Talk:Cohiba (cigar brand)

Cuban Revolution
I would like to remove the paren. expression "since the Cuban Revolution" as the Cohiba brand did not come into existence until 1966, per Min Ron Nee, “An illustrated encyclopaedia of post-revolution havana cigars”, Interpro Business Corporation, 2003. I'll leave this up for comment for a week or so and if there's no objection remove it then.

Pyràmide
I read on the net today about the new 2006 edición limitada pyràmide becoming available in shops. It's supposedly a 52 gauge pyramid using rich, dark wrapper leaf in sold a box with ten cigars. The last line of the second paragraph should get altered to reflect the new situation...


 * The 2006 Cohiba EL has not been seen yet (to my knowledge). Can we wait until there is confirmation? My understanding is the they are expected in November. AKAJack 18:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Behike
The behike, rolled by Norma Fernandez Sastre, is sold in a custom made humidor for 15.000 euro (18.000 USD) each, with demand greater than the 4.000 unit supply. The behike is 52 gauge, and 7.5 inches long. Cigar Aficionado and others have articles about this. Zuiram 20:19, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Cubatabaco/General Cigar legal battle
I added a summary of the results of the U. S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals 2005 decision in favor of General and the June 2006 U. S. Supreme Court's denial of Cubatabaco's petition. Also indicated C/t's descision to pursue another course. This isn't quite over yet!. . .  Glacierman 22:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Proposal for WikiProject Cigars
I have initiated a proposal for WikiProject Cigars, dedicated to improving the coverage of cigar brands, the cigar making process, and other cigar-related matters on Wikipedia. If you are interested in participating in the project or would like to weigh in, pro or con, on this idea, please pay a quick visit to WikiProject Council/Proposals/Cigars. Thanks! —Tim Carrite (talk) 18:21, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Brand name etymology
I deleted the sentence stating that the name derives from the Taíno word for "tobacco".

The wikipedia article on the Taíno says they called tobacco "tabaco" (though also uncited), and wiktionary gives Taíno as a possible etymology for spanish tabaco. It's very unlikely that was pronounced anywhere near "cohiba". A more likely candidate (going off sound alone) would be Spanish "cohibir" - "to restrain", but I have no sources to back that up. Or, maybe "cohiba" in Taíno was a specific form of tobacco, or an item related to smoking? Like rolled leaves, or a pipe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.65.100.207 (talk) 18:01, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
