Cohiba Rubicon Robusto Box-Press

The Cohiba Rubicon Robusto Box-Press represents a bold, non-Cuban expression of one of the most recognizable names in cigars. Crafted in Honduras by General Cigar Co., the Rubicon line was created to showcase richer tobaccos and a more contemporary, fuller-bodied blend while maintaining balance and refinement.

This box-pressed robusto is wrapped in a dark, oily Honduran Habano wrapper over a Honduran binder and a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Construction is firm and precise, delivering an even burn and dense, creamy smoke. The profile opens with espresso, dark cocoa, and black pepper, followed by leather, toasted oak, and hints of molasses. As the cigar develops, subtle sweetness emerges—brown sugar and dried fruit—balanced by lingering spice and a warm, satisfying finish. Pair with El Dorado 15-Year Rum for a complementary, luxurious experience.

Honduras has been a tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing area for hundreds of years, but it was the Communist revolution in Cuba that really put Honduras on the map. In the 1960s, many Cuban cigar makers fled their homeland and arrived in Honduras to re-establish their way of life. The immigrants took advantage of the climate, soil, and geography, which were well-suited to tobacco growing, and began producing high quality cigars. The center of the Honduran cigar industry is the city of Danli and the nearby Jamastran Valley. The majority of the world’s pure Corojo tobacco is grown here, now that Cuba has stopped production of this iconic, spicy, and rich variety in favor of Corojo hybrids. Other important areas of Honduran cigar production include the Talanga Valley, Copan, and Trojes.
