Brand History and Availability
Cohiba was the brand favored by Fidel Castro, and the lancero was his preferred vitola. For the first 18 years, Cohiba cigars were not commercially available and were used for Cuban officials and diplomatic gifts. Now, it's commercially available, including in the classic Lancero size. However, it still serves as a diplomatic gift but comes in a different box. There's a question of whether the diplomatic ones are the same as regular production or a different blend.
