Rows in grey were last read more than 60 days ago: they are history, not quotes, and never count as the cheapest. Listed price for the box of 25 in the retailer's own currency, their own tax included. A box crossing a border picks up destination duty and VAT on top — the "duty paid EU" mark shows the few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market.

The piece

The youngest Siglo. A 40-minute thick-ring vitola that delivers the Línea 1492 honeyed profile in a Petit Edmundo format.

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.

    Prices and stock move. Save a price alert and we email you when any retailer drops below your target or the box comes back in stock.

  • Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?

    Only if you live where the retailer is. Every price on this page is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) in the retailer's home country and nowhere else. Buy from a German retailer to a German address and what you see is what you pay. Buy across a border — a Swiss retailer shipping into the EU, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Ireland — and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise and VAT on arrival. How much depends on the destination's excise rate; our import-duty guide walks through the main markets.

    The few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market carry a "duty paid EU" mark in the table.

  • How does Cohiba Medio Siglo compare to other Cohiba cigars?

    Cohiba Medio Siglo is a Petit Edmundo, ring 52, 102 mm, medium strength, sold in a box of 25. The other Cohiba vitolas on the board, each with its own price page, are Cohiba Robustos, Cohiba Behike 52, Cohiba Siglo IV, Cohiba Espléndidos. Per-cigar price is the fair way to compare them: box sizes differ.

  • Is the price for Cohiba Medio Siglo likely to drop?

    Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.

    Short-term, prices move at the retailer level — promotions, clearance, a restock at a different price. Where we have a history, the 90-day line on this page shows what the cheapest box in Europe has actually done. A price alert with no target emails you on any drop; setting a target limits it to your budget.
