Cohiba Riviera Robusto Box-Pressed 5" * 52

Rich and chocolatey from the first draw, the Cohiba Riviera delivers bold notes of oak, spice, and leather, culminating in a sweet, nutty finish. This medium-to-full-bodied build is the first Cohiba to feature the prized Mexican San Andrés wrapper, paired with a Honduran binder and a complex filler blend from Honduras and Nicaragua. Representing four distinct fillers and more than a handful of growing regions across three countries, the Riviera showcases a layered, premium smoking experience worthy of the Cohiba name.

• Brands
  Cohiba Riviera

  Since its first release the Cohiba brand created a name for itself by delivering superbly made premium cigars and making "firsts". The Cohiba Riviera is no exception. It is the first Cohiba to sport a Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper, and it is the first to be offered in a box-pressed shape. Underneath its mouthwatering dark wrapper is a Honduran-grown Connecticut binder and a filler composed of Honduran and Nicaraguan leaves. The blend uses proprietary tobacco that comes from Jamastran and La Entrada in Honduras, as well as Esteli and Condega in Nicaragua. These are top premium tobacco growing regions in their respective countries. The Cohiba Riviera is named after the region in the San Andres Tuxtla Valley where this exquisite wrapper’s tobacco is grown. The cigars are handmade in Nicaragua.

  Robusto

  The Robusto is a short Churchill size, traditionally 5 to 5.5 inches by a 50 ring gauge.
• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.

  This cigar is 5 inches long, or 127 mm.

Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
