Cohiba Spectre 2022 Toro

COHIBA SPECTRE 2022

Cohiba Spectre, arguably the flagship cigar from General Cigar Co., has been released in 2018, 2019 and 2021—each time using a different blend. The Cohiba Spectre 2022 is a 6 x 52 toro that uses a Brazilian wrapper, the first time General Cigar Co. has used a Brazilian wrapper for Cohiba. Underneath that is an even more obscure tobacco: a hybrid of pelo de oro, a Cuban-seed varietal, and Connecticut-seed tobacco that was grown in Mao, Dominican Republic. Because of its propensity to develop mold, pelo de oro is no longer grown in Cuba but has been grown in other countries, oftentimes capitalizing on the idea that its growth is banned in Cuba. General Cigar Co. says this hybrid is a proprietary seed for the company.

The filler blend includes Dominican piloto cubano, three leaves from Honduras—Jamastran, La Entrada and Olancho San Agustin—along with viso and ligero from Estelí, Nicaragua.
