Cohiba Cigars Price Guide: Every Line from Siglo to Behike [2026]
Cohiba cigars sit at the top of Cuba’s cigar hierarchy — a brand born in secrecy for Fidel Castro, elevated to diplomatic gift status, and eventually released to the public as the ultimate expression of Cuban tobacco. But that prestige comes at a price.
Whether you’re considering your first Cohiba or building a collection, this Cohiba cigars price guide covers every line from the accessible Siglo series to the rare Behike collection, with current pricing from our inventory.
Cohiba Línea Clásica (Classic Line)
The original Cohiba line established the brand’s identity. These are the cigars that were once reserved for Castro’s inner circle, featuring the traditional Cohiba blend with rich, complex flavor profiles — cedar, coffee, roasted nuts, and a distinctive creaminess that sets Cohiba apart from every other Cuban brand.
| Cigar | Size | Box Price | Per Cigar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cohiba Lanceros | 7½” x 38 | $880 | $35.20 |
| Cohiba Robustos | 4⅞” x 50 | $920 | $36.80 |
| Cohiba Esplendidos | 7″ x 47 | $1,145 | $45.80 |
| Cohiba Panetelas | 4½” x 26 | $584 | $23.36 |
| Cohiba Pirámides Extra | 6¼” x 52 | $1,018 | $40.72 |
The Cohiba Robusto is the most popular choice for those entering the brand — a balanced, medium-full cigar with approximately 45 minutes of smoking time. The Lanceros, a slender 7½-inch format, is considered the purist’s Cohiba and the closest to the original blend created for Castro.
Cohiba Línea 1492 (Siglo Series)
Launched in 1992 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus reaching the Americas, the Siglo series spans six sizes numbered I through VI. Each uses a slightly different blend optimized for its ring gauge, making the series a masterclass in how size affects flavor.
| Cigar | Size | Box Price | Per Cigar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cohiba Siglo I | 4″ x 40 | $798 | $31.92 |
| Cohiba Siglo II | 5⅛” x 42 | $813 | $32.52 |
| Cohiba Siglo III | 6⅛” x 42 | $838 | $33.52 |
| Cohiba Siglo IV | 5⅝” x 46 | $880 | $35.20 |
| Cohiba Siglo V | 6¾” x 43 | $922 | $36.88 |
| Cohiba Siglo VI | 5⅞” x 52 | $955 | $38.20 |
| Cohiba Medio Siglo | 4⅛” x 52 | $852 | $34.08 |
The Cohiba Siglo VI is widely considered one of Cuba’s greatest cigars — a thick, rich, hour-long experience that showcases the full depth of the Cohiba blend. The Siglo II, in the classic Petit Corona format, offers the best value in the Siglo range while delivering the signature Cohiba character.
Cohiba Behike Collection
The Behike is Cohiba’s ultra-premium line, introduced in 2010 with a blend that includes the extremely rare medio tiempo leaf — a priming that develops only on certain tobacco plants under ideal conditions. This leaf adds depth, complexity, and a distinctive sweetness found nowhere else in the Habanos portfolio.
| Cigar | Size | Box of 10 | Per Cigar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cohiba Behike 52 (BHK 52) | 4⅞” x 52 | $1,141 | $114.14 |
| Cohiba Behike 54 (BHK 54) | 5½” x 54 | $1,176 | $117.64 |
| Cohiba Behike 56 (BHK 56) | 6⅝” x 56 | $1,281 | $128.14 |
| Behike Pack (1 each BHK 52, 54, 56) | Mixed | $3,081 | |
The Cohiba Behike 56 is the crown jewel — a thick, powerful 6⅝-inch cigar that delivers layers of dark chocolate, espresso, toasted nuts, and aromatic wood over a 90-minute smoking experience. At roughly $128 per cigar, it’s among the most expensive regular-production Cuban cigars, but for many aficionados it represents the absolute pinnacle of what Cuban tobacco can achieve.
Cohiba Maduro 5 Series
Released in 2007, the Maduro 5 line was Cohiba’s first foray into maduro (dark, fermented) wrappers. The “5” refers to five additional years of wrapper leaf aging, producing a sweet, rich cigar unlike anything else in the Cohiba range.
| Cigar | Size | Box Price | Per Cigar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cohiba Maduro 5 Secretos | 4⅜” x 40 | $657 | $26.30 |
| Cohiba Maduro 5 Mágicos | 4½” x 52 | $1,041 | $41.63 |
| Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios | 5⅝” x 52 | $1,114 | $44.57 |
The Maduro 5 Secretos is the most affordable Cohiba cigar available — an excellent entry point at $26 per cigar. Despite its smaller size, it delivers intense chocolate, brown sugar, and espresso flavors wrapped in a dark, oily wrapper.
Limited Editions and Collector’s Items
Cohiba’s limited editions and special releases represent some of the most collectible cigars in the world. Prices reflect both their quality and scarcity.

What Determines Cohiba Prices?
Several factors influence Cohiba cigar prices:
- Tobacco selection — Cohiba uses leaves exclusively from the finest vegas (farms) in Vuelta Abajo, with additional rounds of selection that reject a large percentage of tobacco
- Extra fermentation — Cohiba tobacco undergoes a third fermentation process unique to the brand, adding complexity and refinement
- Medio tiempo leaf — The Behike line uses this extremely rare priming, which develops on less than 10% of tobacco plants
- Ring gauge and length — Larger cigars use more tobacco and cost more to produce
- Limited availability — Special editions and Gran Reserva releases command premium prices due to scarcity
Best Value Cohiba Cigars
Not every Cohiba requires a three-figure budget. Here are the best entry points:

- Cohiba Panetelas ($23/cigar) — Slim, elegant, and surprisingly affordable
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Cohiba cigar cost?
Cohiba cigars range from approximately $23 per cigar (Panetelas) to over $128 per cigar (Behike 56) for regular production lines. Limited editions and collector’s items can reach thousands of dollars per box. A typical box of 25 Cohiba Robustos costs around $920.
Why are Cohiba cigars so expensive?
Cohiba uses the most meticulously selected tobacco from Vuelta Abajo, undergoes an exclusive third fermentation process, and maintains the strictest quality control of any Cuban brand. The Behike line adds the ultra-rare medio tiempo leaf, and limited editions gain value from scarcity and collectibility.
What is the best Cohiba cigar to try first?
The Cohiba Siglo II is the classic introduction — a well-balanced Petit Corona that delivers signature Cohiba flavor in a manageable 30-minute format at around $33. For those who prefer a bolder experience, the Cohiba Robusto offers more intensity and complexity.
What is the difference between Cohiba Siglo and Behike?
The Siglo series uses Cohiba’s traditional blend of seco, volado, and ligero leaves. The Behike adds the rare medio tiempo leaf, creating a richer, more complex profile with additional sweetness and depth. Behike cigars are thicker (52-56 ring gauge) and cost roughly three times more per cigar than comparable Siglos.
Are Cohiba cigars worth the price?
For Cuban cigar enthusiasts, Cohiba represents the pinnacle of what Havana has to offer. The quality of tobacco, unique triple fermentation, and consistent construction justify the premium for most aficionados. The Siglo series offers the best balance of Cohiba quality and value, while the Behike is reserved for special occasions.
