Meaning and background
The story behind Cohiba
Cohiba has a documented cigar-brand association. Habanos records the brand's creation in 1966 and later anniversary releases, giving the name a particular product-history connection rather than a generic claim of luxury. A dog owner may choose the spelling through a personal memory or interest in the brand. This source supports that association without establishing an ancient-language given-name translation or implying endorsement of the pet name.
