The Haytian word tabaco, which designated the pipe from which they sucked the smoke into their nostrils, and also the roll of leaves, for they employed both methods, has passed over to the weed. The pipe was a hollow tube in the shape of a Y, the mystic letter of Pythagoras: the two branches were applied to the nose, and the stem was held over the burning leaves. The weed itself was called cohiba.

The Cuban word for this plant was cohiba.
