Cohiba is the flagship brand of Habanos.
It was created in 1966 for President Fidel Castro himself and was made at the then top secret, but now world famous, El LLaguito factory. At first, it was only seen outside Cuba as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats.
Since 1982 Cohiba has been available in limited quantities to the open market.
The name is an ancient Taino Indian word for the bunches of tobacco leaves that Columbus first saw being smoked by the original inhabitants of Cuba – the earliest known form of a Habano.
The leaves for Cohiba are the “selection of selection” from the 5 finest Vegas de Primera in San Juan y Martinez 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.

Arguably the best cigar to have come out of Cuba since the Millennium the Cohiba Siglo VI has a totally unique size or vitola known as the “Canonazo” or canon reserved solely for this prince of Cohibas. Since it was launched in the summer of 2003 it has become “the” cigar with which to celebrate life by virtue of its awesome appeal. It is positively “moor-ish”. Stronger than a regular Siglo series with an almost peppery overtone. The flavour and strength of the cigar aligned to its superb combustion and size impart a sense of luxury. One is savouring Cuban tobacco at its very best with all the subtle nuance of taste and aroma for which Havanas are famous. By general consensus worth every penny you pay for the privilege !
