Five centuries after Christopher Columbus heard the word Cohiba for the first time in what is now the Dominican Republic, a Cohiba cigar was developed in the same country by Diaz y Cia in l978. The Dominican Cohiba cigars, which was reformulated in the 1990s, are the only Cohiba cigars that can be purchased legally in the United States.
The Cohiba cigars that are crafted today in the Dominican Republic took years to develop. The dark, rich wrapper leaf is grown in the sub-tropical West African climate of Cameroon. The supple and flavorful Jember binder is grown in Indonesia. To balance the richness of the wrapper, the smooth-smoking Piloto Cubano filler leaves are grown in the Dominican Republic.
Dominican Cohiba are deeply satisfying cigars, rich in flavor and history that do not overpower the smoker, and we are proud to have added it to our already extensive range of fine cigars at discount prices.
