VIDEO: Unboxing Cuba’s Cohiba 55 Aniversario Edición Limitada
Cuba is throwing a $300 a cigar—roughly triple the price of a Cohiba Esplendido and double the price of most Cohiba Behikes. Some outlets are selling them for far more.
Cigar Aficionado got hold of a box of five. Watch the video to see the packaging, and to view the presentation of the Cohiba 55s inside.
Even though it’s being held in Havana, this is not the first party for the new Cohiba. A series of celebrations took place in May in various countries, including Cyprus, the home of Phoenicia T.A.A., one of the world’s biggest distributors of Cuban cigars.
The large smoke has a pigtail and goes by the factory name Victoria. Distributor Habanos S.A. says the strength level falls between medium to full in body, or medio a fuerte.
Look for a rating of the new Cohiba 55 Aniversario in an issue of Cigar Insider and a future issue of Cigar Aficionado.
