Short and sweet: The clip

The cigarillo is ideal for a short but impressive break.

What is the Cohiba Wide Short?

The Wide Short comes in an unusually wide format for cigarillos: 100 mm long with a diameter of 12.5 mm. This means more smoking time, more flavour - and more Cohiba on the go. Despite being machine-made, it remains true to its Cuban roots: the filler, binder and wrapper come entirely from Cuba. It is a so-called „short filler“, also known as mechanically manufactured („mecanizado“).

First impression: bigger = better?

At first glance, the difference to the classic Cohiba Short on. The Wide Short is not only wider, but also looks more present and of higher quality. When lighting up, the tension rises - how will the format affect the flavour?

Full of tobacco flavour!

Tasting notes: Creamy, spicy, Cuban

I tested three of these cigarillos to give you an informed opinion. Here is an overview of my flavour impressions:

• Start: Very creamy smoke, surprisingly soft on entry
• Centre: Earthy notes, accompanied by a pleasant woody warmth
• Seasoning: A subtle pepper note provides balance
• Character: It becomes noticeably more peppery towards the centre - almost „bitchy“
• Final: Full-bodied, with a slightly sweet, earthy finish

The click fastener is practical. It is used for all short products.

This little Cuban clearly has character. Anyone expecting a machine-made cigarillo to taste flat will be pleasantly surprised.

Storage tip for connoisseurs

An insider tip from my humidor: store the Cohiba Wide Shorts a few months at optimum humidity (69-72 %) - their flavour harmonises even further. The creaminess increases, the peppery notes become softer. Storage is definitely worthwhile, as I have experienced myself.

Burning: Above average

For a machine-made product, the Wide Short burns surprisingly cleanly. Only occasionally does a slight wedge burn - but this usually corrects itself. No comparison with cheap cigarillos, which often require annoying corrections.

Who is the Cohiba Wide Short for?

• For habitual smokers: An aromatic companion in everyday life
• For the curious: The ideal starter cigarillo with genuine Cuban character
• For those in a hurry: Perfect for a short break in between
• For connoisseurs: Surprisingly full-bodied despite the small format
