Cohiba

Cohiba Cigars

Cohiba is arguably the most recognized name in cigars — and in the United States, that name belongs to General Cigar Company, which has produced the Dominican Cohiba since 1978 and holds the U.S. trademark. What ships under the Cohiba banner here is a portfolio of premium handmade cigars built around rare, well-aged tobacco and finished to a standard the name demands.

The Cohiba Portfolio

The Red Dot remains the flagship — a Cameroon-wrapped cigar with a medium body and the sweet, slightly nutty character Cameroon leaf is prized for. From there the range fans out: Cohiba Blue brings the brand into a more accessible price bracket with a fuller Nicaraguan-leaning profile; Cohiba Black leans dark and rich with a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper; Cohiba Connecticut delivers a creamier, milder morning smoke; and Cohiba Nicaragua, Riviera, and Royale sit at the top of the house with limited, heavily aged tobaccos.

Blend & Character

• Origin: Handmade in the Dominican Republic
• Wrappers: Cameroon, Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro, Ecuadorian Connecticut, and Nicaraguan Habano across the range
• Body: Mild-medium to full depending on the line
• Flavor notes: Cedar, espresso, cocoa, leather, dried fruit, and black pepper
• Construction: Meticulous, with tight caps and slow, even burns
