Cohiba Cigars
Cohiba serves as the flagship brand of Habanos S.A., Cuba's state-run cigar organization. The brand name derives from the Taino Indian term for tobacco leaf bundles historically smoked in Cuba.
Production Process
Cohiba cigars utilize tobacco cultivated in Cuba's Vuelta Abajo region. The leaves undergo extended fermentation to develop distinctive aromas. Behike 56 exemplifies this process, incorporating unique maturation techniques.
