About the Cedar Petaca – 5 Cohiba Majestuosos 50 Anniversary
Cohiba created the Majestuosos 1966 to mark its fiftieth anniversary in 2016, and few releases carry the same weight of history. The Majestuosos vitola was designed exclusively for this occasion, a format that appears nowhere else in the Cohiba portfolio or the wider Habanos range. Measuring 5.9 inches with a commanding 58 ring gauge, it was first presented in a strictly limited humidor of 1,966 numbered cases, each holding twenty cigars. This cedar petaca offers five of those celebrated Habanos in a more accessible sleeve, letting you experience a piece of Cohiba lore without committing to a full humidor. The leaves are drawn from the prized vegas of the Vuelta Abajo region in Pinar del Rio, the heartland of Cuban tobacco.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans on the signature Cohiba house character, with cedar and a creamy sweetness setting an elegant tone beneath the Colorado Claro wrapper. As the cigar settles into its middle stretch, cocoa and coffee notes deepen while a gentle earthiness and soft spice begin to weave through the smoke. The final third grows richer and more layered, pulling in touches of leather and a fuller body that rewards an unhurried pace. Throughout, the broad ring gauge produces a cool, generous draw that keeps the flavors rounded rather than sharp.
Pairings
An aged Cuban rum, whose dark sugar and oak echo the cigar’s cocoa and cedar.
A lightly peated single malt Scotch to lift the leather and spice in the later thirds.
A strong espresso or Cuban coffee for an afternoon smoke that mirrors the natural coffee tones.
Aging and storage
Hold this cigar at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius, or 64 to 66 Fahrenheit, in a well seasoned humidor. A cigar of this pedigree responds beautifully to patience, and time tends to marry its cream, cocoa, and cedar into a smoother, more harmonious whole. The 58 ring gauge means it appreciates a slow, steady environment rather than rapid swings, so a stable humidor or a reliable electronic control is ideal for long term keeping.
Who it is for
This is a release for the dedicated Cohiba follower and the collector who values rarity as much as flavor. The substantial format and medium-to-full intensity suit a seasoned palate that enjoys depth and a leisurely smoking session, so it is best reserved for an occasion that deserves something memorable. Newcomers may find the ring gauge and richness demanding, while enthusiasts will recognise a genuinely commemorative Habanos worth savoring.
