In Cuba in 1492 the Spanish expedition commanded by Christopher Columbus saw tobacco for the first time in the New World. The Taino Indians rolled up and burned mysterious leaves, which they called "Cohiba", in a ceremony unknown to explorers. Since that starting point, more than five hundred years ago, tobacco has been traded and planted all over the world. Since its discovery, Tabaco Negro Cubano or Cuban Black Tobacco has been considered the best in the world due to the unique growing conditions in certain areas of the island. This distinction remains incontestably valid after more than five centuries.
The heart of the distinction is tobacco and its taste born from a combination of four factors existing on the island: the soil, the climate, the varieties of Cuban black tobacco seeds and the know-how of growers and cigar manufacturers.
