Flavour & draw

Silky Cohiba cream and sweet hay over cedar and light toast, building to vanilla biscuit, floral honey and toasted hazelnut. Hints of citrus zest and gentle white pepper keep the palate bright, finishing clean and long. The 53 RG keeps the smoke thick and cool; burn is even with a refined, easy draw from first light to band.

FAQs

Cohiba is Cuba’s flagship brand and has a presidential lineage having originally been created for Fidel Castro himself. It is currently the only Habanos brand that includes an extra fermentation for the Seco and Ligero filler leaves in special cedar barrels for its standard range. The extra ageing imparts a unique smoothness and rounding to the blend and has helped establish Cohiba as a worldwide symbol of excellence. Since its creation in 1966 the brand has grown to include four La Líneas; Classica (brand public in 1982), 1492 (first of the Siglo vitolas in 1992), Maduro 5 (2007) and Behike (2010), each with a distinct character and taste.The Cohiba Ambar is the first addition to the brand’s Línea Classica range since the introduction of the Pirámides Extra in 2012. The medium-to-full bodied blend of this Línea is closest to the original Cohiba taste, first introduced to the world in 1982 with the launch of the Lancero, Corona Especial and the Panatela. 

Called a Placeres in the factories of Cuba, this new cigar is a unique size within the Habanos SA portfolio. It measures 5 ¼” (132mm) x 53 ring gauge and is finished with a pig-tail cap. The Ambar is presented in varnished boîte nature box of 10 cigars.
