Hispanocuban Habanos Joyful After US Ruling Solidifying Historic Cohiba Rights
- Habanos celebrated a 2025 decision by a US federal court affirming that Cuba’s state-owned tobacco company holds the trademark rights to Cohiba within the United States.
- This ruling concluded a legal battle beginning in 1997 after Cuba's Cubatabaco challenged General Cigar’s use of the Cohiba name in the American market.
- The judgment by Judge Leonie Brinkema recognized Cubatabaco’s rights despite the ongoing US embargo blocking Cuban cigar sales in the country.
- Habanos Legal Director Lisset Fernández García emphasized that the company has consistently asserted Cuban ownership of the Cohiba brand, underscoring the importance of the court's decision.
- The decision removes doubts about rightful ownership but any wider US market sale of Cohiba depends on future changes to US trade sanctions.
