Cohiba Riviera Box-Pressed Perfecto (6 x 60)

Cohiba Riviera Box-Pressed Perfecto is the newest addition to my premium cigar collection. The cigar initially peaked my interest because it was billed has having several firsts for this iconic Cuban heritage brand. The cigar is the first-ever box-pressed offering by Cohiba, It’s also the first time that Cohiba has used a San Andrés wrapper and Nicaraguan Condega long filler tobacco for any blend.

These “firsts” provided an exceptionally flavorful smoke that was unlike any other Cohiba that I have ever tried. After torching this stunning 6 x 60 box Perfecto, I was greeted by enchanting flavors of black pepper, cinnamon , leather, sweet spices, and coffee bean. Buy a box of 10, or a few singles and sample one of the richest and tastiest cigars in the Cohiba brand portfolio.

A Historic “First” for the Iconic Red Dot

The Cohiba Riviera Box-Pressed Perfecto is more than just a new vitola; it is a landmark release in the Cohiba legacy. As the first-ever regular production box-pressed offering from the brand, the Riviera invites enthusiasts to explore a bolder, more modern side of this legendary name.

The Blend: Rare Terroir & San Andrés Soul

The Riviera marks the debut of the Mexican San Andrés wrapper in a Cohiba blend a dark, toothy leaf grown in the volcanic soil of the San Andrés Valley. Beneath this oily exterior lies a sophisticated interior: a Honduran Connecticut binder holding together a complex filler of aged tobaccos from Honduras (Jamastran and La Entrada) and Nicaragua (Condega and Estelí).

Tasting Notes & Experience

In the generous 6 x 60 Perfecto format, the cigar begins with a focused, spicy start due to the tapered foot, gradually opening up into a voluminous, creamy smoke. Expect a medium-to-full-bodied profile layered with:

• Rich Dark Chocolate: A signature of the San Andrés wrapper.

• Roasted Coffee Beans: Adding a sophisticated bitterness.

• Subtle Spice & Cream: Hints of white pepper balanced by a silky finish.

Whether you are a seasoned collector or looking for a momentous celebration smoke, the Cohiba Riviera Box-Pressed Perfecto delivers a masterclass in construction and flavor harmony.
