The Cohiba Black is one of the newest additions to the Cohiba family. With a dark maduro wrapper and aged Dominican Piloto binder, the Cohiba Black has a rich and complex flavor that appeals to even the most discerning aficionado.

As perhaps the most recognized name in cigars worldwide, Cohiba has been an icon for what many consider to be “the best.” Debuting in Cuba shortly after Castro came to power, Cohiba cigars were made from the country’s top 1% of leaves harvested and the cigars were reserved for diplomatic gifts and government VIP’s. In fact, speculation exists that the brand was initially made for Fidel Castro who considered the blend his favorite.

Cohiba Black was introduced at the 2006 RTDA show in Las Vegas. As one of the most popular super premiums, the Cohiba Black follows its predecessor, the Cohiba Red Dot, which is also made in the Dominican Republic. The cigar features a multi-country blend with a rich and dark Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper. However, perhaps more exciting than the oily wrapper is the filler, which encompasses leaves from the Dominican Republic and Mexico. The Cohiba Black is then finished with an enticing Dominican Piloto binder that has been aging for more then three years in tercio. The Cohiba Black is the result of years of careful blending by General Cigar President and Master Blender Daniel Nunez, who has an esteemed reputation for creating some of the world’s finest cigars such as the Partagas Black label. Don’t miss your chance to try on of his latest and finest creations.

Consisting of 100% Dominican tobacco, Cohiba Puro Dominicana is a full-bodied powerhouse stemming from the manufacturer known for producing the best, full-flavored Cuban blends.

Cohiba is easily one of the most recognized names in the cigar industry. The brand debuted in Cuba and some even believe it was originally created for Fidel Castro. Today, Cuban Cohiba’s are not available in the United States, but their popular Dominican blends are created using the same methods incorporated in Cuba, which is why the brand continues to strive as one of the top 5 brands in the industry. Each cigar is perfectly bunched and constructed to allow for a proper burn and draw, every time, while only utilizing the best tobaccos currently available for blending.

Puro Dominicana is an excellent addition to the Cohiba line. The cigar sports an oily Dominican grown natural wrapper, which is seamlessly constructed and very toothy. Underneath this beautiful leaf are 100% Dominican fillers selected from the best portions of each plant grown in some of the most fertile soil in the Dominican Republic. In order to create an oak like flavor mixed with subtle spices, each hand of tobacco was aged ‘en tercio’ in charcoaled wooden barrels. This process creates a unique flavor never experienced while enjoying any other Dominican blend currently available. In addition, Cohiba Puro Dominicana is then additionally aged once constructed, which allows the tobaccos to properly marry, creating a smooth, well balanced, complex Dominican puro that will fail to disappoint even the most discerning cigar enthusiast.

Cohiba Red Dot Churchill Rated 91 in Cigar Aficionado
As one of the best selling and most famous brands in the world, the Cohiba is a super premium blend with an esteemed reputation for quality and flavor.

Cohiba is the best-known name in cigars. After Castro took control of Cuba, this brand was commissioned by the Dictator to make the finest Cuban cigars available. Early on they were reserved for dignitaries and high ranking government officials. Over time the cigars became available to a wider audience and are now considered the top cigar manufactured in Cuba today. The Cohiba name originated from an earlier Cuban dialect used by the Taino Indians of Hispaniola and was used as the word for cigar. Today Cohiba stands for quality and the finest tobaccos Cuba has to offer.

The Cohiba Red Dot is the legal, Domincan version of Cohiba, and the only one made in the US that can legally bear the trademark. Like its Cuban counterpart, the Cohiba Red Dot uses only the finest tobaccos and the most qualified rollers in constructing this legendary cigar. It is finished with a West African, Cameroon wrapper that gives this cigar a sweet and rich aroma that is medium to full-bodied. The Cohiba Red Dot is the product of five years of intensive research and blending efforts by General Cigar, makers of Punch, Partagas, and Hoyo de Monterrey.

True to its Cohiba tradition in every detail, Cohiba XV is the most full-bodied expression of the brand”s uncompromising standards.

From its rich, lacquered box of mahogany to its dark Capa Corona wrapper of the most thoroughly aged Ecuadoran Sumatra, Cohiba XV stands for Extra Vigoroso. And in keeping with the cigar”s superior quality, it can be made only in limited quantities. In response to the rising demand for fuller-flavored cigars, cigar master Daniel Nuñez set out to create an extension of the successful Cohiba line. The result is Cohiba XV, an Extra Vigoroso cigar made with all the inspiration and dedication to quality that have made Cohiba one of the most respected premium brands in the country.

The most distinctive leaf of a Cohiba XV cigar is its sun-grown Sumatra wrapper from Ecuador. Harvested only from the tops of the tobacco plants, each of these wrapper leaves is aged in tercio for three years. The flavor is then enhanced by aging all of the leaves again for six months in crates of fragrant cedar. In crafting Cohiba XV cigars, the most flavorful Nicaraguan Ligero and Dominican Piloto Cubano Ligero are bound with the richest three-year-old Connecticut Broadleaf. The result is a cigar that is made, not only to please, but also to impress.
