Cohiba cigars are world famous. Even non cigar aficionados hear the word, "Cohiba" and know that it's synonymous with a high quality smoke. The Cohiba name became well known after Fidel Castro oversaw the creation of a high quality cigar reserved for government officials and distinguished guests. Although it's against the law for Americans to buy Cohibas from Cuba, it's perfectly legal to purchase the Cohiba brand that aficionados are most familiar with. These are the "Red Dot" Cohibas that are manufactured in the Dominican Republic.

While the "red dots" are the classic Cohibas that many an aficionado has enjoyed, there is also another excellent Cohiba that merits just as much attention. This cigar is a super premium smoke known as the "Cohiba Black". While the Cohiba Puro Dominicano is made with 100% Dominican tobacco, the Black is made with a carefully selected blend of tobaccos from several countries. One has to wonder if the company president had the goal of finding the best of tobaccos to create a cigar masterpiece because that's the general impression that most aficionados get when smoking one. To see why this full-bodied, robust cigar has such high esteem, order some from your favorite online cigar stores.
