Cohiba Cigars

Cohiba Brand Background

If Fifth Avenue were a cigar brand, it would be this one. Cohiba occupies an exclusive place in the cigar industry. The Cuban Cohiba was first conceived in the 1960s only as a private creation for Fidel Castro and visiting statesmen. Rolled in limited numbers at El Laguito, it quickly became a symbol of exclusivity. Few cigars carried such an immediate association with power and privilege at the time. Most Cuban-heritage brands are well over a hundred years old, with a few exceptions, but Cohiba was not created until 1966, well after Castro has assumed control of Cuba.

When the U.S embargo cut off access to Cuban cigars, Cohiba’s mystique only grew. That absence opened the door for General Cigar Company, which registered the brand’s trademark in the late 1970s. Today, Cohiba carries its prestige into lounges and humidors across the world. Their award-winning lineup has only expanded, from the Red Dot to the fan-favorite Black to the latest Rubicon. This incredible cigar brand has become a staple of luxury smoking.

Types of Cohiba Cigars

Cohiba comes in a wide range of styles and blends. From the long-standing Red Dot to Serie M, every line is built to amplify your smoking session. Here’s what Cohiba cigars types you’ll find when you shop all Cohiba cigar brands online.

Cohiba Red Dot

The cornerstone of the Dominican line, the Cohiba Red Dot is perfect for anyone who wants a classic Cohiba experience. With its proven 90 plus rating, the star of the show is the spice tingling Cameroon wrapper. It’s complemented by an exotic Indonesian binder, and Dominican fillers. You’ll get the rich waves of leather, cinnamon, sweet spice, coffee, and caramel in this medium-bodied experience. Despite its price point, this high-end smoking experience continues to see overwhelming demand.

Cohiba Black

If you are craving something with richer flavors, the Cohiba Black will be an excellent addition to your humidor. Cohiba Black leans into its senses activating richness with its Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. It hugs the three-year-aged Dominican Piloto Cubano binder. A rare Dominican Piloto Cubano and Mexican San Andres filler, also aged three years in Tercios, round out this out-of-this-world, medium-to-full-bodied experience. The striking sleek black boxes set the stage for a layered depth. If there was ever a cigar for deep thought, long evenings, or something to pair with your bourbon, the Black is the perfect companion.

Cohiba Nicaragua

As the demand for Nicaraguan cigars in the market grew, General took the bold step to release the Cohiba Nicaragua. Capturing the boldness and complexity of Nicaraguan tobaccos in a Cubanesque blend, the Cohiba Nicaragua is crafted with choice Nicaraguan long filler and binder tobaccos from Jalapa and Esteli swathed in a Colorado Habano Oscuro wrapper. Its rich full-bodied flavors of peppery spices, leather, dark roasted coffee, leather, and hints of creaminess will win over the most discerning connoisseurs.

Cohiba Royale

Royale is considered to be the brand’s fullest expression of a cigar. A Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper, Dominican Piloto Cubano binder, and Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Honduran filler create a dynamite smoking experience. It’s full-bodied, layered, and flavorful, creating a lasting impression for anyone who tries one.

Cohiba Blue

Cohiba called their Blue a “luxury cigar without the pretense.” The Blue was made to be approachable without losing the brand’s luster. Immediately you’ll be drawn to its eye-catching ocean-colored box. It showcases the best that Honduras has to offer. The attractive Honduran Olancho San Agustin Sun Grown wrapper drapes over Honduran binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Expect a lovely combination of earth, caramel, leather, cocoa, and cinnamon in this medium-bodied experience.

There are several more top-shelf blends from the Cohiba lineup to choose from, each with its own nuances, yet, all provide a smoking experience that sets the bar high for the rest of the market. Whichever box of Cohiba cigars you choose, you can trust you are in for the quintessential cigar.
