The Cohiba Novedosos, first officially presented during Cohiba’s 55th anniversary in Havana in September 2022, is a Casa del Habano exclusive that showcases refinement and depth. Though long anticipated, its debut was worth the wait—delivering a smoking experience rich in both flavor and poise.
The first third opens with a wave of toasted almond, carried by smooth, well-ventilated smoke that immediately sets a sophisticated tone. As the cigar progresses into the second third, the flavor profile shifts gently toward dried fruits—peanut and walnut—while the strength builds with quiet confidence.
In the final third, the Novedosos maintains its composure, offering a smooth, unaggressive close. A subtle hint of vanilla emerges at the end, adding an elegant and unexpected flourish.
Though slightly more restrained than the earliest prototypes once previewed, the Cohiba Novedosos stands as a poised and promising vitola—one that’s destined to become a classic with a few years of proper aging.
