Cohíba
History
Quoted from Wikipedia.
Cohíba began with the cigars smoked by a bodyguard of Fidel Castro's named Bienvenido "Chicho" Perez. Castro noticed he often smoked a "very aromatic, very nice" cigar. When asked by Castro what brand he smoked, he replied that it was rolled by a friend of his who would give him some of these special cigars as gifts. The man in question was a cigar roller working at the La Corona factory in Havana named Eduardo Rivera.
Editor's Thoughts
Where to begin. If you get your hands on one enjoy it like you're a king. These medium to full bodied cigars are worth the $20 and up price. I personally like to enjoy them with a snifter of Grand Marnier.
