WIDE SHORT
The most recent addition to the Cuban Minis portfolio’s is the Cohiba Wide Short. Graet with a Strong Coffee. Made in Havana at the ITC factory these new Cohibas are made by machine using the same blend of tobaccos as their handmade counterparts.
Presented in the famous yellow and black of Cohiba the Wide Shorts are wider and longer than the standard Shorts, launched in 2016.
With a smoking time of around 20 minutes they provide the opportunity to enjoy a brief, and affordable, taste of the finest Cuban tobacco in the world.
Cohiba is the flagship brand of Habanos.
It was created in 1966 for President Fidel Castro himself and was made at the then top secret, but now world famous, El LLaguito factory. At first, it was only seen outside Cuba as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats.
Since 1982 Cohiba has been available in limited quantities to the open market.
The name is an ancient Taino Indian word for the bunches of tobacco leaves that Columbus first saw being smoked by the original inhabitants of Cuba - the earliest known form of a Habano.
The leaves for Cohiba are the "selection of selection" from the 5 finest Vegas de Primera in San Juan y Martinez and San Luis districts of the Vuelta Abajo zone.
Uniquely amongst Habanos up to three of Cohiba's filler leaves , the seco, ligero and the rare medio tiempo, undergo an additional fermentation in barrels. This unique process produces a special aroma and flavour you will only find in Cohiba.
