Miami Beach, FL – November 4, 2010 – Team EpiphanyCOHIBA Cigars, and Hennessy teamed up once again to bring us The Red Dot Ritual at the SOHO Beach House on thursday night. As a members only club, privileged guests enjoyed appetizers, chilled cocktails, hand rolled cigars (not to mention the Hundred of COHIBA’s laying around) and sounds by DJ Ross One. Attendants included top chefs Dale Talbe & Angelo Sosa.

During Christopher Columbus’ second voyage to the New World in 1496, he revisited western Hispaniola, which is now known as the Dominican Republic. To his surprise, he discovered that the Taino Indians of Hispaniola were smoking leaves of cured tobacco. “Cohiba,” they called it.

Today, Cohiba remains as much a part of Dominican history as ever.  Cohiba uses the finest tobaccos and master rollers in engineering and constructing its cigars. The dark, rich wrapper leaf grown in the sub-tropical West African climate of Cameroon gives the cigar a sweet and rich aroma. The collection of medium- to full-bodied smokes exemplifies style and sophistication. In addition to the hallmark Red Dot brand, Cohiba also features the following fine, handcrafted expressions: Cohiba XV, Cohiba Black and Cohiba Puro Dominicana.

Sculpted to the highest standards and premium flavor, Cohiba is a must-have for any cigar connoisseur. It continues to remain as one of the most revered names in cigars and symbolizes a life of attainable elegance.
