Cohiba will welcome its first full-time new collection since 2020 with Cohiba Riviera, a six-region blend that features the very best of Central American tobacco and is named after the lush San Andrés Tuxtla Valley that bore the cigar’s wrapper.
Cohiba Riviera marks to first for the Cohiba Brand:
- first time a Mexican San Andrés wrapper has been used in a Cohiba blend
- first box-pressed offering from the brand
Cohiba Brand Ambassador Sean Williams said,
“Cohiba Riviera is a bold yet balanced blend of the most exceptional tobaccos from Nicaragua with exclusively-grown tobaccos from Honduras. Medium-to-full bodied and adorned with a delectable wrapper from Mexico, Riviera is an elegant selection offering notes of dark chocolate and coffee bean with a hint of leather and subtle cream on the finish.”
The three-cigar collection is handcrafted in Nicaragua at STG Estelí with a blend described as:
- Wrapper – Mexican San Andrés
- Binder – Honduran-grown Connecticut
- Filler – Proprietary Honduran Jamastran and Honduran La Entrada, plus Nicaraguan Condega and Estelí.
