Cohiba Cigars

Cohiba Cigars have been in distribution for nearly 50 years. However, when first made they were Fidel Castro’s personal gift to chosen diplomats. These Cuban cigars weren’t made available to the general public until the early 1980s.

The name “Cohiba” comes from an ancient Taino Indian word used to describe the bundles of tobacco leaves that Columbus first witnessed being smoked by Cuba’s indigenous people – the earliest known form of a Habano.

Cohiba cigars are crafted from the “selection of the selection,” using only the finest leaves from the five top Vegas de Primera plantations in the San Juan y Martínez and San Luis districts of the Vuelta Abajo region. What sets Cohiba apart from other Habanos is that up to three of its filler leaves – the seco, ligero, and the rare medio tiempo – undergo an extra fermentation process in barrels. This distinctive method gives Cohiba its signature aroma and flavour, unmatched by any other cigar.

In fact, these superb cigars are known for their rich and complex flavour profile, offering a smooth and creamy texture with distinct notes of coffee, dark chocolate, leather, and subtle spices. Many Cohiba cigars also feature hints of cedar and earthiness, creating a balanced blend of boldness and refinement. The signature extra fermentation process enhances the depth and aroma, making Cohiba cigars in the UK and around the world both unique and highly sought after.

Cohiba Cigars: The Pinnacle of Cuban Craftsmanship

Initially, the range consisted of only three sizes, the Panatela, the Lanceros and the Corona Especial; this was expanded by three in 1989, the Cohiba Espléndido, the Exquisito and the now legendary Robustos. Today the range is known as the Línea Clásica. In 1992, to commemorate the first sailing of Christopher Columbus, the Línea 1492 was created. Cohiba Siglo I, II, III, IV,V and now VI are enjoyed by the true connoisseur of the finer things in life. In addition, Cohiba fans can enjoy a range of Maduro cigars and recently the exquisite Cohiba Behike has been created. All the tobacco has been aged and cured for a minimum of two years.

To this day Cohiba production is tightly controlled and only 5% of cigars made from Cuba bear the Cohiba marque.
