As the lunar calendar ushers in the auspicious Year of the Dragon, Habanos S.A., the renowned purveyor of premium cigars, presents a tribute befitting the occasion: the Cohiba Tributo humidors, a limited series crafted exclusively for the discerning aficionados of the Asian market. This celebration marries the timeless allure of Cohiba with the majestic symbolism of the dragon, resulting in a fusion of luxury, tradition, and craftsmanship.
In a nod to exclusivity, only 128 of these meticulously designed humidors will be available, each meticulously numbered to underscore its rarity. Nestled within these elegant cases lie 55 Cohiba Lanceros, a vitola revered for its finesse and distinction. Crafted entirely by hand with long filler tobacco sourced from the storied plantations of Vuelta Abajo in Pinar del Río, Cuba, these cigars embody the essence of Cohiba’s legacy.
The Cohiba Lanceros, with dimensions of 38 ring gauge x 192 mm length, are meticulously rolled at the esteemed El Laguito factory, bearing the iconic Cohiba band alongside a bespoke foot band adorned with resplendent golden dragons—an homage to the Year of the Dragon and a testament to the artistry of Cuban cigar making.
The humidors themselves are masterpieces of craftsmanship, meticulously fashioned by the skilled artisans of Elie Bleu, the renowned French workshop synonymous with luxury and refinement. Each humidor, crafted from premium hardwoods, boasts an exquisite white ebony cover embellished with two regal golden dragons—a visual symphony that captures the essence of elegance and exclusivity.
José María López Inchaurbe and Jorge Pérez Martel, Vice Presidents of Development and Commercial Affairs at Habanos, S.A., underscore the significance of the Chinese market in their decision to collaborate with Cohiba and Elie Bleu, affirming their commitment to delivering unparalleled quality and beauty to aficionados across Asia.
The Cohiba Tributo Lanceros, characterized by a medium to strong strength profile, offer a sensory journey marked by notes of roasted flavors, black pepper, and wood—a harmonious blend that epitomizes the essence of Cohiba’s Línea Clásica. Paired with fine Cuban rums or whiskies, these cigars invite enthusiasts to savor moments of indulgence and contemplation.
