About this cigar
Cohiba Medio Siglo — tasting notes and pricing context
The Medio Siglo was added to the Línea 1492 in 2017 to extend the line into the shorter, thicker formats that increasingly dominate the modern Cuban market. At 4 inches by a 52 ring — same dimensions as a Montecristo Petit Edmundo, much thicker than any other Siglo — it's the line's response to demand for a Cohiba-blend cigar in a sub-hour format. The result was an immediate commercial hit and remains one of the most-allocated Cuban SKUs annually.
The smoke is unmistakably Siglo despite the format. First third opens with butter, honey and a faint pastry note; the middle settles into Cohiba's signature creamy cedar with a touch of espresso; the last third delivers a smooth, slightly sweet finish that holds for the full 35 to 45 minutes. Across Europe a box of 25 sits high in the Cohiba pricing band: Noblego runs roughly €1,720, Cigarmust CHF 1,950 (~€2,050 after FX), Spain's licensed estancos around €1,820. The €330 absolute spread is one of the wider gaps in the Cohiba catalogue — the Medio Siglo is also frequently OOS at one or two of the major retailers at any given time, which makes a watchlist back-in-stock alert genuinely useful here.
