Cohiba Ámbar

The Cohiba Ámbar is a distinguished addition to the prestigious Cuban brand Cohiba’s “Línea Clásica”. It was officially introduced at the inaugural Habanos World Days in 2021.

Flavor Profile

The Cohiba Ámbar delivers a refined and evolving taste experience:

Why Choose the Cohiba Ámbar

• A modern, high-quality Cuban cigar from the iconic Cohiba brand.

• Offers the sophisticated flavour signature of Cohiba with a fresh format and abundant flavour depth.

• Designed for both immediate enjoyment and potential for ageing — the extra barrel fermentation provides smoothness and complexity.

• Excellent choice for smokers seeking a robust yet refined Cuban cigar in a slightly thicker vitola without moving into the large ring-gauge territory.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

• Pair with: Premium single-malt whisky, aged rum or high-quality espresso — the nutty/woody/vanilla tones align beautifully.

• Storage: Maintain in a humidor at ~65-70% relative humidity and ~18-21 °C for optimal preservation.

• Smoking advice: With a 53 ring gauge, ensure moderate, steady draws to let flavours develop and avoid overheating the wrapper.

• Aging potential: While enjoyable fresh, this cigar benefits from being stored for 1-3 years (or more) to deepen its complexity and smoothness.
