Cohiba Introduces Riviera Toro Tubo as Latest Line Extension

April 23, 2025 By Matthew Tabacco

Cohiba has announced the release 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 marked a departure for the brand with a San Andrés wrapper and box-pressed format — both firsts for Cohiba. Since launch, Riviera has received multiple accolades across all four of its available vitolas.

The Riviera lineup now includes the following front marks:

  • Lancero Box-Pressed (7 x 38)
  • Toro Box-Pressed (6 ½ x 52)
  • Toro Box-Pressed Tubo (6 ½ x 52)
  • Perfecto Box-Pressed (6 x 60)
  • Robusto Box-Pressed (5 x 52)

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.

“Riviera has been one of the most talked-about blends in the Cohiba portfolio,” said Cohiba Brand Ambassador Sean Williams. “The response from both critics and fans has been incredible. A tubo offering for this blend is something we’ve been asked about since launch, and we’re excited to finally deliver it.”

The Riviera Toro Tubo is a full-time addition to the line and is offered in a 6 ½ x 52 box-pressed Toro vitola. Each cigar is packaged in a box of 10 with an MSRP of $24.99 per cigar. Shipments begin to authorized Cohiba retailers in May 1st. Riviera is handcrafted at Scandinavian Tobacco Group Estelí, S.A.
