Product Description
Some of the finest Cuban cigars you can lay your hands on! Only the best leaves from 10 farms of the Vuelta Abajo region supply Cohiba brand cigars. Cohiba is also the only Cuban brand with a triple fermentation process to create an exceptionally refined smoke.
The flagship brand of Habanos, Cohiba was created in 1966 for President Fidel Castro himself and was made at the then top-secret – but now world famous – El Laguito factory. At first, it was only seen outside Cuba as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats. But Cohiba was eventually released to the open market in 1982.
The leaves for Cohiba are the “selection of the selection” from the five finest ‘Vegas Finas de Primera’ in the San Juan y Martinez and San Luis zones of the Vuelta Abajo region. And – uniquely amongst Habanos – two of Cohiba’s filler leaves, the seco and the ligero, undergo a third fermentation in barrels, adding smoothness to the blend.
There are four distinct lineas (lines) within the Cohiba brand. The Linea Clasica encompasses several vitolas produced between 1966 and 1989, including what are perhaps the best-known Cohibas: the Esplendido and the Robusto. The Linea 1492 started production in 1992, and includes all six of the Cohiba Siglos. The Linea Maduro 5 was released in 2007, and includes three different sizes with wrapper leaf aged for at least 5 years – the only maduro cigars to come out of Cuba to date. And the fourth series is the Linea Behike, also featured in three different sizes and comprised of some of the finest and rarest tobacco leaf available in Cuba.
All sizes of Cohiba are “totalmente a mano, tripa larga” – totally hand made, long filler.
Please note that, due to crop issues and tobacco shortages in Cuba, not all Cohiba cigars may be available at present time. Please feel free to contact us for an updated inventory list of Cohiba cigars.
