When it comes to Cuban cigars, everyone seems to have their own special brand. Some like the Cohiba (Actually a lot of people like the Cohiba), some like the Fonseca. However, there are three particular brands that are way more popular than the rest of the fine Cuban cigars. The Cohiba, the Montecristo and the Romeo Y Julieta.

When you hear of someone smoking a Cohiba, know that they are somebody. The word Cohiba and Cuban cigars simply go hand in hand. Although officially one of the youngest brands in history of Cuban cigars, this brand it self by various mystical stories. Legend has it that when Columbous first discovered the 'New Land' in 1492, the natives brought him some Cohiba leaves stuffed in a pipe like object that they called 'Tobacco'. One of the proven facts is that the Cohiba originally were a secret brand discovered by a local artisan in Cuba and when Castro himself got his first taste, he was so impressed that he hired the guy to make it for him in a secret mansion for almost 14 years.

Yes the Cohiba was hidden from the world for 14 and only Castro and his friends enjoyed them. Why so much secrecy? The Cohiba is truly the king of cigars, the amount of time, effort and beauty this is required to construct one is phenomenal. From the initial 'cream of the crop' tobacco selection that was carefully aged for 5 years all the way down to the finish where only fine Cuban women are allowed to roll them (They are also considered the best cigar rollers in the world), the Cohiba is simply a piece of art.

The Montecristo is the most sold cigar around the world therefore making it the most popular one. Did you know that the Montecristo was first known as the H. Upmann Montecristo selection? Yes it was actually part of the H.Upmann's. The same brand that was the favorite of the late president John F. Kennedy. The Montecristo was never outdone and carved it's own niche as soon as it exploded on the market. Hollywood fell head over heels over the Montecristo and soon artists like Tom Jones and many more wouldn't be caught dead without one in their mouth. The rich oily wrapper and the soft aroma really took Cuban cigar lovers by storm.

The Romeo Y Julieta is the most popular brand in England. The name as you probably guessed it, was inspired by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. "Pepin" the original founder of the brand actually wanted to purchase the theater where the original play was performed but he ended up getting the balcony. The Romeo Y Julietas are known for fresh tasting and delicious cigars.

Jibran Qazi of the Vancouver cigar company would like to share his love for cuban cigars with you.
