The Taino Indians called cigars or tobacco "Cohiba".


The only brand to go through a special third fermentation process, the Cohiba Cuban cigar is produced from the best leaves on the rich farmlands in Vuelta Abajo Valley in Western Cuba. Created in 1968 and initially rolled for Cuban government officials and foreign diplomats only, the cohiba cigar marks the rebirth of the traditional cuban cigar.


Exclusive and not marketed widely until 1982 when the cohiba cigar was introduced in three ring sizes (Lancer, Corona Especiale and Panetela), three additional sizes were added in 1989 (Esplendido, Robusto and Exquisito). The Siglo series was added in 1992 to commemorate the discovery of Cuba by Christopher Columbus - and the introduction of cigars to the world - 500 years earlier.


Only the finest tobacco leaves are used to create the various types of the spicy, flavourful cohiba cigar. Two different kinds of filler leaves, the Seco and Ligero tobacco are aged eighteen months in cedar wooden barrels and supply superb aroma and slow burning and strength to this King of Cuban cigars.


Truly a noble Cuban cigar, the cohiba cigar is a tribute to the Cuban tradition and fine art of cigar making.
