Stage 1: Secret Birth (1966-1982)

Early 1960s: A Bodyguard, a Lancero, and a Moment That Changed Cigar History

The story's starting point is widely circulated in the industry as having occurred in the early 1960s.

Castro's personal bodyguard, Eduardo Rivera Irizarri, was smoking a cigar he was accustomed to during a security assignment -- a private cigar specially rolled for him by a local artisan (in some versions also recorded as Eduardo Rivera or Eduardo Ribera) -- slender, elegant, and in the shape that later became the famous Lancero shape.

Castro noticed the distinctive aroma and elegant shape of the cigar in his bodyguard's hand and went over to ask where it came from. Rivera explained that it was a private cigar rolled for him by a friend. Castro took a puff -- and was immediately captivated by the flavor.

That moment changed the historical trajectory of the entire cigar world.

1966: The Birth of Cohiba as Castro's Private Brand

1966: Castro ordered this blend to be produced in quantity as his personal cigar. Three key decisions shaped Cohiba's initial positioning:

1. Produce this blend in quantity -- locate the rollers and replicate the blend proportions
2. Secret production -- only for Castro personally + the top ranks of the Cuban Communist Party + diplomatic gifts
3. No public market sales -- maintain its "top secret" status

During these 16 years (1966-1982), Cohiba was not circulated in any market at all and was, in the true sense, "Castro's personal cigar."

The Birth of El Laguito Factory: The Revolutionary Transformation of a Sugar Magnate's Villa

1966: Castro converted a pre-war aristocratic villa in Havana's Playa district into a secret cigar factory -- this later became the world-famous El Laguito Factory.

The history of this villa itself is a metaphor for the Cuban Revolution:

• Original owner: Alberto Casimiro Fowler Perilliat -- director and later president (from 1917) of the North American Sugar Company
• Construction period: 1920s, a luxurious Beaux-Arts style villa
• Post-revolution fate: After the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the Fowler family went into exile overseas, and the villa was taken over by the new government
• Castro's choice: Transforming this sugar magnate's villa, a symbol of the "old capitalist order," into the secret factory of a "new socialist cigar" -- the transfer of material symbols itself became part of the revolutionary narrative

Reasons for the factory location: quiet, discreet, suitable for fine craftsmanship, and geographically convenient for Castro's personal pickups.

Celia Sánchez Manduley and the Factory's All-Female Workforce Tradition

Celia Sánchez Manduley (1920-1980) -- a key female leader of the Cuban Revolution, Castro's closest lifelong political ally, and known as the "First Lady of the Cuban Revolution" (though she never married) -- was a crucial driving force behind the establishment of El Laguito Factory.

Her decision: the early staff of El Laguito Factory would be entirely female.

The background to this decision:

• The Cuban Revolution emphasized women's equality, and Sánchez herself represented this narrative
• Cigar rolling requires fine handcraft, in an industry traditionally dominated by men
• The all-female staffing arrangement at El Laguito was a clear reversal by revolutionary socialism of the gender structure in the traditional cigar industry

This tradition continues to this day -- El Laguito Factory still relies primarily on female torcedora (female cigar rollers) and has one of the most distinctive gender compositions among cigar factories worldwide.

Avelino Lara: The First Director of El Laguito and the Craftsmanship Definer of the Cohiba Blend

Avelino Lara (1925-2017) -- a legendary master of the Cuban cigar industry, regarded as one of the "craftsmanship souls of modern Cuban cigars."

Cubatabaco (the Cuban national tobacco marketing bureau and predecessor of Habanos S.A.) invited Avelino Lara to serve as the first director of El Laguito, responsible for developing a new super-premium blend completely different from any existing Cuban cigar.

Lara's craftsmanship contributions:

• Strict selection of top tobacco leaves from Vuelta Abajo San Juan y Martínez
• Designed a unique ratio for the wrapper / binder / filler blend
• Introduced the triple fermentation process (traditional Cuban cigars use only two fermentations) -- this is the key to Cohiba's flavor complexity
• Strict quality control standards, with a rejection rate far higher than other brands

Industry consensus: The true builder of Cohiba's craftsmanship positioning was Avelino Lara, not Castro. Castro provided the brand platform and political resources, while Lara provided the craftsmanship core that allowed Cohiba to surpass all century-old brands within 60 years.

February 1967: Cohiba Was Officially Conceived at El Laguito Factory

Official Habanos S.A. documents record that the Cohiba brand name and brand positioning were formally conceived at El Laguito Factory in February 1967.

The Naming of Cohiba: Taíno Indigenous Word for "Rolled Tobacco"

"Cohiba" = a Taíno Indigenous word meaning "rolled tobacco" -- this was an Indigenous term observed when Columbus arrived in Cuba in 1492, and it is the ultimate etymological source of the Spanish "Cigarro" and the English "Cigar."

Castro's choice of this name carried three layers of meaning:

1. Emphasizing local Cuban culture -- not using a Hispanized or Europeanized word, but returning to the Indigenous language before 1492
2. Paying tribute to Indigenous tobacco tradition -- the true origin of Cuban tobacco culture is the Taíno people, not Columbus
3. Distinguishing it from other "Europeanized" brands -- H. Upmann (German family), Romeo y Julieta (Shakespearean theme), Partagás (Spanish-language surname) -- Cohiba is the only major Cuban brand that directly uses an Indigenous term

This naming choice itself is central to Cohiba's narrative power: it is not merely a cigar, but a contemporary representative of 500 years of Cuban culture.

1968: Cubatabaco Formally Established the Brand

1968: Cubatabaco (the Cuban national tobacco marketing bureau) formally established the Cohiba brand in an official capacity -- but still maintained its "top secret" market status and did not offer it for public sale.

From a personal secret in 1966, to conception at the factory in February 1967, to formal establishment by Cubatabaco in 1968 -- Cohiba's birth spanned 3 years and was jointly shaped by five forces: Castro's personal will, El Laguito Factory, Avelino Lara's craftsmanship, Celia Sánchez's institutional design, and Cubatabaco's official endorsement.

Early Owners During the Personal-Use Stage, 1966-1982

During these 16 years, very few people could legally possess Cohiba:

• Top levels of the Cuban government -- Castro personally + core members of the Communist Party Politburo
• Recipients of diplomatic gifts:
  • de Gaulle (French President, in office 1966-1969)
  • Tito (President of Yugoslavia and leader of the Non-Aligned Movement)
  • Pinochet (Chilean dictator; despite political opposition, there were diplomatic contacts)
  • Erich Honecker (East German leader)
  • Brezhnev (General Secretary of the Soviet Union)
  • Some leaders of Middle Eastern oil-producing countries

Industry legend: Accepting Cohiba was equivalent to accepting the highest level of diplomatic hospitality from the Cuban government -- the rarity of this status became the historical foundation that allowed Cohiba to immediately obtain top-tier positioning when it was later launched publicly.

Stage 2: Historic Public Launch (1982)

Two Key Decisions in 1982

In 1982, Cubatabaco made two decisions that changed cigar history:

Decision 1: Publicly Launch Cohiba

It broke the "top secret" principle that had existed since 1966 and opened Cohiba to overseas markets for the first time (excluding the United States, as the embargo was still ongoing). Background reasons:

• Cuba's foreign exchange shortage -- under the Cold War situation of the early 1980s, the Cuban economy needed more hard currency
• The tobacco industry was one of Cuba's four major sources of foreign exchange (alongside sugar, nickel, and tourism)
• Cohiba's legendary status accumulated over 16 years was a ready-made high-end market asset

Decision 2: Choose the 1982 Spain World Cup as the Launch Timing

The 1982 FIFA World Cup was hosted by Spain -- at the time, it was the world's largest sports media event, and Spain was Cuba's historical and cultural mother country as well as a core cigar market.

Cubatabaco precisely tied Cohiba's global debut to the 1982 World Cup period:

• Media exposure: Journalists and fans from around the world gathered in Spain
• VIP contact: Political and business elites from many countries visited Spain in large numbers as World Cup VIPs
• Brand narrative: "Castro's personal cigar for 16 years, publicly available for the first time" was a natural media focal point

The success of this launch strategy established Cohiba's global top-tier positioning for the next 40-plus years.

The First 3 Vitolas (1982)

The 1982 debut of Cohiba included 3 vitolas:

1. Cohiba Lancero (38x192 mm) -- slender, elegant, and the same shape as the one smoked by the bodyguard at the time
2. Cohiba Corona Especial (38x152 mm) -- medium length
3. Cohiba Panetela (26x115 mm) -- shorter and thinner

All 3 vitolas inherited the slender tradition of Eduardo Rivera's original cigar -- no Robusto, no Churchill, no Belicoso -- purely the "slender parejo faction."

Industry Shock and Immediate Quota System

Market response after the 1982 public launch:

• Global cigar players could legally purchase Castro's personal cigar for the first time
• Demand far exceeded supply (El Laguito's production capacity was limited)
• A quota system was implemented immediately -- distributors in each country had to apply for allocations through Cubatabaco (later Habanos S.A.)
• Auction market prices soared, and a secondary market took shape

The Legendary Status of Early Cohiba, 1982-1990

Industry consensus: Cohiba produced from 1982 to 1990 belongs to the true quality stage of "Castro's personal supervision" -- this was also the period when El Laguito Factory was completely led by Avelino Lara and quality control was at its strictest.

Cohiba from this period can reach $5,000-10,000 USD per stick at contemporary collecting auction houses -- reflecting the industry's highest regard for "Lara-era Cohiba."

Stage 3: Expansion of Línea Clásica (1989)

1989: The Complete Establishment of the Cohiba Classic Line

1989: Habanos launched the expansion of Cohiba Línea Clásica (Classic Line), adding 3 new vitolas:

1. Cohiba Espléndido (47x178 mm Churchill) -- 70-90 minutes of appreciation, a classical representative of the gentlemen's club
2. Cohiba Robusto (50x124 mm Robusto) -- 50 minutes of appreciation, Cohiba's best seller
3. Cohiba Exquisito (33x125 mm) -- small and refined

Together with the 3 original vitolas from 1982 = the complete 6 vitolas of Línea Clásica, forming Cohiba's classic foundation and still in production today.

Cohiba Espléndido: Representative of the Gentlemen's Club

Cohiba Espléndido became one of Cohiba's most famous vitolas:

• Churchill format (47x178 mm), paying tribute to Winston Churchill
• 70-90 minutes of appreciation time, suitable for extended appreciation after a gentlemen's club dinner
• A traditional choice among members of London's White's, Brooks's, and Carlton Club
• Market price: aged 5+ years reaching NT$ 4,000+ per stick

Cohiba Robusto: Cohiba's Best-Selling Format

Cohiba Robusto is the best-selling contemporary Cohiba vitola:

• 50x124 mm Robusto format
• 50 minutes of appreciation time
• Industry consensus: a true Cuban classic -- not having had Cohiba Robusto is equivalent to not having had Cohiba
• The preferred entry choice for members of gentlemen's clubs in many countries

Stage 4: Línea 1492 Commemorating the 500th Anniversary of Columbus (1992)

1992: A Historic Commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of Columbus

1992: To commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus landing in Cuba and discovering tobacco, Habanos launched the Cohiba Línea 1492 series.

Siglo means "century" in Spanish. The concept of this series: each Siglo represents one century after Columbus landed in 1492, forming a timeline of 500 years of cigar culture.

First Siglo I-V (1992)

1. Cohiba Siglo I (40x102 mm) -- 15th century (1492-1592, Columbus to Spanish colonization of the Americas)
2. Cohiba Siglo II (42x129 mm) -- 16th century (1592-1692, expansion of Spanish colonies)
3. Cohiba Siglo III (42x155 mm) -- 17th century (1692-1792, tobacco entered Europe's gentleman class)
4. Cohiba Siglo IV (46x143 mm) -- 18th century (1792-1892, rise of the Cuban cigar industry)
5. Cohiba Siglo V (43x170 mm) -- 19th century (1892-1992, modern cigar industry)

2002: Siglo VI Joined the Line

2002: Habanos added Cohiba Siglo VI (52x150 mm) as the flagship format of Línea 1492 -- representing the 20th century (1992-2092).

The format design of Siglo VI: larger ring gauge, elegant length, and one of the most popular Cohiba vitolas among modern gentlemen's club members.

The Humanistic and Historical Meaning of Línea 1492

Industry consensus: Línea 1492 is Cohiba's "humanistic series" -- unlike the purely craftsmanship-focused positioning of Línea Clásica, Línea 1492 emphasizes Cohiba's connection with Columbus, tobacco history, and the cultural narrative of 500 years.

For gentlemen's club members, collecting a complete set of Línea 1492 (Siglo I to VI) is equivalent to owning "a material archive of 500 years of cigar culture."

Stage 5: Maduro 5 Series (2007)

2007: Cohiba's Rare Maduro Attempt

2007: Habanos launched the Cohiba Línea Maduro 5 series -- a rare Cohiba Maduro attempt in the industry.

Meaning of "Maduro 5": Maduro (dark-fermented) wrapper with 5 years of mandatory aging.

3 vitolas:

• Cohiba Maduro 5 Mágicos (52x115 mm)
• Cohiba Maduro 5 Maravillas (55x140 mm)
• Cohiba Maduro 5 Genios (52x140 mm)

Industry Debate Around Maduro 5

Industry views on Maduro 5 are divided:

Supporters' view:

• Maduro 5 expands Cohiba's flavor spectrum
• The 5-year-aged wrapper provides deep and complex layers
• It gives gentlemen who prefer maduro flavors a Cohiba option

Opponents' view:

• Cohiba's core positioning is the delicacy and elegance of natural wrapper; it does not need Maduro
• Maduro 5 deviates from the craftsmanship spirit of Lara-era Cohiba
• It should be left to other Cuban brands (Partagás Maduro No.1, etc.)

Final market response: Maduro 5 has remained niche -- mainstream Cohiba players still prefer the natural wrappers of Línea Clásica and Behike.

Stage 6: Two-Stage Launch of the Behike Flagship (2006 + 2010)

2006: The First Behike as the 40th Anniversary Edición Limitada

2006: To commemorate Cohiba's 40th anniversary (1966-2006), Habanos launched Cohiba Behike -- appearing for the first time in the form of an Edición Limitada (limited edition).

Key features of the 2006 Behike:

• Single vitola, limited release
• Wooden box packaging, numbered release
• Only a small allocation worldwide
• Extremely high price: already one of the world's most expensive legal cigars at the time

Origin of the name "Behike": Taíno language, meaning "tribal shaman, leader" -- in the Taíno tribal structure, Behike was both religious leader and healer, with a status higher than ordinary chiefs. Cohiba used this name to emphasize "this is the Cohiba among Cohibas."

The 2006 Behike caused a shock in the industry -- but because it was a limited edition, difficult to obtain, and Habanos had not clearly planned a regular line at the time.

2010: Official Launch of the BHK Series at the XII Habanos Festival

2010: At the XII Habanos Festival, in the setting of celebrating Cohiba's 45th anniversary, Habanos officially launched the Cohiba Behike BHK series as a regular line (permanent line) -- marking Behike's upgrade from a limited collectible to Cohiba's official flagship series.

The 3 vitolas of the BHK series:

1. Cohiba Behike BHK 52 (52x119 mm)

   • Ring gauge 52, length 119 mm
   • "BHK entry model," relatively shorter and easier to appreciate
   • Approximately 60-75 minutes of appreciation time
   • Market price: NT$ 5,000-7,000 per stick

2. Cohiba Behike BHK 54 (54x144 mm)

   • Ring gauge 54, medium flagship
   • Approximately 90 minutes of appreciation time
   • Market price: NT$ 6,000-8,000 per stick

3. Cohiba Behike BHK 56 (56x165 mm)

   • Ring gauge 56, top flagship -- the "king of modern Cohiba"
   • Approximately 120 minutes of appreciation time
   • Market price: NT$ 8,000-12,000 per stick
   • Industry consensus: the pinnacle of contemporary Cuban cigars

Medio Tiempo: The Core Revolution of the BHK Series

The core craftsmanship innovation of the Behike BHK series: the use of Medio Tiempo tobacco leaves as a key component of the filler blend.

What is Medio Tiempo?

• The rarest tobacco leaf grade at the top of Cuban tobacco plants
• Position: above ligero (top leaves), at the very top of the plant
• Not all tobacco plants have Medio Tiempo -- only some plants under the best growing conditions will produce an additional 1-2 leaves above the top ligero
• Directly receives the strongest sunlight, with the highest oil content and highest nicotine concentration
• Extremely rich in flavor and the highest in complexity

Industry consensus: Medio Tiempo is the "Crown Jewel of Tobacco Leaves" -- before Cohiba Behike, it had never appeared as a core blend component in any brand.

Behike's Global Quotas and Collectible Status

Strictness of the global quota system:

• Extremely rare annual global production
• Strict allocations by country (limited by Medio Tiempo supply)
• Extremely difficult to obtain -- quota distributors often reserve them for long-term VIP customers

Collecting market status:

• Behike has become an object pursued by collectors worldwide
• Auction market prices can reach 2-5 times the original retail price
• Well-preserved early-year BHK 56 (2010-2012) can reach NT$ 25,000+ per stick at auction

Stage 7: Contemporary Development and Limited Edition Strategy (2010-2026)

Edición Limitada Annual Limited Editions

During 2010-2025, Cohiba continued to release Edición Limitada (annual limited editions):

• Cohiba Pirámides Extra (first released in 2012, later became a regular line)
• Cohiba 1966 (2011, commemorating the founding year)
• Cohiba Talismán (2017)
• Cohiba Espléndidos Limitada (multiple years)

Characteristics of each year's Edición Limitada:

• Use of tobacco leaves aged for a longer period
• Special vitola formats
• Limited release, pursued by collectors

Edición Regional Regional Editions

Edición Regional is a limited format designed by Habanos for specific regional markets:

• Asia regional editions (Asia-Pacific market, including Taiwan / Hong Kong / Japan)
• Europe regional editions (Spain / Germany / United Kingdom / Switzerland each have their own editions)
• Latin America regional editions

Asia regional edition Cohiba represents a special collecting opportunity accessible to Taiwan gentlemen's club members through PCC authorized dealers.

Reservas and Gran Reservas: Ultra-Top-Tier Limited Editions

Cohiba Reserva: tobacco leaves aged at least 3 years Cohiba Gran Reserva: tobacco leaves aged at least 5 years

These two series are the top of the top within Cohiba, released in limited quantities and numbered at the factory -- they are among the highest-tier objects in contemporary Cuban cigars.

2016: 50th Anniversary Celebration

2016: Commemorating Cohiba's 50th anniversary (1966-2016) -- the theme year of the Habanos Festival.

Commemorative activities:

• Special packaging Cohiba 50 Aniversario
• Global touring exhibitions
• Charity auction (the annual climax of the Habanos Festival auction)

2026: 60th Anniversary Planning

2026: Cohiba will celebrate its 60th anniversary. Plans anticipated by the industry:

• Expected launch of a new limited edition
• Global commemorative events
• Habanos Festival 2026 will be themed around Cohiba 60
• Highly watched by the industry

Why Has Cohiba Been Mythologized? Five Structural Reasons

Reason 1: The Historical Legend of Castro's Personal Cigar

"What did Castro smoke?" This question itself is one of the most globally watched cigar narratives of the second half of the 20th century -- combined with the scarcity created by the U.S. embargo preventing Cohiba from circulating legally in the U.S. market, these dual forces gave Cohiba the legendary status of "forbidden fruit" in the minds of top cigar players worldwide.

Reason 2: El Laguito Factory's Unique Exclusive Status Worldwide

El Laguito is the only cigar factory in the world that produces only Cohiba -- factories for other Cuban brands (such as Partagás and Romeo y Julieta) all produce multiple brands at the same time; only El Laguito serves a single brand, Cohiba. This "exclusive factory" status is unique in the global cigar industry.

Together with the factory's historical symbolism (sugar magnate's villa -> revolutionary socialist factory -> all-female workforce tradition -> Lara craftsmanship spirit) -- El Laguito itself is a legendary space in the cigar world.

Reason 3: The Irreplicability of Behike and Medio Tiempo

The rarity of Medio Tiempo tobacco leaves is physical, not a marketing term -- only some tobacco plants under optimal growing conditions will produce them. This rarity at the leaf-grade level is a competitive barrier that no other brand can replicate.

The Behike BHK series has therefore become an irreplicable top-tier representative of modern Cuban cigars.

Reason 4: The Luxury Aura Created by the Price Threshold

BHK 56 at NT$ 8,000+ per stick -- naturally filters for true cigar players and filters out tourists who only want to take photos and show off. This price threshold creates a natural class screening in the global ultra-luxury cigar market.

Reason 5: Global Collector Competition and Counterfeit Suppression

The quota system makes authentic Cohiba extremely rare in collectors' eyes -- combined with rampant counterfeiting (the industry estimates that 50-70% of Cohiba circulating globally are counterfeits) -- the market value of authentic Cohiba is pushed upward by two forces:

• Quotas restrict supply
• Counterfeits dilute authentic products
• Collectors pursue them

Together, these three forces drive Cohiba's luxury aura.

Advanced Cohiba Observations for Gentlemen's Club Members

Observation 1: The 4 Cohiba Representative Works

Industry consensus: the 4 representative formats for a complete Cohiba appreciation path:

1. Cohiba Robustos (classic icon of Línea Clásica, required entry for Cohiba)
2. Cohiba Siglo VI (mid-level flagship of Línea 1492, 500-year humanistic narrative)
3. Cohiba Behike BHK 52 (entry to the BHK series, experience Medio Tiempo flavor)
4. Cohiba Behike BHK 56 (Holy Grail level, the pinnacle of modern Cuban cigars)

Other vitolas are "advanced options" -- not required, but each has unique appreciation value.

Observation 2: The Quality Leap of Cohiba Aged 5+ Years

Industry consensus: Cohiba aged 5+ years -- compared with fresh versions, the flavor is rounder and the layers are richer.

Cohiba's aging potential:

• 5 years of aging: sharpness disappears, balance improves
• 10 years of aging: layers fully open, complexity reaches its peak
• 15+ years of aging: enters the realm of "old Cohiba," with oil oxidation forming new flavor dimensions

The W Cigar Bar VIP cigar lockers are a professional maturation space -- 70% / 18°C constant year-round, providing the best environment for 5-15 years of Cohiba aging.

Observation 3: Procurement Through Four Official Channels Is the Best Safeguard for Taiwan Players

Because Cohiba counterfeits are rampant -- procurement through the four official channels is the best safeguard for Taiwan gentlemen's club members:

1. PCC authorized dealers (the main Asia-Pacific distribution backbone of Habanos S.A.)
2. Official Cuban state-run stores (Habanos global retail network)
3. Swiss general distributor (Davidoff system cigar product line)
4. Spanish general distributor (Tabacalera system)

All Cohiba procurement by W Cigar Bar Gentlemen's Cigar House is through the four official channels above, providing gentlemen's club members with a 100% authenticity guarantee.

Observation 4: The Modern Marketing Meaning of Cohiba's 60 Years Surpassing Partagás's 181 Years

Many cigar players do not know: Partagás (founded 1845) is 121 years older than Cohiba (1966). Yet Cohiba surpassed all century-old Cuban brands within 60 years and became the king of cigars worldwide.

The meaning of this phenomenon is not only a victory for Cohiba's brand marketing, but also a structural transformation in the narrative power of the modern cigar industry:

• Advantages of century-old brands: historical depth, family heritage, geographic connection
• Cohiba's advantages: political narrative (Castro's personal cigar), factory exclusivity (El Laguito), craftsmanship innovation (Medio Tiempo), quota scarcity, modern marketing

Competition in the contemporary cigar industry is no longer only "who has the longer history," but "who can construct stronger narrative density." The true reason Cohiba's 60 years surpassed Partagás's 181 years is that Cohiba constructed strong narratives at every historical node -- while century-old brands often suffer from narrative fatigue precisely because their histories are too long.

This is a structural lesson that any brand seeking to enter the top-tier cigar market today (including new Asian brands such as Capadura) must understand.

Conclusion

Cohiba's 60 years -- from Castro's personal secret cigar in 1966, to formal establishment by Cubatabaco in 1968, to public launch at the Spain World Cup in 1982, to the completion of Línea Clásica in 1989, to Línea 1492 commemorating the 500th anniversary of Columbus in 1992, to the first Behike release as the 40th anniversary limited edition in 2006, to the BHK series officially becoming a regular line in 2010, and to the 60th anniversary celebration in 2026 -- are a microcosm of modern Cuban cigar civilization.

When you understand Cohiba's history, you understand the context of the entire modern Cuban cigar industry: its craftsmanship positioning (Avelino Lara), its political narrative (Castro), its factory status (El Laguito), its tobacco leaf revolution (Medio Tiempo), its quota strategy (Habanos S.A.), and its global mythologization (counterfeit suppression + collector pursuit) -- every element is a model case for the contemporary cigar industry.

For W Cigar Bar gentlemen's club members, collecting Cohiba is not only owning top-tier cigars, but also owning an ongoing historical document -- starting from the Cohiba Robustos you light today, you become a contemporary witness to Cohiba's 60-year history.
