Brand Heritage
Cohiba, the crown jewel of Cuban cigars, boasts a history steeped in prestige and exclusivity. Born in 1966, Cohiba cigars were initially crafted as private smokes for Fidel Castro and high-ranking government officials. Produced at the secretive El Laguito factory in Havana, these cigars quickly gained a reputation for unparalleled quality and flavor.
It wasn’t until 1982 that Cohiba cigars were made available to the public, instantly becoming a symbol of luxury and sophistication. The Siglo series, launched in 1992 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s voyage to the Americas, further solidified Cohiba’s status as a world-class brand. The Siglo VI, introduced in 2002, stands as the flagship robusto of this esteemed line, embodying the perfect balance of flavor, aroma, and construction. The Ceramic Jar edition, debuting around 2010, elevates the experience to a collector’s dream, marrying superior cigars with an elegant presentation.
From world leaders to celebrities and passionate aficionados, Cohiba has captivated the palates of discerning smokers worldwide. Its association with iconic figures like Winston Churchill (though he smoked other brands, the prestige is similar) and its enduring legacy of Cuban cigar mastery have cemented Cohiba’s position as one of the most sought-after and revered cigar brands in the world.

Aging and Collector Value
The **Cohiba Siglo VI** is not only a remarkable cigar to enjoy now but also a prized addition to any collector’s humidor. Its exceptional aging potential allows the flavors to further meld and mature, resulting in an even more refined and complex smoking experience. Cigars aged for 5-10 years often exhibit enhanced creaminess, a reduction in pepperiness, and a more pronounced sweetness, transforming the initial honey and coffee notes into a layered symphony of flavors. Examples from 2006 have demonstrated this beautifully, exhibiting a refined elegance that only time can bestow.
To preserve the oils and prevent drying, maintain the cigars at a consistent humidity of 65-72% RH and a temperature of 18-21°C (65-70°F). The ceramic jar itself provides an excellent humidified environment, but regular monitoring is still recommended. With proper care, the **Cohiba Siglo VI** will continue to evolve and delight for years to come, making it a truly valuable investment for any cigar enthusiast.
