A Current Brand
Cohiba is a post-revolution brand established in 1966.

It is the Habanos SA flagship brand, has a major market share and is sold at a premium price.
The tobacco is the best available from the premium Vuelta Abajo region. The Seco & Ligro filler leaf is given an exclusive third fermentation.
Three cigars were initially released in 1969, later becoming part of the Classic range introduced in 1989.
The Siglo range was introduced in 1992 but not commercially available in early 1994.
The Maduro range was introduced in 2007.
