Cohiba

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.
Since 1982, “Cohiba” brand cigars have also been available in limited quantities on the open market.

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.

There are four different ones lineas (Lines) of the Cohiba brand: the first is the Línea Clásica , whose six different formats were created between 1966 and 1989. The second, that Línea 1492 , consists of five formats that were launched in 1992 to mark the 500th anniversary of Columbus' long and adventurous voyage of discovery. Ten years later, in 2002, the Linea 1492 expanded to include another format, the Siglo VI.

The Linea Maduro 5 consists of three formats and their cigars are characterized by their very dark wrappers, which are aged for at least five years ( maduro , Spanish for ripe). This line has been around since 2007.

The last one was Linea Behike introduced as Cohiba's most exclusive line. The three formats celebrated their debut in 2010. The insert contains the very rare one medio tiempo- tobacco, the top pair of leaves found only on some of the sun-grown tobacco plants. The medium time brings an exceptionally intense and aromatic taste to the cigar.

Thanks to such innovations, the “Cohiba” brand continues to maintain its leading position among premium cigars to this day. The “Cohiba” brand was the first to release a Reserva in 2002 and then a Gran Reserva in 2009. These cigars were made from tobacco leaves that were specially aged for three or five years.

All formats from Cohiba are Totally a mano, tripa larga – Long fillers made entirely by hand.
