About this cigar
Cohiba's legendary mastery of Cuban seed tobacco finds its fullest expression in the Riviera Box Pressed Perfecto. This is the cigar that demands respect from anyone serious about their collection. The perfecto format, with its tapered head and fuller body, allows the blend to unfold in stages, revealing layers that a straight vitola simply cannot achieve. Box pressing creates a subtle density that controls the draw and burn, marking this as a refined choice for knowledgeable smokers. The Cuban Seed wrapper carries the expected pepper and woodsmoke, but here it's balanced with surprising creaminess in the early third, followed by cocoa notes and a building spice through the final act. Medium-plus body with excellent complexity. This is the cigar for after a steakhouse dinner when you have time to settle in, or during a contemplative evening when you want the blend itself to be the conversation. For lounge owners and retailers with discerning clientele, the Riviera Perfecto signals confidence in your humidor. The 10-count box is an ideal hand-sell for customers looking to step beyond standard offerings without venturing into super-premium price territory.
