The verdict
The Cohiba Nicaragua N50 is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Cohiba's Nicaragua line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) robusto (n50) wrapped in Honduran Jamastrán (Colorado Oscuro) at 5 in × 50.
On the palate, expect cocoa, espresso, and leather, leaning sweet. Plan on roughly 55 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with espresso, bourbon, and aged rum. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
Cohiba Nicaragua is General Cigar's puro-leaning, full-flavored non-Cuban Cohiba, rolled at the STG Estelí factory in Nicaragua. The N-series names its sizes by ring gauge, so the N50 is the robusto. It's built mostly from Nicaraguan tobacco under a dark, toothy Honduran Jamastrán wrapper, and it's one of the bolder cigars in the non-Cuban Cohiba family.
What it tastes like
This is a medium-to-full smoke with a dark, rich profile: cocoa, espresso, and leather, with cedar, a white-pepper bite, and a hint of dried fruit. The oily oscuro wrapper adds depth and a touch of sweetness. It's more rugged and New World in character than the smooth Dominican Cohibas — closer in spirit to a classic Nicaraguan than to a Havana.
Who it's for
A solid pick for experienced smokers who like bold, Nicaraguan-style cigars. Pair it with an espresso, a bourbon, or an aged rum. Curious how Nicaraguan blends compare to Cuban ones? Our Cuban vs Nicaraguan guide is exactly that.
