Cohiba - probably the most important name in cigars, not just in Cuba but in the world.
Cohiba cigars are those that once Cuban President, Fidel Castro, handed out as gifts to diplomatic figures. The name Cohiba is actually derived from the Taino word for Tobacco and the Cohiba Cigar itself was something very close to President Castro’s heart. An icon if you will, and a symbol of ‘the-best-of the-best’ of all cigars.
Marven R. Shanken, editor and publisher of Cigar Aficionado Magazine, beautifully described where Cohiba Cigars fit in;
"When you think of Cuba, you think of cigars,
and when you think of Cuban cigars you think of Cohiba."
The tobacco used for Cohiba cigars is harvested from only first-class fields - aka: Vegas Finas de Primera. There are ten fields that produce tobacco for Cohiba cigars. It is said that tobacco leaves from only five fields are used, due to the strict and high quality control measures.
What makes Cohiba Cigars so great though, is the secret of Fermentation, where all other Cuban Cigars (excluding the Trinidad) have tobacco which has been fermented twice before aging, the world renowned Cohiba Cigars have a third level of fermentation, making them not only rich in flavour but incredibly smooth.
While Cohiba is a brand of two premium Cigars, one being from the Dominican Republic, it is only the sticks made in Cuban for Habanos SA, that you will find at Cigar Box. They range from the beautiful to the sublime, and include the Cohiba Robustos Cuban at 4 7/8" x 50rg, all the Siglo’s with a standout being the Cohiba Siglo No. IV, the lovely and dark Cohiba Genios Maduro and the ‘everyone must try this’ cigar, the 7” x 47rg Cohiba Esplendido.
