The Cohiba brand has been a powerhouse in cigars for what seems like forever. Built on tradition and excellence, we don't get to see as much innovation from the brand as I think many people would like. With that said, I am happy to introduce Cohiba's newest addition to their portfolio: Cohiba Riviera.

Aside from being the newest Cohiba blend, Riviera also marks the first time that the brand has used a Mexican San Andres wrapper, and the first time that one of their blends is box-pressed. Riviera utilizes a Mexican San Andres wrapper, a Honduran binder, and a blend of four different filler tobaccos from Honduras and Nicaragua. Nuanced and elegant, the Riviera blend is a breath of fresh air for Cohiba, and has all the makings to be a standout star in their portfolio.
