Cohíba
Introduced in 1968 Cohíba cigars were meant only as protocol cigars made solely for Cuban officials and diplomats. Cohíba was not widely distributed until 1982 when 3 sizes were launched: Lanceros, Coronas Especiales and Panetelas. Then, 3 more vitolas were added to the brand in 1989: Espléndidos, Robustos and Exquisitos, completing what is known as "La Línea Clásica". In 1992, 5 more vitolas were added creating the "Linea 1492": the Siglo I, II, III, IV and V and recently the long awaited Siglo VI was released. Cohíba remains the "King of the Cubans" as well as Castro’s favourite smoke, before he gave up smoking.
