From 1982 it was offered to the public in three sizes: Lanceros, Coronas Especiales and Panetelas. Three more sizes – Esplendidos, Robustos and Exquisitos – were added in 1989 to complete La Linea Clasica. Then in 1992 the five sizes of La Linea 1492 were announced: Siglo I, II, III, IV and V. Siglo VI was added to the range in 2003. Originally made at El Laguito (vitola name comes from this) factory but no longer (except exquisito) all others are made at Upmann or Partagas. The leaves for Cohiba are the 'selection of the selection' from the five finest plantations in the Vuelta Abajo. Two of the filler leaves – the seco and ligero – undergo a third fermentation unique amongst Havana brands, that adds a smoothness to the blend. Introduced in 1935, Montecristo appeared first in just five sizes described by numbers not names. The other sizes like the ‘A’ and Especiales were added in the early 1970’s. Montecristo’s distinct flavour delighted cigar smokers so much that it has reigned as the most popular Havana for over three decades. Flavour: Medium to Full .
