Cohiba
Year of Foundation: 1927
Tobacco Country: Cuba
Tobacco Procedence: Vuelta Abajo
Factory: El Laguito
Officially launched in 1968 after being the personal favorite marca of Cuban leader Fidel Castro for several years, Cohiba started operating in El Laguito factory with the objective of rolling super-premium cigars offered exclusively as diplomatic gifts or for high government officials. There is also a Dominican Cohiba cigar brand that was started after the Cuban revolution. However, the original brand is Cuban Cohiba that is mentioned here.
Cohiba quickly developed a mystic aura, being so difficult to find, however in 1982 it finally got to the world market as a premium brand, with only limited vitolas at the time: the Panetela, the Corona Especial, and the Lancero. Few years later, the Robusto, the Exquisito, and the Espléndido were added. And in 1992, to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the Americas by Columbus, Cohiba launched the Línea 1492 with 5 extremely sought after cigars: Siglo I, Siglo II, Siglo III, Siglo IV, and Siglo V, while the Siglo VI was added in 2002.
Cohiba only uses carefully selected premium tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region in the Pinar del Río Province, which then undergoes an extra fermentation process in wooden barrels at the El Laguito factory. However not all cigars are rolled in this factory, Cohiba also shares the Francisco Pérez Germán factory with Partagás. Cohiba cigars are famed for being of extremely good quality and for being medium to full strength.
Cohiba's best sellers are the Cohiba Robusto, the Cohiba Siglos series and the Cohiba Maduros series.

Cohiba Esplendidos - 25 cigars
$2,699.00The Cohiba Esplendido is one of Cohiba’s flagships, a rich and creamy Churchill, of 47 ring gauge, 7" (178mm) long and comes in a box of 25 cigars. Originally launched in 1989, it became so popular in the beginning of the 2000’s to the point that it was over produced which caused a decline of quality. This issue has been resolved since, and the Esplendido has recovered its position at the top of Cuban cigars and even in the world, as it was voted among the Top 25 Cigars of 2014 by Cigar Aficionado. In short, the Esplendido is one of the most delightful cigars, which doesn't have any flaws. It is a bold smoke, yet with lots of creamy flavors. A top notch cigar. Learn More -

$2,999.00Out of stock
The Cohiba Behike 52 is an exceptional, flavorful and already aged Cuban cigar, of 52 ring gauge, 4.7” (119mm) long and comes in a box of 10 cigars. Released in 2010, this cigar is Cohiba’s most exclusive brand. Coming in a brand new format, with a heavy ring gauge, the Behike 52 (named after its ring gauge) is 119 mm long. It is rolled with the finest tobacco in Cuba, Volado, Seco and Ligero and also Medio Tiempo (which are the top leaves of only certain sun grown tobacco plants). What differentiates the BHK 52 from the other cigars from Cohiba is that the leaves used for the filler are already aged, and as a result this cigar doesn’t require aging to reveal such an exceptional taste and character. The main aromas developed by this cigar are of creamy coffee and of rich earthy flavors, which are reminiscent of well-aged cigars. Unsurprisingly, the price of this jewel is high; however, the BHK 52 lives up to its reputation and is worth every penny. This is indeed a unique cigar, and a very rewarding experience that will delight the true Cuban aficionado. Learn More -
