Cohiba Launches First Ever Lancero with New Cohiba Riviera Frontmark
For the first time, Cohiba is introducing a Lancero. The new cigar is an extension of the Cohiba Riviera line. Released last year, Riviera is also the only box-pressed Cohiba and the only Cohiba to feature a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. The new Cohiba Riviera Lanceros (size 7 X 38) will begin shipping to retailers this May.
Cohiba Riviera Tasting Notes & Blend Breakdown
Cohiba Riviera is named after the surrounding “riviera” geography of the Mexican San Andrés Valley — a famous growing region defined by its volcano-enriched soil, naturally cool climate, and abundance of running fresh water. Beneath the Mexican San Andrés wrapper, Cohiba Riviera contains a Honduran Connecticut binder and Honduran Jamastra, Honduran La Entrada, Nicaraguan Estelí, and Nicaraguan Condega filler tobacco.
Cohiba Brand Ambassador Sean Williams said this about the new Riviera Lancero: “The Lancero is a sophisticated vitola, and it was with great intention that we chose to debut this format under the Riviera line. Cohiba Riviera embodies the brand’s style and substance in a way that is classically modern, and our resurgence of this classic size feels new and contemporary in its box-pressed format, especially under the Riviera umbrella.”
In addition to the Lancero size, Riviera is also available in box-pressed Toro (6.5 x 52), Perfecto (6 x 60), and Robusto (5 x 52).
Tasting notes include dark chocolate, coffee, cream, and an overall richness to the smoking experience. It is a medium-to-full-bodied smoke. Bourbon, cognac, single malt scotch, and single malt whiskey are recommended pairings for Cohiba Riviera.

The Riviera Lancero is a full-time addition to the Cohiba Riviera lineup. SRP per cigar is $14.99. The Riviera Lancero will share the same purple and silver branding as the other sizes. It is available in boxes of 15 cigars.

(10 days ago)totally agree with you, not to mention it is the vitola hardest to produce, I myself was never a smoker of one and now and finding great joy smoking them, brings back a very nostalgic feeling with ever draw

(10 days ago)Very cool.
Re: nostalgia, yesterday I ordered some Candela Lanceros -- Espinosa Wasabi. I couldn't believe I found some! I love the Wasabi Robustos. Not that I smoked Lanceros back in the day, but I do remember thin(er) gauge Candelas. They're very hard to find. So, I'm looking forward to smoking them when they're ready, and reminiscing about years long gone by. Cheers!
