The Cohiba cigar took by surprise the world of smokers one day in 1966. Its name became famous very soon upon registration of the brand in 1969. When it was finally brought to the market, it was by then the most coveted cigar in the world.
The name of this brand is very old: first Cuban settlers used to call the coarse rolled leaves of this solanaceae -lit, while inhaling the smoke through the opposite- by the name of cohiba.
Tobacco for manufacture of Cohiba cigars is quite special. It is grown at full length in certain selected fine plantations in the Vuelta Abajo, in the province of Pinar del Río.
