The Cohiba Riviera cigar was a breakout moment for the legendary brand—marking the first time a non-Cuban Cohiba featured a Mexican San Andrés wrapper and the first-ever box-pressed Cohiba from General Cigar Co. Now, one of its most popular sizes—the Toro (6½" x 52)—returns with sleek new packaging in aluminum tubos, offering added portability and protection without compromising the experience.
Handcrafted at STG Estelí factory in Nicaragua, the Riviera Toro Tubo cigar showcases a bold, complex blend. At its core: a Connecticut-seed Honduran binder, with fillers from Honduras’ Jamastran Valley and La Entrada, along with Nicaraguan tobaccos from Condega and Estelí. The cigar’s standout feature remains the San Andrés wrapper, which brings body, depth, and signature Mexican earthiness to the forefront.
What does the Cohiba Riviera Toro Tubo cigar taste like?
Expect a medium-bodied experience, layered and balanced. The San Andrés wrapper leads with rich earth, dark cocoa, and roasted coffee, while the Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers add structure with notes of black pepper, cedar, and subtle baking spice. The box-pressed format gives it a cooler draw and even burn, and now with the tubo presentation, it’s ready to travel wherever your humidor can’t. A refined, modern Cohiba cigar that lives up to the name.
