Born from a request by Fidel Castro, Cuba's top rollers were charged with creating a cigar he could enjoy with dignitaries during their visits -- and one which showed his people's prowess for tobacco. (The word cohiba is actually Taíno for "sweet grass," a term referencing the native peoples' description for the leaves used to make what we now know as a cigar.) Despite its longevity in the marketplace, Cohiba is still one of today's top brands worldwide.
'92' rated by Cigar Aficionado, Cohiba Red Dot is the Dominican-made iteration of the brand, and the only one made for the U.S. which legally bears the trademark. Make your humidor (and your wallet) happy with packs of 10 Red Dot Churchill for just $59.99!
The product of five years of intensive research by General Cigar in the Dominican Republic, Red Dot uses a seamless Cameroon wrapper over an aged long-filler blend of Piloto tobaccos. Medium to full-bodied, each Robusto is rich with notes of caramel, roasted peanut, and an underlying creaminess which makes for a wise choice any day of the week.
