The Iconic Name in Cigars — Dominican Luxury from General Cigar
No comparison data available for this brand.
Cohiba is one of the most recognizable cigar brands in the world. While the original Cuban Cohiba was created in 1966 for Fidel Castro, the non-Cuban Cohiba sold in the United States is produced by General Cigar Company in the Dominican Republic. The U.S. Cohiba has built its own identity as a premium luxury brand, featuring refined Dominican and Nicaraguan blends with the signature red dot band that has become an icon of cigar culture. CigarFinder compares Cohiba prices across 17+ trusted retailers.
The U.S. Cohiba brand was registered by General Cigar Company in 1978 and has been produced independently of the Cuban brand ever since. While the two share the Cohiba name and Taino Indian head logo, they are completely separate products made by different companies with different tobaccos.
The Cohiba Red Dot is the classic — a smooth, refined Dominican blend with a Cameroon wrapper that has been a luxury cigar staple for decades. The Cohiba Black introduced a bolder, more modern profile with a dark Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over Dominican and Honduran fillers.
The Cohiba Blue is the milder option, featuring a Connecticut shade wrapper for a creamy, approachable smoke. The Cohiba Connecticut continues this lighter approach. The Cohiba Macassar represents the brand's most complex offering, using a rare Pennsylvania Broadleaf Barber Pole wrapper. The Cohiba Spectre and Royale occupy the ultra-premium tier with rare, aged tobaccos.
