And this is the one many Americans have been waiting for, no more restrictions on the island's famed rum and cigars.

It was first created in 1966 for Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro himself and was then top secret. It soon became Cuban gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats. Since 1982 Cohiba has been available in limited quantities to the open market. The name ''Cohiba'' is an ancient Taino Indian word for the bunches of tobacco leaves that Columbus first saw being smoked by the original inhabitants of Cuba.
