Most people associate the Cohiba name with Cuba, but the Cohiba cigars available for purchase in the United States are the General Cigar version, handcrafted in the Dominican Republic. This guide covers the three core lines, with the blend details General Cigar publishes.
U.S. law prohibits the sale of Cuban Cohiba due to the trade embargo. Any Cuban Cohiba you find online in the U.S. is either counterfeit or illegal.

Cohiba as a Gift Cigar
The Cohiba name is recognized well beyond the cigar community. If you're buying cigars as a gift for someone who doesn't smoke regularly — a client, a boss, a special occasion — a box of Cohiba Red Dot communicates prestige without requiring expertise.
