Cohiba tells BourbonBlog.com that they are releasing of the Riviera Toro Tubo, a new addition to the critically acclaimed Riviera line.
The cigar maintains the blend’s signature box-pressed construction and features a square aluminum tubo. First introduced in 2023, Cohiba Riviera made its event premiere at the 2023 Smokes & Sips Derby Soirée — cohosted by BourbonBlog.com’s Tom Fischer, Cohiba’s Sean Williams, and Jason Brauner. It marked a departure for the brand, featuring a San Andrés wrapper and a box-pressed format — both firsts for Cohiba.
Since launch, Riviera has received multiple accolades across all four of its available vitolas.
The Riviera blend is handcrafted in Nicaragua and features a San Andrés wrapper, Honduran Connecticut binder, and a four-leaf filler from Honduras’ Jamastran and La Entrada regions and Nicaragua’s Condega and Estelí. Medium to full-bodied in strength, Riviera is marked by its complexity, balance and nuance.
