Cohiba Black Pequenos Cigars - 5 Tins of 6 (30 Cigars)

The pocket-sized Cohiba Black for a quick break, at about $3.47 a cigar.

Cohiba Black Pequenos are small, dark Maduro cigars from the Black line of the Cohiba range. Each one is about 4 3/16 inches with a 36 ring gauge, wrapped in aged Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro and hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic. This listing is five tins of six, 30 cigars in total, at $103.99 against a $173.32 list price, which works out to roughly $3.47 per cigar, or $20.80 per tin.

The Black blend gives these little cigars a lot of flavor. Reviewers describe dark, oily Dominican tobacco with earth, spice, coffee, chocolate and leather, a rich, smooth smoke and a clean finish. The strength is medium to full, though most call it smooth rather than harsh. A Pequeno takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes, which makes it the right size for a walk with the dog, a poker night, a coffee break or a moment when two hours is not an option.

Small cigars are harder to roll, and reviewers say so. Many praise the big flavor, the burn and the value, while some report a tight draw, a hot burn in the middle, or the occasional cracked wrapper. Cut with a sharp small cutter and take slow puffs. If you want the same Black flavor in a longer format, the Cohiba Black Corona and Cohiba Black Churchill share the blend.
