Cohiba Siglo III cigars are an elegant, long and slender cigar. The Siglo range of cigars is probably the most popular Cohiba cigar range and sits alongside the Maduro, Behike and Clasica ranges. Buy now at Fareham Wine Cellar.
Cohiba is the flagship Cuban Cigar brand of Habanos S.A. and was created in 1966. It was formally launched in 1968, for President Fidel Castro, and the cigars were made at the then top-secret, now world-famous, El Laguito factory (today some of the cigars are now made at the Partagas factory).
Originally, Cohiba Cigars were only ever for the use of high-ranking government officials and for giving away as gifts to heads of state and visiting diplomats. The Cohiba Cigar brand was first launched outside of Cuba at the 1982 Football World Cup in Spain.
The tobacco leaves for Cohiba Cigars are the “selection of the selection” from the five finest plantations in the San Juan y Martinez and San Luis districts of the Vuelta Abajo zone. Uniquely amongst Havanas, up to three of Cohiba’s filler leaves, the seco, ligero and the rare medio tiempo, undergo an extra fermentation in barrels, which adds smoothness to the blend.
The Cohiba Siglo III is part of the Linea 1942 range launched in 1992 to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s epic voyage.

The Cohiba Siglo III is a medium to full-bodied Cuban cigar that delivers a smooth and evolving flavour experience. It starts with creamy notes of sweet cedar, toasted almonds, and a touch of light honey, layered over a grassy, earthy base. As it progresses, richer flavours of caramel, coffee, and nutmeg emerge, beautifully balanced by hints of leather and wood. In the final third, the cigar turns bolder, unveiling cocoa, dark roasted coffee, spicy cedar, and a subtle whisper of liquorice, culminating in a long, warm, and aromatic finish.
Perfect with an aged rum, single malt Scotch whisky or an espresso coffee.
