Cohiba is a brand of cigarettes produced by Habanos S.A., the Cuban state-owned tobacco company. The brand is named after the famous Cohiba cigars, which are also produced by Habanos S.A. The cigarettes are known for their premium quality and are marketed as a luxury product.

History

The Cohiba cigarette brand was introduced in the early 1980s. It was developed to capitalize on the prestige of the Cohiba cigar brand, which was established in 1966 and became one of the most recognized and sought-after cigar brands in the world. The cigarettes are made using a blend of high-quality Cuban tobacco, which is also used in the production of Cohiba cigars.

Production

Cohiba cigarettes are manufactured in Cuba and are primarily sold in the domestic market and in select international markets. The production process involves the use of premium tobacco leaves, which are carefully selected and processed to ensure a high-quality smoking experience. The cigarettes are available in various formats, including regular and menthol.

Packaging

The packaging of Cohiba cigarettes is designed to reflect the luxury and exclusivity of the brand. The packs typically feature the distinctive Cohiba logo, which includes a silhouette of a Taino Indian head, and the brand's signature black, white, and gold color scheme. The packaging is intended to evoke the same sense of sophistication and elegance associated with Cohiba cigars.

Market and Availability

Cohiba cigarettes are considered a premium product and are priced higher than many other cigarette brands. They are available in select markets around the world, including Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Due to their association with the prestigious Cohiba cigar brand, they are often sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.

Health Concerns

As with all tobacco products, smoking Cohiba cigarettes poses significant health risks. The use of tobacco is associated with a range of serious health issues, including lung cancer, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Public health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), strongly advise against the use of tobacco products.
