The fertile soil and ideal climate of the Dominican Republic, where Cohiba was first smoked, over 500 years ago, makes it an ideal source for fine tobaccos. Among all the hand-rolled premium cigars from the Dominican Republic, Cohiba cigars have been the most exquisite since they were first introduced in 1978.
The exclusive Cohiba blend of rich Dominican filler tobaccos used today took over six painstaking years to develop. In addition, the full-bodied flavor and distinctive character of the cigar are uniquely enhanced by the complex complementary flavors of a superior Cameroon wrapper leaf from West Africa and the darkest, supplest Jember binder from Indonesia.
