Cohiba Riviera Perfecto Box-Pressed (6″ x 60)

Length:  6″
Ring Gauge: 60

The Cohiba Riviera boasts a couple of firsts for the brand. It’s the first box-pressed Cohiba and the first Cohiba to use a Mexican San Andres wrapper. Underneath that Mexican wrapper is a Honduran binder and four different fillers: tobaccos from the Jamastran Valley and La Entrada in Honduras and Nicaraguan tobaccos from Condega and Estelí. Whil most of the Cohiba portfolio is made in the Dominican Republic, Cohiba Riviera is made in Esteli, Nicaragua. “Cohiba Riviera is a bold yet balanced blend of the most exceptional tobaccos from Nicaragua with exclusively-grown tobaccos from Honduras,” said Sean Williams, brand ambassador for Cohiba, in a press release when the cigar was announced last month. “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.”
