COHIBA
Cohiba is the flagship brand of Habanos.
It was created in 1966 for President Fidel Castro himself and was made at the then top secret, but now world famous, El LLaguito factory. At first, it was only seen outside Cuba as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats.
Since 1982 Cohiba has been available in limited quantities to the open market.
The name is an ancient Taino Indian word for the bunches of tobacco leaves that Columbus first saw being smoked by the original inhabitants of Cuba - the earliest known form of a Habano.
The leaves for Cohiba are the "selection of selection" from the 5 finest Vegas de Primera in San Juan y Martinez and San Luis districts of the Vuelta Abajo zone.
Uniquely amongst Habanos up to three of Cohiba's filler leaves , the seco, ligero and the rare medio tiempo, undergo an additional fermentation in barrels. This unique process produces a special aroma and flavour you will only find in Cohiba.
AMBAR
The Cohiba Ambar is the latest addition to the regular Cohiba production line, announced at the maiden Habanos World Days event in 2021. It fits in with the rest of the cigars in the Linea Classica and is of course made at the famous El Laguito factory in Havana.
The Ambar is presented as a relatively thick Placeres vitola, measuring 53 ring gauge by 132mm. True to Cohiba tradition for the Linea Clasica, it will provide medium-full strength smoke and is filled only with tobacco leaves that have undergone the extra barrel fermentation which is the signature of the brand.
The Cohiba Ambar is available in boite-nature boxes of 10 cigars. It will smoke beautifully now or age alongside the rest of your collection for years to come.
