General Cigar Company’s Cohiba brand continues to set the mark for super-premium smokes and the cigar-making team has raised the bar once again with the ultra-premium limited edition Cohiba Spectre. With a five-country blend of eight types of tobacco, the Cohiba Spectre is intensely flavorful and complex, not to mention the most expensive Cohiba to date with a suggested retail of $90.
Each Cohiba Spectre is crafted by a single two-man team of cigar masters who use 1995 vintage tercio-aged Dominican Piloto tobaccos joined with vintage 2002 San Augustin, 2011 Jamastran and 2011 La Entrada tobaccos from Nicaragua, as well as vintage 2011 and 2014 Nicaraguan Esteli leaves aged in Spanish Sherry casks to form the filler. A Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a reddish-hued high-priming Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper round out the cigar.
The Cohiba Spectre is offered in only a 7 ¼” x 54 size and is limited to only 180 luxurious red and silver circular boxes of 10 red plexiglass-tubed cigars.
