Product Presentation: Cabinet of 10
First Third
Getting a clean burn on a foot this wide takes a minute, but once it catches, the draw offers just the right amount of resistance. You get hit immediately with a blast of toasted cedar and heavy cream that coats the palate. It doesn't tiptoe around; the smoke is thick and chewy right from the start, carrying underlying notes of damp earth and fresh walnuts.
Mid-Section
As the ash holds firm, the creaminess starts to recede slightly to make room for stronger spice notes like cinnamon and nutmeg. Roasted coffee beans and citrus zest enter the picture, giving the smoke a layered complexity. The body sits at a confident medium-full here—assertive but not overwhelming. Leather emerges on the retrohale, supple and well-integrated.
Final Third
The final act turns savoury and intense. The cedar becomes almost charred, with an oily, resinous quality. Espresso and dark chocolate dominate the palate, while black pepper builds steadily on the finish. Despite the increased power, the smoke remains smooth and well-constructed—a hallmark of El Laguito production.

Habanos S.A. launched this brand in 1966 originally as a private reserve for Fidel Castro and high-level diplomatic gifts. It wasn't until the early 80s that the public could even buy them. This specific vitola—the 1966 line—sits just below the Behike in Cohiba's hierarchy, launched to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary. The Laguito Especial format provides a generous canvas for the blend's complexity.

Not as intense as the Behike line or as mellow as the Siglo I-III range. The 1966 sits right in the sweet spot — medium-full body with enough complexity to keep you engaged. I've made this my regular evening cigar and haven't tired of it after two boxes.
The cabinet box itself is a thing of beauty. And the cigars inside match the packaging — impeccable construction, rich flavors, and a smoothness that only Cohiba achieves. Worth every cent.
The Cohiba 1966 was released to celebrate the brand's founding year, and it's a fitting tribute. The cabinet presentation is gorgeous — that sliding lid reveals perfectly arranged cigars that smell incredible before you even light one. The smoke itself is medium-full, with a complexity that reminds me why Cohiba is the pinnacle of Cuban tobacco. Toasted bread, honeyed almonds, and a long cedar finish. I've smoked Cohibas for 30 years and this stands among the best regular production cigars they've ever made.
