Cohiba is Cuba’s flagship cigar house, created in the 1960s and released commercially in 1982. Línea 1492, Maduro 5 and Behike are distinct families with different formats and tobacco treatment. Choose the line first. A Siglo, Robusto and Behike should not be compared only by size, and allocated releases may require checking availability in advance.
The same Cuban house can feel very different from one vitola to another. A Petit Corona or Corona offers a direct reading of the blend; a Robusto adds body; Churchill and Double Corona formats need more time and patience. Condition and storage also matter, especially for boxes that have had time to rest.
Check whether the cigar is offered as a single, a pack or a box before reserving. The selected reference can be collected from the boutique in Dubai.
For a first comparison, choose a single cigar in a regular-production vitola and note how the draw and profile change through the thirds before moving to larger or limited releases.
