Cohiba – unique cigars

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

What Cigar Aficionado says

“This medium- to full-bodied cigar is slightly soft at the tip and has a very spicy cedar note with hints of chocolate, coffee and leather, finishing with a spicy and savoury aftertaste. ” Cigar Aficionado, 1 October 2004
