevertheless, the tobacco is of impressive quality. An ideal introduction to the world of Cuban cigars! Smoking time 40 – 55 minutes
Flavours
Süßer, rich, quite „mature“ seeming tobacco flavour characterizes the entire Smoke. A wonderfully gentle, thoroughly honest mixture, light and harmonious, with a development in the course of the smoke, towards more spiciness and also a little more strength. Honey, grain, umami and cedar can be tasted. A short filler cannot offer the complexity of a Cuban premium cigar, but the consistently pleasant, sweet taste appeals especially to beginners.

What a decadent pleasure! Hardly any other cigar that doesn't say “Cohiba” comes so close to the unique opulence of this exceptional brand. Extremely creamy smoke, an abundance of nutty aromas in perfect harmony with the finest floral fragrance, fruity taste and honey sweetness; more umami notes, clearer roasted aromas as the smoke progresses, but always a consistently gentle, pleasant impression with a consistently medium strength. The smoke is accompanied by elegant tropical wood ethereal notes. An absolutely exceptional blend!

Since the relaunch of the brand in 2014, the most affordable Habanos longfillers have become very dear to countless aficionados. This chic chubby - as usual in the 16-count metal tin - is a most welcome new addition with approx. 40 - 50 minutes of smoking time.
Flavours
No one will expect a miracle of variety from a 10 cm cigar - but the usual hearty, harmonious and very typically Cuban aromas certainly are! Somewhere between the strongest Upmanns and a Juán López, the Short Smoke unfolds wonderful roasted aromas, nice fat notes of peanuts and a subtle earthy undertone, underpinned by a very subtle sweetness. On the fragrant-elegant side of the aroma spectrum are fragrant-fine grassy overtones, permanently embedded in creamy-cosy smoke. The strength, which remains practically the same, is slightly above the mid-range.

This format remains a bestseller even in the age of 6x60„stovepipes“. No wonder, because with the Mareva you can experience the characteristics of a brand in concentrated form in about 35– 50 minutes. This is also the case with this gold piece!

It is not for nothing that Montes „Dreier“ is counted among the most circulated of all Habanos. For many decades, it has offered everything that aficionados have come to expect from this brand: the popular interplay of chocolate and strong coffee notes (which are in the foreground here), a good pinch of fine spices (especially nutmeg), a hint of hay and woody scents that are so characteristic of Cuban tobacco; plus a perfectly hit level of sweetness and sloppy creaminess. The strength is in the medium range – this makes the „No. 4“ as well as the „5“, a particularly suitable format for the entry into the classic Monte range!

In addition to the “Coloniales”, this small cigar is another veteran of the 2nd Trinidad generation from 2004. The dwarf is particularly popular with more experienced aficionados as a noble, intense break cigar for 35 – 45 minutes.
Flavours
With these dimensions, no one would expect the complexity, creaminess and smoothness of the thicker Trinidad. But anyone who likes the "Coloniales" will also love the roasted notes of fresh bread and the best coffee beans, the scent of exotic woods, the spicy spices that keep wafting across the palate and the rich, increasing earthiness of this medium-strong, surprisingly flavorful Habano. There is only a little sweetness creeping in here, but the smoke never seems unbalanced. Delicate from A to Z!

A little shorter and thicker than the long-filler minutos of other brands, these cigars, introduced in 2005, are the youngest member of the Guantanamera family – and the most popular among connoisseurs. 25 – 35 minutes of carefree enjoyment!

Despite its – manageable dimensions, this Guantanamera is the most complex and full-bodied. Honey/caramel and mild cereal flavours, as with its larger sisters, blend with the aroma of fresh coffee beans and fine, creamy umami notes to create an ingratiating taste experience that you would never expect from a machine-made cigar. From the first to the last puff, an uncomplicated pleasure with an exemplary burn, free of all biting, scratchy discords.
