Beginning in 1982, the year in which the brand was introduced abroad, Cohiba has been available in limited quantities for connoisseurs worldwide to enjoy.

The name “Cohiba” is an old word used by the Taíno Indians, the original inhabitants of the island, to describe the rolled tobacco leaves they smoked, which Christopher Columbus saw for the first time in Cuba in 1492. Cohiba is, subsequently considered, the first name for tobacco.
