Cohiba Cigars: Banned in Brazil

Cohiba Cigars: Banned in Brazil

It’s pretty safe to say that most aficionados will agree with us when we say Cohiba is one of the best Cuban cigar brands in the world. It’s one of the most highly sought after brands from our Cuban cigar shop. So, you can imagine the horror that our Brazilian friends must’ve felt when they heard that Brazil has officially banned the sale of Cohiba back in July. Of course, they left everyone baffled as to why they would have done such a thing! Their official justification came from the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency. They’ve claimed to discover an excessive amount of sorbic acid – a natural and organic compound used in food as a preservative. 

BAN WITHDRAWN – The importer Emporium, have worked with Cohiba for 20 years and they challenged this claim. The Emporium found that there was no inclusion of any additive as the tobacco is a 100% natural product. The presence of any other substances is down to the natural curing and fermentation process the tobacco goes through. This complaint led to the withdrawal of the ban and Cohiba remains on the Brazilian shelves while the matter is legally settled.
