COHIBA As Early as 1496, the word Cohiba(R) was used by the natives of Hispanolia (part of the Dominican Republic) to describe the cured leaves of tobacco they smoked for pleasure.
While sailing with Christopher Columbus on his second voyage, Romanus Pane, a spanish monk, wrote of his incident and gave us the name cohiba.
The fertile soil and ideal climate of the Dominican Republic, Cohiba was first smoked, over 500 years ago, makes it an ideal source for fine tobaccos.
