I was reading an interview from 1994 with Fidel Castro, did you know that Cohiba was founded part by him? What happened was, Castro's bodyguard was smoking a cigar that smelled good to Castro. Castro asked him where he got that cigar from and the bodyguard took him to a friend who made his own cigars. Castro had a factory built and they named the brand Cohiba, since that is what the Natives call cigars. That also explains the head on the box.
