About Cohiba (United States)
General Cigar Company, a Scandinavian Tobacco Group subsidiary, has sold a Dominican-made "Cohiba" in the United States since the early 1980s and holds US federal trademark registrations for the name dating to 1981. The name has been fought over for decades: General Cigar's own account of the dispute describes a US Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ruling that dismissed a petition by Cuba's Cubatabaco to cancel its registrations, which the company calls an affirmation of its US ownership, though the two sides have kept litigating the US registration since. Outside the United States, Cohiba is a wholly different, unrelated Cuban-made product sold worldwide by Habanos S.A.; the split exists only because the US trade embargo on Cuba has closed the American market to Cuban cigars since 1962.
