513 years on, it can mean only one thing, the full selection of the Cohiba brand just for you. In 1492, during Columbus' first voyage to the "new world", he visited the island of Cuba. His sailors were introduced to "Cohiba" by the island natives, a bunch of dried leaves that were smoked in a pipe called a "Puros". The Myth was born. In 1982, three types of Cohiba Cuban cigars were introduced to non-diplomats: the Lanceros, the Coronas Especiales and the Panatelas. Three more vitoles were added to the brand in 1989: the Espléndidos, the Robustos and the Exquisitos, completing what is known as "La Línea Clasica". Five more vitoles were added in 1992 creating the "Linea 1492": the Siglo I, II, III, IV and V. Cohiba remains the "King of the Cubans". Further additions were the now famous Cohiba Siglo VI, to make up the full line of the 1492 Linea. Cohiba’s Limited Edicion cigars have been more and more exciting, culminating with last years’ Cohiba Sublimes. THE big smoke !
