While most of the attention at the Festival del Habano XVIII was on the Cohiba 50 Aniversario, a limited edition and massive 7 x 60 cigar that will come in highly-limited humidors featuring a 24-karat gold-plated tobacco leaf on the outside, there was another limited edition, large Cohiba that will come in a humidor: the Cohiba Majestuosos 1966. Unlike the 50 Aniversario, attendees of the gala dinner were actually given a chance to smoke the Majestuosos. The cigar shares at least part of its name with the Cohiba 1966, an Edición Limitada released in late 2011. That cigar measured 166mm (6 1/2 inches) x 52, whereas the Majestuosos is a totally new vitola that continues both Habanos S.A.’s and its Cohiba brand’s continued expansion into the larger ring gauge segment. It measures 150mm (5 9/10 inches) x 58. It carries the standard Cohiba main band along with a fairly large 50th anniversary secondary band. Production is limited to 1,966 humidors of 20 cigars.
