Cohiba Pirámides Extra

The Cohiba Pirámides Extra opens with a rich and complex profile of toasted cedar, dark espresso, and sweet spices, establishing a full-bodied and layered foundation. The retrohale delivers vibrant black pepper spice layered with notes of leather, cocoa, and subtle earthiness, adding depth and intensity. As the cigar progresses into the second third, flavors of caramelized brown sugar, roasted nuts, and hints of cinnamon develop, enriching the creamy texture and intricate complexity. The final third finishes with notes of bittersweet chocolate, espresso crema, and a lingering toasted oak finish, delivering a powerful and satisfying conclusion.
