Cohiba Cigars, The Cubans Step Brother

Cohiba cigars are painstakingly crafted in the Dominican Republic and took over six years to develop. The rich and dark wrapper is devised of a leaf that is grown in Cameroon. The Cohiba cigars smooth draw is due to special filler leaves grown right in the Dominican Republic itself.

Cohiba is a native word of the Caribbean which simply means cigar. The Dominican Cohiba cigar is the only type of Cohiba cigar and also cigarettes that can be purchased legally in the United States of America.

Due to the relevance the Cuban government gave to the Cohiba cigar, it rapidly became on of the most wanted cigars in the world. The only distributor of these Dominican made Cohiba's is General Cigars here in the United States.

The look of the cigars consists of two thick black stripes on the top and bottom of the band. The rest of the band is of white with the name Cohiba in black bold letters. One signature trait that General Cigars did, and consequently coined the term "Cohiba Red Dot" is they put a red dot inside the O of Cohiba. As you may know, this is where the "Cohiba Red Dot" name came from.
