Cohiba Cigars

This famous brand, is composed of a Dominican filler, an Indonesion Jember binder and a Cameroon wrapper. To make it into a Cohiba cigar, the tobacco must be aged up to four years and only the highest quality leaves are used.

Cohiba Cigars - Rich in History:

In 1496 during Christopher Columbus' second voyage to the new world, he discovered the native Taino Indians of Hispaniola (now the Dominican Repbulic) smoking cured tobacco leaves called Cohiba. Today, Cohiba is one of the most recognized and beloved brands of cigars in the world.

First created in Cuba in 1946, the brand is recognized as one of the finest in available from a country known for its cigars. The tobacco leaves are selected from the finest tobacco fields in Vuelta Abajo region of Pnar del Rio Province. The filler is distinguished by it's third fermentation process in barrels which gives it a smooth flavor.

Originally only produced for Fidel Castro, his close group of advisors and foreign dignitaries, Castro decided to release his favorite tobacco to the public during the 1982 World Cup in Spain. Since then, the Cuban Cohiba brand has been one of the most sought after Cuban cigars.

With the nationalization of the Cuban tobacco industry in 1970, many cigar makers fled Cuba and smuggled seeds to the Dominican Republic, Honduras and other countries with similar climates. After several years of delvelopment, the cigar manufacturer General Cigar Company began distributing the Dominican-made Cohiba cigar based on the original seeds and cigar-making methods from Cuba.

Davidoff Cigars

High quality cigars don't always come from Cuba or the Cuban tobacco monopoly. Many famous makers of other brands remain healthy and give consumers more choices for cigars and more competition in terms of quality, taste and price. One example of high quality cigars come from Davidoff Cigars.

In fact, Davidoff cigars are known to the one of the more prominent brand of cigars. They have become one of the few manufacturers of cigars that strive to be the best.

Davidoff started with no Cuban cigar manufacturers to handle their supply of tobacco products. Eventually Cubatabaco offered to help Davidoff with the production of cigars. Davidoff could not resist considering Cubatabaco produces some of the most popular cigars in the world. They had recently built El Laguito, the factory that manufactures Cohiba, Fidel Castro's favorite cigar. Some of the popular types of cigars Davidoff produces are The Ambassadrice, Dom Perignon, and the discounted line of Chateaux.

With the success of the two cigar manufactures coming together, both Cubatabaco and Davidoff were enjoying the following years. But soon thereafter, a rival of Davidoff was approached by Cubatabaco. Alfred Dunhill Ltd. was sought after by Cubatabaco to manufacture cigars and it made Davidoff question the decision to go into business with them.

Repeated disputes over ownership rights to the brand name and arguing over the quality (which had diminished when the tradesmen fled Cuba) convinced Davidoff to halt business relations with Cubatabaco. Zino Davidoff burned around 100 sticks of tobacco from Cuba stating it was not fit for the Davidoff brand.

Under the direction of Heinrich Kelner, Davidoff Cigars finally sees success. Their cigar products are made in Honduras and the Dominican Republic. Although they have changed in both location of the factories and in the leader, the cigars still slightly resembles the Cohiba, but with a lighter wrapper.
