Cohiba is the most prestigious and recognized brand in the cigars world and in 2021 it celebrated its 55th anniversary.  Synonymous with exclusivity, of the highest quality, but also of something beyond the senses, a unique experience for cigar lovers and considered the best tobacco in the world.

Created in 1966 and for many years solely intended as a gift to government personalities, national and foreign, and of course to President Fidel Castro. Since then, it has been manufactured in the prestigious El Laguito factory in Havana.

Since 1982, the year in which it is presented in different countries, Cohiba has been available to be enjoyed by the world’s most demanding smokers in limited quantities.

The name “Cohiba” is an old word used by the Taíno Indians, original inhabitants of the Island, to define the rolled tobacco leaves that these Indians smoked, and that Christopher Columbus saw for the first time in Cuba in 1492. Cohiba is for hence the first name of tobacco. 

It is the most prestigious brand in the tobacco world, the elite of Habanos. The leaves used in its preparation are “the selection of the selection” of the best vegas of “San Juan y Martínez” and “San Luis”, in the “Vuelta Abajo” area of the “Pinar del Río” region, Cuba. All Habanos under the brand Cohiba are “Totalmente hecho a mano”.

Cohiba is the only Habanos brand in which two of the three types of leaves used to make it, dry and light, undergo additional fermentation. This special treatment gives Cohiba an unmistakable aroma and flavor, which cannot be found in any other brand.
