Cohiba - unique cigars

Even the term Cohiba is unique, as it is not a word of Spanish origin, but a loan word from the indigenous Taíno Indians and refers to the wrapper of the tobacco leaves. Many different characteristics make a Cohiba cigar the most exclusive of Habanos. Firstly, there is the origin of the leaves - they come exclusively from the five best Vegas de Primera from the Vuelta Abajo tobacco-growing region, specifically from the San Juan y Martínez and San Luis areas. Another unique feature for a Cohiba is the - third - fermentation of two of the three filler leaves - this gives the Cohiba its irresistible aroma and inimitable flavour.
