Cohiba Cigars were
introduced in 1968 by Fidel Castro, and quickly became the flagship brand
of the Cuban cigars industry. Developed initially as a medium bodied protocol
cigar for presentation only by officials of the Cuban government, Cohiba
cigars were marketed widely beginning in 1982. The initial sizes
were the Cohiba Lancero, the Corona Especial and the Panetela, with
the Esplendido, Robusto and Exquisito added in 1989. In 1992, Siglo series
salute the 500th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the Caribbean.
A unique blend, its distribution is tightly controlled to this day.
