Storage Instructions
For the Cohiba Piramides Extra (10) store the cigars in a well maintained humidor to preserve the wrapper oils and the delicate balance of the filler tobaccos. Aim for a relative humidity of 68% to 70% and a temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC to 21ºC). Keep the humidor lined with Spanish cedar when possible and use a reliable humidification system or two way humidity packs to maintain steady conditions. Avoid rapid swings in temperature and humidity, direct sunlight, and proximity to strong odors. If you keep the cigars in their original box place the closed box inside the humidor to add a layer of protection. Store the Piramides Extra horizontally where possible so the filler rests evenly and moisture distributes uniformly.
Care Tips
Handle the Cohiba Piramides Extra (10) gently to protect the tapered pyramid head and the oily wrapper. Hold the cigar by the band or the foot rather than squeezing the barrel, and avoid wet or sweaty hands that can mar the leaf. When cutting use a sharp guillotine, a V cutter, or a punch sized appropriately for the tapered cap so you remove only what is needed for a clean draw. After transport allow the cigars to rest in your humidor for at least 24 to 48 hours before lighting to let the flavors settle. These cigars respond well to short to medium term aging, with 6 months to a year often smoothing and integrating flavors, and several years of careful aging developing added complexity for seasoned collectors. Inspect periodically for mold versus natural plume. A fine white dusting that smells sweet is plume and indicates proper aging. Any fuzzy or colored spots that smell musty should be isolated and addressed. For travel use a rigid travel humidor or sealed container with humidity control to avoid drying out or over humidifying the cigar. With proper storage and gentle handling the Cohiba Piramides Extra (10) will reward you with the refined taste and construction expected from this classic Cuban vitola.

History and Heritage
Cohiba is one of the most storied Cuban cigar brands, created in the 1960s and released for commercial sale in the early 1980s, and it has long represented some of Cuba’s finest craftsmanship. The brand is known for carefully selected tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region and for production methods that emphasize fermentation and consistency to achieve a silky and layered smoke. The Piramides shape is a classic vitola that concentrates flavors toward the head while providing a generous draw from the foot, making it a favorite among smokers who enjoy development and complexity. Presented in a box of ten the Piramides Extra is aimed at collectors and regular smokers who appreciate Cohiba’s heritage and the attention to detail that goes into each cigar.
Tasting Notes
The Cohiba Piramides Extra (10) delivers a medium‑to‑full bodied experience, unveiling a plush, velvety smoke with a long, refined finish. Initial draws present toasted cedar and concentrated espresso, followed by layers of bittersweet cocoa, warm baking spice and a savory leather undercurrent. The mid‑palate reveals roasted almond and a touch of honeyed sweetness that tempers a subtle white‑pepper bite, while a cool, creamy retrohale rounds the profile. Aromas of cedar, toasted tobacco and faint floral honey rise from the ash, inviting slow, contemplative puffs that reward patience.
Pairing Suggestions
A well‑aged dark rum (12–21 years): its molasses, vanilla and oak notes echo the cigar’s cocoa and honeyed accents while the spirit’s warmth amplifies the cedar and spice. A sherried single‑malt Scotch or a lightly peated malt: the sherry’s dried‑fruit richness complements leather and almond nuances, and a whisper of peat lifts the espresso and cedar facets. Espresso or 70–80% dark chocolate: a short, concentrated espresso cuts through the cigar’s creaminess and mirrors its coffee backbone, while bitter chocolate reflects the cigar’s cocoa tones for a luxurious, balanced finish.
