Cohiba Red Dot

admin on August 15th, 2008

The Dominican Cohiba “Red Dot” cigars are a deeply satisfying cigar, rich both in flavor,
and in history, that does not overpower the smoker. During his second voyage to the New World in 1496, Christopher Columbus returned and revisited western Hispaniola, which is now known as the Dominican Republic. To his surprise, he discovered that the native Taino Indians of Hispaniola were smoking leaves of cured tobacco. “Cohiba,” was the name they called it. Today, the famous name in cigars, Cohiba, remains as much a part of Dominican history as ever. Five centuries after Christopher Columbus heard the word Cohiba for the first time in the Dominican Republic, a Cohiba cigar was developed in the same country by Diaz y Cia in l978. The Dominican Cohiba cigars, which were reformulated in the 1990s, are the only Cohiba cigars that can be purchased legally in the United States. The Cohiba cigars that are crafted today in the Dominican Republic took many years to develop. The dark, rich wrapper leaf is grown in the softly clouded sub-tropical West African climate of Cameroon. The supple and flavorful Jember binder is grown in Indonesia. To balance the richness of the Cohiba Red Dot cigars wrapper, the smooth-smoking Piloto Cubano filler leaves are grown in the Dominican Republic. Cohiba “Red Dot” cigars are true classics
Enjoy one now!
