Cohiba Spectre 7"1/4 * 54

As far as cigar brands go, there are few, if any, that have as much of a reputation as Cohiba. The Cohiba Spectre is an ultra-premium cigar in every single way, largely due to its use of top-shelf Dominican tobacco from 1995, Nicaraguan tobacco from 2011-2014, and three distinct Honduran tobaccos dating back as far as 2011. Factor in the remarkably classy presentation, extremely limited production and, yes, price tag, and this elegant Churchill will be one smoke you'll surely be lighting up on a very, very special occasion.

  Cohiba Spectre

  Like a vintage wine, tobacco only gets better with time. The Cohiba Spectre is what happens when fine tobacco is allowed to age properly. Starting with the filler. At its center is a Dominican Piloto Cubano leaf which has been aged when it was harvested in 1995. It is surrounded by a variety of leaves from Estelí, Nicaragua that have been aged from 2011 – 2014 in Spanish sherry barrels. The filler is completed with Honduran leaves from three distinct regions: Olancho San Agustin, aged since 2002, Jamastran Valley, and La Entrada, both aged since 2011. All of it is draped by a reddish Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. But that’s not enough! Keeping with the aging theme, the Cohiba Spectre is handmade by a single buncher and a single roller both with a combined experience that spans five decades. The Cohiba Spectre is a medium-strength premium cigar that will definitely make a timeless addition to the most discerning aficionado’s humidor.
