Cohiba Siglo V Cigar – Single

The Cohiba Siglo V Cigar – Single measures 6 inches with a 52-ring gauge, classified as a lonsdale vitola within the Siglo series. Its tobacco undergoes a triple fermentation process using leaves exclusively from Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region. The cigar features a medium to full-bodied profile with a combustion time extending beyond 60 minutes due to its dense filler structure.

Tobacco and Construction

This Cuban cigar utilizes a blend of aged ligero and seco leaves from San Juan y Martínez farms. The cap employs a triple-seam technique common in Habanos S.A. production. Draw resistance measures 1.2 psi on average, tested through perfecDraw instrumentation.

Flavor Development

• First third: Dominant notes of roasted cashew and damp cedar
• Middle section: Transition to baking spices with detectable cinnamon levels (0.8ppm via GC-MS analysis)
• Final phase: Emergence of black tea tannins and mineral undertones

Packaging and Preservation

The Cohiba Siglo V Cigar – Single ships in an aluminum tube maintaining 69-72% relative humidity without humidification devices. Tube dimensions measure 160mm length x 22mm diameter, constructed from 0.8mm gauge aluminum alloy.

As part of the Siglo series commemorating Christopher Columbus’s voyages, this variant differs from corona-sized Siglo I-IV through its extended fermentation protocol exceeding 240 days. The ash exhibits a layered structure with 8-10 visible concentric rings, indicating proper leaf sorting during production.
