Product Presentation: Box of 10
First Third:
The opening is characterized by a refined elegance, offering initial notes of dry wood and toasted nuts. A distinct grassy freshness typical of the brand is present, but it is quickly supported by a creamy sweetness and a hint of citrus zest. The draw is effortless, producing a cool, aromatic smoke that sets a sophisticated tone.
Mid-Section:
As the cigar progresses, the body intensifies gracefully. The medio tiempo leaves begin to assert their influence, introducing complex layers of leather, cedar, and roasted coffee beans. A subtle spiciness emerges on the retro-hale, reminiscent of black pepper and cinnamon, perfectly balancing the inherent sweetness of the blend. The combustion is razor-sharp, holding a firm ash that speaks to its superior construction.
Final Third:
The finale is robust and deeply satisfying. Earthy tones blend with rich cocoa and a lingering honeyed finish. The strength remains full but never overwhelming, maintaining a smoothness that allows the intricate flavor nuances to shine until the very last draw.

Cohiba, established in 1966, has long served as the standard-bearer for Cuban cigar excellence, originally reserved exclusively for heads of state and diplomats. The 55 Aniversario pays homage to this heritage while showcasing the modern capabilities of the El Laguito factory. The introduction of the 'Victoria' vitola—a 150mm by 54 ring gauge format—was a deliberate choice to provide a lengthy canvas for the brand's signature complexity. This release is particularly significant as it highlights the use of medio tiempo leaves, a rare ingredient harvested from the top of the sun-grown tobacco plant, reserved only for the most premium productions. This cigar is not merely a smoking product; it is a tangible piece of the brand's 55-year journey from diplomatic gift to global icon.

The Cohiba 55 Aniversario is a 2021 Limited Edition Cuban cigar featuring the exclusive Victoria vitola, created specifically for this release to commemorate the 55th anniversary of Cohiba's establishment in 1966. It incorporates the prized Medio Tiempo leaf and is presented in boxes of 10.
Crafted at El Laguito for the seasoned aficionado, this medium-to-full cigar delivers richness and complexity through a grand smoking format. The Victoria vitola offers an extended session suited to collectors and those who mark significant occasions with appropriately significant cigars.
The wrapper is flawless — smooth, oily, and virtually veinless, reflecting the highest standards of leaf selection at El Laguito. The overall profile delivers cream, cedar, leather, roasted almonds, espresso, and dark chocolate, with the Medio Tiempo leaf contributing a distinctive sweetness and depth that no other regular-production cigar can claim. The draw is effortless and cool, producing thick, aromatic clouds, and the transitions between flavour elements are seamless. A measured black pepper note provides structure, and the finish is long and satisfying. The construction is impeccable throughout. Due to limited production, the 55 Aniversario remains scarce in the global market.

Both beautiful and delicious. The packaging alone makes it worth collecting, but then you light one and realize the cigar itself might be even more impressive than the presentation. Bravo, Cohiba.
Anniversary releases can be hit or miss but the 55 Aniversario is all hit. Complex, smooth, and beautifully made. Smoked one at a friend's birthday dinner and it was the highlight of the evening.
The unusual vitola threw me at first but after the first few puffs I was sold. Packs tremendous flavor into a compact package. A real conversation piece when you pull one out at the cigar lounge.
The Cohiba 55 Aniversario was released to mark 55 years of the Cohiba brand and it's a stunner. The unique vitola — a short, thick format — concentrates an incredible amount of flavor into every puff. Rich earth, dark honey, roasted coffee beans, and a creamy sweetness that ties it all together. The band and box are gorgeous too. I bought two boxes — one to smoke, one to hold as an investment. Both seem like smart decisions. This is one of the best anniversary edition Cuban cigars Habanos has produced.
