Cohiba Robusto Cigar – Single Tubos

The Cohiba Robusto Cigar – Single Tubos represents a pivotal development in Cuba’s most recognized premium cigar brand. Originally created in 1966 as an exclusive Lancero size for Fidel Castro, Cohiba expanded its offerings to three sizes during its 1982 commercial debut in Spain. The Robusto format joined the lineup in 1989, marking Cohiba’s global sales launch and introducing the brand’s thickest vitola at the time.

Key historical milestones include:

• 1966: Lancero size developed as a private cigar for Cuban leadership
• 1982: Commercial release in Spain with three initial sizes
• 1989: Global expansion featuring the Robusto as flagship size

Packaged in protective aluminum tubes (Tubos), the Robusto measures 124mm in length with a 50 ring gauge. Its blend uses selected Vuelta Abajo region tobaccos aged through Cohiba’s dual fermentation process. The brand maintains production at El Laguito factory in Havana, established specifically for Cohiba’s creation.
