Cohibas use leaves that are triple fermented, while all other Cuban labels use only double fermented leaves. All Cuban sticks are somewhat price controlled (they are Communists, after all), based linearly on the length and ring gauge. Cohibas are the only exception, and generally priced about 50% more. They are also, supposedly, the only thing Castro smokes. This gives them a better name recognition relative to the other Cuban labels.
