Cohiba Cigars

Cohiba cigars have been in distribution for nearly 50 years, though they began as Fidel Castro’s personal gift to chosen diplomats before becoming available to the public in the early 1980s. The name “Cohiba” comes from an ancient Taino Indian word for the tobacco bundles that Columbus first witnessed being smoked by Cuba’s indigenous people.

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 is 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.

What truly distinguishes Cohiba is its unique production: up to three filler leaves (seco, ligero, and medio tiempo) undergo additional barrel fermentation, creating their signature profile of coffee, dark chocolate, leather, and subtle spices, balanced with cedar and earthiness. This meticulous process results in a smooth, creamy texture with unparalleled complexity.
