COHIBA SHORT (10)

The Cohiba Short is a widely popular, machine-made Cuban cigarillo that perfectly captures the prestige and flavor profile of Cohiba in a highly convenient format. Introduced by Habanos S.A. to give enthusiasts a middle ground between the thin, rapid-smoking Mini or Club formats and a traditional hand-rolled cigar, the Short boasts a slightly more generous ring gauge that yields a significantly cooler and more voluminous smoke output.

Like its family members, the Cohiba Short is machine-crafted using 100% premium Cuban tobacco leaf clippings sourced from the elite plantations of the Vuelta Abajo region. They are sold in innovative “flip-top” packs, with each cigarillo individually wrapped in protective cellophane to preserve humidity. They arrive pre-cut and require no clipping before enjoyment.

Vital Statistics & Composition

Flavor Profile & Taste Experience

The Cohiba Short packs an impressive amount of the brand’s legendary, complex DNA into a swift smoking experience:

• The Opening: Lights up easily and immediately releases a thick, highly aromatic smoke. Early notes are characterized by a classic Cuban cedar woodiness and a crisp undercurrent of white pepper.

• The Mid-Section: Smooths out quickly as the signature Cohiba profile emerges. Distinct notes of grassy sweetness, fresh hay, and rich, creamy leather coat the palate.

• The Finish: Intensifies pleasantly in the final minutes. The flavor deepens into heavier notes of roasted coffee beans, dark earth, and a lingering, warm spice that remains remarkably balanced for a short smoke.

Perfect Pairings

The swift but intensely flavorful nature of the Cohiba Short makes it the quintessential companion for short breaks. It pairs wonderfully with a standard espresso or a bold cortado, which effortlessly mirrors the cigarillo’s creamy, roasted coffee undertones. For an alcoholic alternative, a premium Cuban rum aged 7 years or longer or a smooth, neat Cognac offers a rich, decadent contrast to the earthy spice of the tobacco.
