When Cuban cigars were first made available, they have exploded on to the scene. Yes their were times when things were a little slow, but they have always been steady.

The complexity of the flavors involved and the pure dexterity of the Cuban cigar just can’t be matched.

Although Cuban cigars are ready to be enjoy straight out of the box (Which usually has 25 cigars), If you let them age for a while, you will be pleasantly surprised. I’m not talking about couple of days or months, I’m talking about years. The Cohiba brand already has aged leaves in them thus making it extra special.
