Since the day Cuban cigars were discovered, they have enjoyed a healthy growth with period of slowness every once in a while.

Sometimes you would share them with a rest of your friends, sometimes you would simply keep them to your yourself.

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. Ofcourse I can go an on about Cohiba cigars but I’ll save that for another time.
