Review of Cohiba 'Red Dot' Cigars

Monday March 5, 2007
Cohiba may be a brand of cigars that is often imitated, but never duplicated. Genuine Cuban Cohiba cigars are not legal in the U. S., but the General Cigar Company owns the trademark to exclusively market their own Dominican-made Cohiba cigars in the United States. Dominican Cohibas contain no Cuban tobacco, and have red dots on their unique bands to help distinguish them from original Cuban Cohibas. The Cohiba brand name has been a target for counterfeiters and others who have attempted to use the name to market their own less expensive stogies. For more, read my review of the Cohiba Red Dot Robusto cigar.

Cohibas are overrated. Ashtons are much better!

Ashtons are great, but they can be pricey like Cohibas. Saint Luis Rey cigars are also great, but at less than half the price.
