Cohiba is the top brand of Habanos and one of the most famous cigar brands ever.

It was created in 1966 especially for President Fidel Castro in the factory that was kept top secret at the time but is now world famous El Laguito manufactured. In addition to their own consumption by the Cuban leadership, the Cohibas were exclusively representative gifts for heads of state and diplomats.

Cohiba is an ancient word Taino Indians for the wraps of tobacco leaves smoked by these natives of Cuba. Columbus' report credits these wraps as the first known form of cigar.

The leaves of the Cohiba represent the “selection of the selection” from the five best vegas de primera in the areas San Juan y Martinez and San Luis the tobacco growing zone Vuelta Abajo represents.

It is unique among the Habanos that up to three of the Cohiba's insert sheets, seco, ligero and the very rare one medio tiempo , fermented an additional time in barrels. This unique process creates a special aroma and taste that can only be found in Cohibas.
