The Cohiba cigars sold in the US are a non-Cuban line, historically sold by General Cigar and, since February 2026, by Forged Cigar Co.; the Cuban Cohiba is a separate Habanos brand created in 1966. Cohiba Red Dot and Cohiba Blue are made in the Dominican Republic, while Cohiba Rubicon is handcrafted at the HATSA factory in Danlí, Honduras. Strength in our selection runs from medium to full. Typical notes: Blue is creamy and savory with a Honduran Habano wrapper, Red Dot pairs a Cameroon wrapper with a dimensional, slightly spicy smoke, Rubicon is a rich, complex, medium-bodied cigar with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper (the Robusto is box-pressed), and Black brings dark chocolate and earth under a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Start with Cohiba Blue or the original Cohiba Red Dot, then move to Cohiba Black for a fuller smoke.
Cohiba Cigars
Cohiba Cigars is one of the most iconic names in the cigar world, originally created in Cuba as a ultra-premium brand for Fidel Castro and now recognized globally as the flagship label of Habanos. Outside Cuba, the Cohiba name also appears on non-Cuban blends for the U.S. market, made in the Dominican Republic and Honduras, offering refined, medium-to-full-bodied cigars known for their rich complexity, smoothness, and unmistakable luxury appeal.

In Oxford Cigar Company's selection they range from medium to full. Cohiba Blue, Cohiba Red Dot and Cohiba Rubicon are listed as medium-bodied, and Cohiba Black is listed as full-bodied. Strength depends on the blend, so choose by line rather than by the brand name.
Which Cohiba should I try first, and how do the lines differ?
Cohiba Blue is an easy start: General Cigar pitched it as an approachable, everyday Cohiba, and it typically smokes creamy and savory on a Honduran Habano wrapper. Cohiba Red Dot is the original line, with a Cameroon wrapper, an Indonesian Jember binder and Dominican Piloto Cubano filler, and typically gives a dimensional, slightly spicy smoke. Cohiba Rubicon is a rich, complex, medium-bodied cigar made in Honduras with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper; its Robusto size is box-pressed. Cohiba Black is the fullest choice, with a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and typical notes of dark chocolate and earth.
