Description

The Cohiba Pirámides Extra, elegantly encased in a varnished wooden box of 10, crowns the illustrious Línea Clásica as Cohiba’s inaugural figurado vitola, meticulously handcrafted totalmente a mano at Havana’s El Laguito factory. Towering at 160 mm (6¼ inches) with a commanding 54 ring gauge, its lustrous extra-fermented corojo wrapper from Vuelta Abajo cloaks a ligero-infused core of the same premier valley’s piliado filler and binder, yielding impeccable construction, springy draw, and prodigious smoke output over an indulgent 70-90 minute ritual.​ The inaugural third whispers refined elegance with creamy floral notes, bittersweet chocolate, liquorice root, toasted almonds, and gentle white pepper, seamlessly ascending to a midsection symphony of cocoa powder, polished cedar, nutmeg, dried apricot, and balsamic earthiness. Climaxing in the finale, mature tobacco sweetness intertwines with espresso, graphite minerality, and lingering spice, bequeathing a profound, velvety aftertaste. Medium-to-full in body yet supremely balanced—eschewing raw aggression for sophisticated nuance—this Habano masterpiece thrives post-24 months’ humidor ageing, pairing exquisitely with aged cognac, vintage port, or ristretto amid twilight contemplation. A connoisseur’s emblem of Cuban refinement and timeless prestige.
