Cohiba Ambar Cigar – Single

The Cohiba Ambar Cigar debuted in 2021 as part of Cohiba’s Linea Clasica collection, produced at Havana’s El Laguito factory. It utilizes the Placeres vitola format, measuring 5 1/4″ in length with a 53 ring gauge. The blend incorporates Cuban tobaccos from Vuelta Abajo, subjected to Cohiba’s proprietary extra barrel fermentation process for enhanced flavor development.

This cigar presents a 5 1/2″ (140 mm) length and 46-ring gauge configuration. The initial third reveals notes of toasted almonds and mild earthiness, transitioning into honey and cedarwood mid-smoke. Combustion characteristics include a slow burn rate with minimal touch-ups required, supported by a double-seam cap for structural integrity.

Airflow tests indicate a draw resistance of 1.5-2.0 psi, achieved through optimized bunching density. The filler combines seco and ligero leaves from San Juan y Martínez farms, wrapped in a semi-glossy Colorado capa leaf. Box codes show production batches from 2021-2023, with factory barcode verification available through Habanos SA’s authentication portal.

Packaging options include individual aluminum tubos with cedar spacers, maintaining 68-70% relative humidity during transport. Storage recommendations specify 65% RH at 18°C for optimal aging potential. The cigar’s thermal profile shows peak combustion temperatures of 650°F in the final third, requiring paced smoking to maintain flavor clarity.
