No, Charley, that’s not “15”. In the Cohiba line of super premium cigars, XV means “Extra Vigoroso.” To us Gringos, that means full-bodied, the rich experience akin to sipping a fine aged Brandy or ancient 100 year old Port. Like these pleasures, the Cohiba XV is meant to be savored, smoked slowly in a calm environment, alone or with a close friend, such as when celebrating a spectacular achievement.
The Cohiba XV is the most full-bodied expression of the brand’s uncompromising standards, a cigar that achieves genuine greatness. If there were a Cigar Hall of Fame, this would have to be placed in it. From its dark wrapper of finely aged Ecuadoran Sumatra, to its Connecticut Broadleaf binder, to its blend of Nicaraguan Ligero and Piloto Cubano Ligero, the Cohiba XV is a complete and total smoking experience, a full-bodied cigar that is off the scale. You will not forget this cigar. How many cigars can you truly remember? A new Cohiba consistently ranking among the best, Cohiba Black is a blend that surpasses even Daniel Nuñez’ past achievements. The wrapper is Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro, the binder is top shelf Dominican Piloto Cubano, and the long filler is an exquisite blend of Mexican San Andres and Piloto. Placed in tercios and aged three years, we also have the ultimate Cohiba taste experience.
