Welcome to one of the most refined and consistent expressions of Cuban cigar craftsmanship available today: the Cohiba Siglo III Tubos single. Presented in a protective aluminium tube, this elegant Corona Grande offers the perfect balance of prestige, flavour complexity and everyday enjoyment for the discerning UK smoker.
If you are searching for a genuine Cuban cigar that delivers the legendary Cohiba experience without the commitment of a full box, this single Cohiba Siglo III Tubos is an outstanding choice. It is ideal for a special occasion, a thoughtful gift, or simply treating yourself to one of the world’s most respected medium-bodied smokes.
Cohiba is not just another Cuban cigar brand. It is the flagship of Habanos S.A. and remains the ultimate symbol of Cuban excellence. Created in 1966 exclusively for President Fidel Castro and high-ranking Cuban officials, the brand was originally produced in complete secrecy at the now world-famous El Laguito factory in Havana. For many years these cigars were reserved solely for diplomatic gifts and the Cuban elite. Only in 1982 was Cohiba finally released to the public, instantly establishing itself as the most prestigious name in the world of Cuban cigars.
The name itself carries deep historical meaning. “Cohiba” is derived from the ancient Taíno Indian word used to describe the early rolls of tobacco leaves that Christopher Columbus first observed when he arrived in Cuba. That connection to the very origins of cigar smoking lives on in every leaf selected for a modern Cohiba.
The Cohiba Siglo III belongs to the celebrated Línea 1492 (also known as the Siglo series), launched in 1992 to mark the 500th anniversary of Columbus’s voyage. Within this range the Siglo III has earned a special reputation as the “sweet spot” – large enough to deliver complexity and a satisfying 45–50 minute smoke, yet refined and approachable enough to be enjoyed at any time of day.
What truly sets every Cohiba apart from other Cuban cigars is its exclusive production process. While most Havana brands use two fermentations, Cohiba subjects selected filler leaves — the seco, ligero, and the rare medio tiempo — to a third fermentation in wooden barrels. This additional step, unique to the brand, removes any remaining harshness, enhances smoothness, and develops the deep, multi-layered aromas for which Cohiba is famous.
All the tobacco used in the Cohiba Siglo III Tubos comes from the finest Vegas de Primera (first-class plantations) in the San Juan y Martínez and San Luis districts of the legendary Vuelta Abajo region — widely regarded as the best tobacco-growing soil on earth. Only the absolute highest quality leaves are chosen, then aged and blended by master blenders before being handed to the skilled torcedores (rollers) who create each cigar by hand.
The result is a cigar of exceptional consistency, construction and flavour.
The aluminium tube not only looks elegant but also protects the cigar perfectly during storage and travel, keeping humidity levels stable and preserving the delicate flavours until the moment you are ready to light it.
First Third The Cohiba Siglo III Tubos opens with a smooth, creamy character. Immediate notes of sweet cedar, toasted almonds and a gentle honeyed sweetness greet the palate. There is a light grassy earthiness underneath — classic Cuban “twang” — but it remains refined and never aggressive. The draw is slightly firm yet comfortable, producing a steady stream of aromatic smoke. The burn is typically even and requires little attention.
Second Third As the cigar progresses, the creaminess remains but is joined by richer, more complex layers. Roasted coffee, dry cocoa powder, toasted nuts and a soft leather note begin to emerge. A subtle spice (think light nutmeg or white pepper) appears on the retrohale without ever becoming sharp. The body stays firmly in the medium range, making this an excellent morning or early afternoon cigar for many enthusiasts. The construction continues to impress with a firm ash and consistent burn line.
Final Third In the last third the Cohiba Siglo III reaches its most satisfying expression. Darker coffee, rich cocoa, seasoned cedar and a warm leather character dominate, balanced by a lingering creamy sweetness. Some smokers also detect a faint liquorice or caramel note on the finish. The strength remains medium throughout, ending clean and elegant rather than harsh. The aftertaste is long, refined and thoroughly enjoyable.
Overall this is a beautifully balanced medium-bodied Cuban cigar that showcases everything that makes the Cohiba brand special: smoothness, complexity, and an unmistakable sense of luxury.
The Cohiba Siglo III Tubos pairs exceptionally well with:
These pairings complement the cedar, coffee, cocoa and creamy notes perfectly.
