Since 2003, "Brascuba" produces the brand in Latin America, the Caribbean and Russia. Cohiba is the Cuban Indians' name for tobacco.

History

Production of Cohiba cigarettes began in 1987 in Cuba as a joint venture between Habanos, S.A. and Cita Tobaccos de Canarias, S.L.. They are made entirely of a blend of Cuban black leaf tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region, and the tobacco is 100% additive free. Cohiba cigarettes are called cigarillos negros and known for their very strong flavour.
The brand is mainly sold in Cuba, but was or still is sold in Spain and Austria.
