Of these legendary smokes, Cohiba and Montecristo reign supreme.

Cohiba
Cohiba has become the standard by which all premium cigars are judged. For cigar smokers and many non-smokers alike, the name Cohiba has come to suggest the ultimate in quality and status. Each Cohiba humidor is infused with this unmistakable character and history of the world’s leading cigar brand.



The Rise of Cohiba
While Cohiba is the king of all Cuban cigars, the brand is a relative newcomer on the Cuban cigar scene. Many Cuban brands trace their origins far back into the 19th century, whereas Cohiba was born out of the chaotic years of the 1960s.

Legends abound about the origins of Cohiba cigars, yet the most popular story tells of how one of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro’s bodyguards gave Castro a cigar from a local cigar maker. The mixture of tobaccos so enthralled Castro, he brought Cuba’s best cigar masters together to produce the cigars as his personal blend.

To better ensure the quality of the cigars, Castro moved production to a mansion-turned-cigar factory in Havana, the now-legendary El Laguito factory. All of the best tobaccos in Cuba were sent to the factory, where a dream team of cigar rollers crafted Castro’s exclusive smokes that would wear the Cohiba name. The word “Cohiba” is a word derived from the Taino language of Cuba’s indigenous Arawak people to describe the bundle of leaves they inhaled through the nose that would evolve into what we now know as a modern cigar.

The first Cohiba cigars emerged in 1966 and quickly became Fidel Castro’s calling card, presented to Cuban VIPS and foreign dignitaries. Word quickly spread of the impressive cigars, and the Cohiba brand was formally introduced in 1968. By the official international release of Cohiba cigars in 1982, Cohiba had already become the most renowned cigar brand in the world, a status that it still holds to this day.

Montecristo
While Cohiba is perhaps the most well-known brand, no discussion about Cuban cigars would be complete without Montecristo. A favorite of cigar connoisseurs since day one, the venerable Montecristo brand features a refined quality unrivaled in the world today. Each Montecristo humidor mirrors this exceptional character, which is deeply rooted in the brand’s storied past.



The Tale of Montecristo
Montecristo cigars emerged in 1935 when Cuban entrepreneur Alonso Menéndez decided his recently acquired cigar business needed a new cigar line that would gain notoriety for its quality and character. With a new cigar in place, all that was needed was an attention-grabbing name.

Legend says that the 17th century tale The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas was a favorite of the factory’s cigar rollers, who would listen to books, poetry and news articles read to them by the factory’s official readers, known as lectors. Menéndez liked the name of the book and was inspired to shorten the name to simply Montecristo, believing it would still resonate with the public.

As Menéndez had predicted, Montecristo cigars were an instant hit and have ever since been regarded as one of the most respected brands in the world. Sophisticated, elegant, and infused with a touch of Dumas’ swashbuckling hero, Montecristo is the ultimate connoisseur’s cigar.
