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.

If you have a Cohiba in your mouth, your social status jumps by 100 fold. The word Cohiba and Cuban cigars simply go hand in hand. Surrounded by mysticism, the Cohiba brand is hands down the king of Cuban cigars. 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'. The Cohiba cigar didn't even have a name, it was just something the bodyguard of Castro got from his buddy who hand rolled it. Once Castro tried it out he gave his friend a mansion to roll as many as he can while having his best guards secure the mansion.

Yes the Cohiba was hidden from the world for 14 and only Castro and his friends enjoyed them. Why so much secrecy? Words can't describe the beauty this the Cohiba cigar. It is nothing short of a masterpiece. 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 is the top selling brand of all the Cuban cigars and continues the tradition of fine Cuban cigars. 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. If you like great taste and prefer a fresher cigar, the Romeo's should be your choice.
