Collection: COHIBA

The FlagShip brand or the Johnnie Walker of Cigars, Cohiba was a top-secret project formed in the year 1966 for the long-standing President Fidel Castro himself at present-day the world-famous cigar factory, El Laguito in Havana.  Cohiba was initially meant as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats. The name Cohiba borrowed from an ancient Taino Indian word for the bunches of tobacco leaves. The leaves for Cohiba are the “selection of the selection” from the 5 finest Vegas de Primera in San Juan y Martínez and San Luis districts of the Vuelta Abajo zone. Uniquely amongst Habanos up to three of Cohiba’s filler leaves, the seco, ligero, and the rare Medio Tiempo undergo an additional fermentation in barrels. This unique process produces a special aroma and flavour you will only find in Cohiba.
