Cohiba 55 Aniversario – Colección Habanos Edición 2021 – Ideales

The history of Cohiba began in 1966 when these cigars were initially used as gifts for high-ranking members of the government. The Cuban leader Fidel Castro discovered their special vitolas and was immediately impressed. Since then, Cohiba has been produced in the renowned El Laguito factory in Havana and has become a living legend in cigar history.

In the 1960s, Fidel Castro's bodyguard, Bienvenido "Chicho" Pérez, offered him a unique cigar - an unmistakable format with an extraordinary aroma. Castro fell in love with the taste and soon after met Eduardo Rivera, a talented torcedor and friend of his bodyguard. Rivera became Castro's personal cigar roller and founded a small manufactory in 1964, which later became the legendary El Laguito factory. Selected female cigar rollers worked there, including Norma Fernández, who launched the Cohiba brand in 1966 - laying the foundations for one of the most exclusive brands of Habanos S.A.

From 1982 onwards, Cohiba cigars were also available internationally to discerning connoisseurs. To mark the brand's 55th anniversary, Habanos S.A. presented the Cohiba 55 Aniversario Edición Limitada in 2021 – a coveted rarity for collectors and lovers of fine tobacco craftsmanship.

Since 2002, Habanos S.A. has released an exceptional cigar format every year in the form of a book humidor in the "Colección Habanos" series. The series is aimed at collectors of fine cigars and features large, impressive formats.

The Cohiba Ideales book humidor is the 2021 edition of the Colección Habanos. With an impressive ring gauge of 56 and a length of 175 mm, the format is known as "Modernas" at the El Laguito factory. The edition is strictly limited to 3,000 humidors of 20 cigars each.

The Cohiba Ideales combines the brand's 55th anniversary with the Colección Habanos collector's series – an edition primarily for collectors and connoisseurs.
