Few cigars deliver such prestige, making the Cohiba Siglo V 30 Aniversario Jar one of the most sought-after commemorative releases in Cuban cigar history. Unveiled in 1996, this exceptional collection was created to honor three decades of the Cohiba brand, which had established itself as Cuba's premier cigar line since its introduction in 1966.
A Milestone Celebration

The 30 Aniversario release featured the Siglo V vitola in a stunning presentation format that would appeal to serious collectors and enthusiasts alike. This release helped establish the tradition of anniversary celebrations that Cohiba would continue in subsequent decades.
The Dalia Vitola
The Siglo V represents the Dalia format in Cuban cigar nomenclature. This elegant size offers smokers a substantial yet refined experience, with dimensions that allow for complex flavor development throughout the smoking session. The format has become one of the most respected in the Cohiba Siglo line.
