Description

A 2012 release, the Cohiba Piramides Extra is a new vitola in the most exclusive line of the most prestigious Habanos brand. Habanos lovingly refers to this new Cohiba Torpedo as the “Grand Lord”. As in the Cohiba Behike, the exceptional ‘medio tiempo’ tobacco leaf is used in the blend of the cigar, which makes this Habano so special with a unique flavor and strong character. This cigar is so complex that won’t let you go before you are satisfied, feeling that goes on well long after you are done smoking.

The factory name Pirámides Extra (ring gauge 54 x 160 mm in length) is produced exclusively in Cohiba.

Characteristic of this Cohiba is an innovative band with holographic elements, making identification easy for Habanos lovers and enhancing the exclusivity of the Cohiba brand.

It was created in 1966 for President Fidel Castro himself and was made at the then top secret but now world famous El Laguito factory. At first, it was only seen outside Cuba as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats.

Since 1982 Cohiba has been available in limited quantities to the open market.The name is an ancient Taino Indian word for the bunches of tobacco leaves that Columbus first saw being smoked by the original inhabitants of Cuba — the earliest known form of the cigar.

The leaves for Cohiba are the “selection of the selection” from the five finest Vegas Finas de Primera in the San Juan y Martinez and San Luis zones of the Vuelta Abajo region.

Uniquely among Habanos two of Cohiba’s filler leaves, the seco and ligero, undergo a third fermentation in barrels, which adds smoothness to the blend.
