Cohiba – unique cigars

The very 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 Cohiba cigars 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

" With just the right amount of draw resistance, the draw on this well-made Robusto is exceptional, delivering a smoke with a luxuriously creamy texture. Citrus notes of orange peel provide an enticing contrast to the spicy leather aromas and the warm, toasty finish. ” Cigar Aficionado, 1 February 2022
