PADRON SERIE 1926 NO. 1 Crowned top cigar in 2004. This cigar delivers a complex flavor of luscious creams, chocolates, coffee beans, and leathers. Making this cigar a full-bodied beauty queen. 1. COHIBA ESPLENDIDO The Cohiba cigar was conceived by Che Guevara himself as a super-premium cigar strictly reserved for Fidel, his buddies, and world dignitaries. Only women roll them and for many years only the most powerful people smoked them. When released to the public in 1982, Cohibas were an instant sensation and have grown in popularity over the past decades. Appreciated by the elite and novice, the Cuban Cohiba surrounds your senses with a feeling of grandeur and elegance in every draw. *Cuban cigars are no longer illegal in the U.S. if they are bought in Cuba and brought home for personal use. They still cannot be sold in the U.S. nor purchased over the Internet or while in a third country (like Canada or Mexico).
