This is the ninth Limited Edition from Cohiba and features a unique “Victoria” vitola, measuring 5 7/8 inches (150 mm) in length with an impressive 57 ring gauge - the second widest Limited Edition Cohiba ever made, with only the 2014 Cohiba Robusto Supremos being a single ring gauge point heavier.

As with all previous Cohiba Limited Editions, the 55 Aniversario is a much sought-after addition to the collection of cigar aficionados around the world.

Cohiba was established in the 1960s as a private brand for Fidel Castro and high-ranking Cuban officials. The name “Cohiba” comes from the Taino word for tobacco, reflecting the island’s indigenous heritage. Initially, Cohiba cigars were not available to the public and were reserved for diplomatic gifts and government use. Their exclusivity and quality quickly made them a symbol of luxury and status. The brand was officially launched for public sale in 1982, with the Línea Clásica. The Línea 1492, including the Siglo I, debuted in 1992 to mark Columbus’s quincentenary. Cohiba is known for its unique production process, including an extra barrel fermentation for the filler leaves, which imparts a distinctive smoothness and aroma found only in Cohiba cigars. Today, Cohiba is the flagship brand of Habanos S.A., recognized worldwide for its quality, innovation, and association with Cuban heritage and prestige.
