How about a little distraction from current Habanos woes?? 😁
Set aside all the issues Habanos has with price hikes, tobacco crop and overall product shortages, etc. Pretend things are somewhat normal in Habanos world. If you could add one cigar to a specific marca; what would it be? Why would you want it? What about it appeals to you? Why does the marca need this cigar?
I'll go first. This has been on my mind for a while. I think the cigar the must be made is a Cohiba Perfecto. As the flagship brand it should have the most classic of cigar shapes in its' lineup. The leaf set aside for Cohiba would surely be an improvement over anything in the Cuaba lineup which IMO is just silly with all the different sized perfectos. Outside of Cuaba, there aren't really many perfectos left. Since the vitola requires expert rollers, the appeal of one in the Cohiba lineup makes sense. And, perhaps it could lead to the axing of Cuaba. Which I would personally not miss. I do enjoy a few cigars in the lineup but the marca has very little mindshare with me overall.
The Cohiba Perfecto, should have a strong/bold blend and come in 10 counts if longer than a Churchill or cabinets of 25/50 if the RG were ~ 40/42 and the length shy of 5 inches. Here's a mockup I did a while back for fun.
So, what is your candidate for a cigar Habanos must make?
