The Cohiba Nicaragua is a new line that was launched by General Cigar Company at the 2014 IPCPR Trade Show. Over the past year, the General Cigar’s Cohiba brand has made a lot of headlines. Most recently, a blow was dealt to the brand when the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear a case that would challenge a U.S. Court of Appeals decision that gave Cubatabaco the rights to use the Cohiba trademark. Desptite that on-going battle, the General Cigar brand has been very active as of late. The past year has seen the release of the Cohiba Comador, the Cohiba Luxury Selection, as well as the Cohiba Nicaragua. While it is not a Nicaraguan puro, the Cohiba Nicaragua is significant because it has become the first cigar in this brand to be made in Nicaragua. Recently I’ve had an opportunity to smoke the Cohiba Nicaragua N50 En Crystale (a Robusto sized offering). Overall I have found this to be an excellent addition to General’s Cohiba line.
