Cohiba Nicaragua
Cohiba Nicaragua doesn’t rush or stall; it just comes to life, breathes a little, and gives you enough smoke to know you’re in the right place. It sends up just enough scent to remind you why you lit a cigar instead of doing one more thing on your list. Whatever was buzzing around in your head a few minutes ago starts to slide off to the sides.
