Product Presentation: Box of 25
First Third
The slim 26 ring gauge places the wrapper's contribution front and centre from the very first draw. Cedar is immediate and defined, accompanied by a distinctive Cohiba creaminess that seems amplified by the narrow format. A prickle of white pepper on the retrohale provides early complexity, while a faint nuttiness—raw almond—sits in the background. The smoke runs cool despite the thin gauge, a sign of quality construction.
Mid-Section
The midsection sees the cedar evolve into richer, darker wood tones. Coffee appears for the first time, subtle but distinct, adding depth to the creamy foundation. A touch of dark chocolate rounds out the profile at the mid-palate. The strength holds steady at medium, and the burn remains even. This is where the Panetelas proves it carries genuine Cohiba complexity in miniature.
Final Third
The closing draws bring a toasted quality to the cedar and a slight increase in pepper. The cream persists but has dried slightly, and the coffee note darkens. The finish is medium-long, balanced between woody dryness and a residual sweetness. A satisfying conclusion for a 20-to-25-minute smoke.

The Cohiba Panetelas is a Panetela format Cuban cigar measuring 115 mm (4.5") with a 26 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 25 and packs of 5.
A slender, refined expression of the Cohiba blend, the Panetelas delivers the brand's signature character in an intimate, wrapper-forward format. Suited to smokers seeking a quick Cohiba experience or those who enjoy the concentrated intensity that slim gauges provide.
Rolled from select Vuelta Abajo long-filler tobaccos at El Laguito, the Panetelas features a smooth, carefully applied wrapper. The flavour family is medium-bodied, centred on cream, cedar, and a light coffee sweetness. The narrow 26 gauge amplifies the wrapper's contribution and keeps the smoke cool. The draw is focused and the burn even across a compact session of 20 to 25 minutes.

The Panetelas gets overshadowed by flashier Cohibas but it's genuinely excellent. Light, refined, and full of character. A perfect 35-minute smoke that proves you don't need a 60 ring gauge to enjoy great tobacco.
The Cohiba Panetelas is one of the original three vitolas from 1966 and it remains a superb smoke. The slim format concentrates the wrapper flavors beautifully, giving you a more nuanced, delicate experience than the thicker ring gauge cigars. Light cedar, cream, hay, and a whisper of white pepper. I smoke one of these at least once a week, usually in the garden with a cup of Earl Grey. It's a civilized cigar for civilized moments. If you appreciate the panetela format, this is the best one Cuba produces.
