If you haven't already figured it out we are now stocking Cohiba cigars with possibilities of other cigar brands in the near future. We are extremely excited about this new direction we are taking and hope you join our excitement with us as we journey down the Cuban cigar and cigar accessories avenue. We are based in the heart of Loughborough, Leicestershire where you will be able to find out more information regarding our collection of cigars.

Cohiba cigars are the flagship brand of Habanos and were created in 1966 for president Fidel Castro; back then this was top secret but now these cigars are world famous and smoked by many. They were originally only found outside of Cuba as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats. Since 1982 'Cohiba' has only been available in limited quantities to the open market making them a rare cigar to find.

The name 'Cohiba' comes from an ancient Taino Indian word for bunches of tobacco leaves which is when Cohiba's were born. They are known as the 'selection of the selection' meaning they come from the five finest plantations in the San Juan y Martinez and San Luis districts of the Vuelta Abajo zone. There are up to three Cohiba filling leaves which are unique to Habanos, these are the Volado, Seco, Ligero and the rare Medio Tiempo which undergoes an extra fermentation in the barrels which then adds an extra smoothness to the blend - available in the Línea Behike collection. This Medio Tiempo filling leaf sets these cigars apart from other Havanas. Only two Medio Tiempo leaves ever appear amongst the uppermost foliage of sun-grown tobacco plants and not all plants produce them every year. The scarcity of these leaves means that the annual production of Behikes will always be limited.

Cohiba has four different Lineas which means lines. firstly there is the Linea Clásica which has six sizes and were introduced between 1966 and 1989. The Linea 1492 which comes in five different sizes; these were launched in 1992 to commemorate the 500th Anniversary of Columbus's arrival into Cuba. The iconic Siglo VI was added in 2002. The Linea Maduro 5 which consists of three different sizes; these are each wrapped in dark maduro leaves which have specially ages for five years; this was launch in 2007. The most recent linea was part of the Linea Clásica range which is called the Cohiba Pirámides Extra launched in 2012. Last but not least the Linea Behike which three sizes made their debut in 2010 and were made the most exclusive line, extremely hard to get hold of and very rare due to it medio tiempo leaf. This leaf can only be found amongst very few of the top two leaves of a sun-grown tobacco plant; this leaf brings an exceptional richness to the taste of the cigars.

Through persistence and constant innovation, Cohiba have managed to hold their position as the leading edge of the cigar world.

We believe that these cigars and gift sets will make a great gift for those who do smoke cigars, as wedding presents or favours, something to be added to the Christmas list or for corporate orders as an incentive gift. View our collection of Cohiba cigars.

We have a couple of new cigar accessories which are great for gifting to fellow cigar smokers.

A unique one from Cohiba is the Humidor in the collection which is shaped and styled like a book.
