What Makes Cohiba Unique?

Unlike all other Cuban brands, the Seco and Ligero filler leaves of Cohiba undergo an exclusive third fermentation inside wooden oak barrels. This additional proprietary aging eliminates residual tannins and delivers Cohiba’s legendary silky, vanilla, and grassy-honey aroma.
