COHIBA WIDE SHORT (6)

Description

The Cohiba Wide Short is a premium, machine-made Cuban cigarillo that bridges the gap between a small quick-smoke and a traditional hand-rolled cigar. Released as an upscale extension to the wildly popular Cohiba Short, the Wide Short features a significantly thicker ring gauge. This wider format allows for a much cooler burn, a smoother draw, and a more complex, voluminous smoke output.

Crafted by Internacional Cubana de Tabacos under license from Habanos S.A., it is made with 100% premium Cuban tobacco leaf clippings sourced from the legendary Vuelta Abajo region. Each cigarillo comes individually wrapped in cellophane to preserve freshness and features the iconic Cohiba band, complete with its secure holographic Taino Indian head. They are pre-cut and ready to enjoy straight out of the box.

Vital Statistics & Composition

Flavor Profile & Taste Experience

The wider 31 ring gauge allows the classic Cohiba blend to express its richer, deeper characteristics without turning bitter or overheating too quickly:

• The Opening: Lights up with an instant burst of smooth, creamy smoke. Initial flavors are defined by a rich, natural tobacco sweetness, cedar wood, and a soft touch of white pepper.

• The Mid-Section: The signature Cohiba DNA dominates. A beautiful, distinct note of fresh hay and grass emerges, underscored by a toasted nuttiness (like roasted cashews) and a thick, velvety texture.

• The Finish: The strength builds slightly toward the end, introducing darker notes of black coffee and rich earth. The finish remains smooth, creamy, and deeply aromatic.

Perfect Pairings

The Cohiba Wide Short’s intense yet relatively brief smoking time makes it an excellent companion for a mid-day coffee break or a sophisticated pre-dinner aperitif. It pairs spectacularly with a double espresso, a ristretto, or a smooth café con leche, which coaxes out the cigarillo’s creamy, nutty undertones. For an alcoholic option, a neat pour of an aged Cuban rum (like Havana Club 7 Year) or a glass of dry Champagne provides a beautiful, clean contrast to the smoke’s earthy richness.
