Why Choose Cohiba Pirámides Extra?
The First Figurado in Cohiba Línea Clásica
The Pirámides Extra holds a unique distinction: it is the only shaped cigar in Cohiba’s permanent Línea Clásica range. While Cohiba has produced other vitolas for decades, the Pirámides Extra broke new ground in 2012 by introducing a substantial torpedo format to the classic lineup.
Historic Significance:
- First figurado in Línea Clásica permanent production
- Largest ring gauge (54) in the classic line
- Most substantial Cohiba outside limited editions
- Unveiled at the prestigious 14th Habano Festival in 2012
- “Extra” designation signifying larger dimensions and enhanced blend complexity
The “Extra” Advantage
The cigar is called Pirámides Extra because it’s thicker and longer than traditional Cuban pirámides formats. But that “extra” extends beyond dimensions—it’s also reflected in the blend’s elegant complexity, starting with chestnut and cinnamon, evolving through almond paste and black pepper, and finishing with honey, mocha, and citrus notes.
What Makes It “Extra”:
✓ Larger dimensions than standard pirámides
✓ Enhanced tobacco selection from premier Vuelta Abajo plantations
✓ Extended smoking time of 2-3+ hours
✓ Complex flavor evolution throughout the experience
✓ Triple fermentation process exclusive to Cohiba
✓ Premium presentation befitting flagship status
The Cohiba Legacy: Cuba’s Most Prestigious Brand
The Cigar of Diplomats and Dignitaries
Cohiba stands alone as Cuba’s most prestigious and exclusive cigar brand. Originally created in 1966 as Fidel Castro’s personal cigar and gifts for foreign diplomats, Cohiba remained unavailable to the public until 1982. Today, it represents the absolute pinnacle of Cuban cigar production.
Cohiba’s Unique Advantages:
- Triple fermentation process – Exclusive to Cohiba, creating unparalleled smoothness
- Finest tobacco selection – Only leaves from El Laguito plantation and select Vuelta Abajo vegas
- Master torcedores – Most skilled rollers reserved exclusively for Cohiba
- Rigorous quality control – Highest standards in Cuban cigar industry
- Global prestige – Most recognized and sought-after Cuban brand worldwide
Línea Clásica: The Foundation Collection
The Pirámides Extra joins six other distinguished vitolas in Cohiba’s Línea Clásica (Classic Line):
- Panetela
- Lancero
- Corona Especial
- Robusto
- Exquisito
- Espléndido
- Pirámides Extra (The only figurado)
Each cigar in the Línea Clásica features Cohiba’s signature triple-fermented tobacco blend, delivering the rich, complex character with creamy notes of cedar, cocoa, leather, and spice that define the brand.
Construction and Appearance: Commanding Presence
Visual Magnificence
The Cohiba Pirámides Extra is an imposing, beautiful cigar that commands attention:
Wrapper Characteristics:
- Light brown Corojo wrapper with distinctive reddish hue
- Tightly-bound exterior demonstrating master craftsmanship
- Smooth, elegant torpedo cap tapering to perfect point
- Moderate veining with no imperfections
- Tan coloration consistent with Línea Clásica aesthetic
- Silky texture from triple fermentation process
- Impressive visual presence – looks as premium as it smokes
Construction Excellence:

- Perfect taper from foot to pointed cap
- Substantial weight in hand (approximately 160mm/20+ grams)
- Classic Línea Clásica blend (no Medio Tiempo leaf)
- Flawless application of bands and finishing
- Premium presentation worthy of Cohiba name
New Security Band Design
In 2012, Cohiba introduced an innovative new band specifically for the Pirámides Extra:
Band E Features:
- Holographic security markings (inherited from Behike line)
- Advanced anti-counterfeiting measures
- Shiny, modern design with classic Cohiba logo
- One-sided face (unlike Behike’s double-sided band)
- Distinctive from other Línea Clásica bands
- Instantly recognizable Cohiba prestige
This special banding system makes the Pirámides Extra immediately identifiable while providing enhanced authenticity verification.
The Triple Fermentation Advantage
What Makes Cohiba Unique
Cohiba is the only Cuban cigar brand that subjects its tobacco to three complete fermentation cycles instead of the standard two. This exclusive process creates the smooth, refined character that distinguishes Cohiba from all other Habanos.
Triple Fermentation Benefits:
✓ Exceptional smoothness – Reduces harshness and bitterness
✓ Enhanced complexity – Develops deeper, more nuanced flavors
✓ Perfect balance – Harmonizes strength with refinement
✓ Creamy texture – Creates luxurious smoke quality
✓ Refined character – Eliminates rough edges
✓ Aging potential – Improves beautifully over years
Tobacco Selection:
The Pirámides Extra uses tobacco exclusively from:
- San Juan y Martínez – Cuba’s premier tobacco municipality
- San Luis – Another legendary Vuelta Abajo growing region
- El Laguito plantation – Cohiba’s private reserve
Only the “selection of the selection” makes it into Cohiba cigars—the finest leaves from the finest harvests from the finest plantations.

Aging Potential: Time Rewards Patience

The Cohiba Pirámides Extra, like all premium Cohibas, benefits tremendously from proper aging:
Fresh/Young (0-2 years):

- Complexity deepens significantly
- Recommended aging minimum
Medium Age (5-10 years):

- Highly prized by collectors
Extended Age (10+ years):

Critical Reception & Expert Reviews
Professional Ratings
94/100 – Cigar Aficionado (Top 25 Cigars)
“The Cuban Cohiba Pirámides Extra is the only figurado in the line. It’s also the thickest, not to mention one of the most expensive. The cigar is called Pirámides Extra because it’s a little thicker and a little longer than traditional Cuban pirámides sizes. But that little ‘extra’ was also put into the blend, as it offers an elegant profile starting with chestnut and cinnamon to almond paste and black pepper.”
Gentlemen Prestige:
“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 experience.”
Friends of Habanos Forum:
“One of my favorite cigars. Consistent Honey, Bread pudding, creamy cedar, fruit, coffee, a touch of leather and that famous citrus note.”

“A balanced cigar with earth, cocoa, coffee and vanilla bean all on top of a grassy twang. Pure Cohiba through and through.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the Pirámides Extra different from other Cohiba cigars?
A: It’s the only permanent-production figurado (torpedo shape) in Cohiba’s Línea Clásica. At 160mm x 54 RG, it’s larger and fuller-bodied than most classic Cohibas, offering 2-3+ hours of smoking time with enhanced complexity.
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
A: No. The medium-full to full strength, 2-3 hour commitment, and premium pricing make this better suited for experienced aficionados who appreciate Cohiba’s refined character and can dedicate the time required.
Q: How does it compare to Cohiba Robusto?
A: Pirámides Extra is larger (160mm vs. 124mm), fuller-bodied, offers longer smoking time (2-3 hours vs. 60-90 minutes), and features torpedo shape versus Robusto’s straight format. Both showcase Cohiba’s triple fermentation but Pirámides Extra provides more tobacco and complexity.
Q: Should I age these cigars?
A: Absolutely. While smokeable fresh, Pirámides Extra truly excels with 3-5 years minimum aging. The subtle bitterness found in young examples disappears completely, replaced by honey, butterscotch, and citrus sweetness. 5-10 years is considered optimal.
Q: What’s the difference between regular Pirámides and Pirámides Extra?
A: “Extra” refers to the larger dimensions (160mm x 54 vs. traditional pirámides sizing) and enhanced complexity in the blend. The Pirámides Extra is part of permanent Línea Clásica production with unique holographic Band E.
Q: Is it worth the premium price?
A: For special occasions and serious collectors, yes. You’re paying for: (1) Cohiba’s exclusive triple fermentation, (2) Finest Vuelta Abajo tobacco selection, (3) 2-3+ hours of premium smoking, (4) Only figurado in classic line, (5) World’s most prestigious Cuban brand, (6) Exceptional aging potential.
Q: What are the best beverage pairings?
A: Premium aged rum (Havana Club 15 Year), XO Cognac, single malt Scotch (18+ years), or luxury bourbon pair exceptionally. The cigar’s complexity demands equally sophisticated beverages.
Q: How do I verify authenticity?
A: Check for: (1) Holographic Band E with security features, (2) Habanos authentication code on box (verify at check.habanos.com), (3) Light brown wrapper with reddish hue, (4) Firm construction with perfect taper, (5) Proper box presentation (SLB 10 or tubos 15), (6) Purchase from authorized retailers like CubanCigarOnline.com.
Q: What’s the ideal storage humidity?
A: 65-68% RH is standard, though some Cohiba enthusiasts prefer 63-65% RH. Most important is stability—avoid fluctuations. Allow 4-6 weeks rest after shipping before smoking.
Q: Can I smoke this in less than 2 hours?
A: While possible, you’d miss the full evolution. The Pirámides Extra is designed for leisurely 2-3+ hour sessions where you can appreciate the complex flavor development through all three sections.

Decent cigar but not my favorite from Cohiba. The Cohiba Piramides EXTRA has good flavor – leather and spice – but didn’t wow me like other Cubans I’ve had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It’s good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.

A true masterpiece from Cohiba. This Cohiba Piramides EXTRA is everything you want in a premium Cuban cigar. Exquisite flavors of honey and toast, flawless construction, razor-sharp burn. Been smoking these for years and they never disappoint!

This is hands down one of the best cigars I’ve smoked this year. The Cohiba Cohiba Piramides EXTRA exceeded all expectations. Rich, creamy smoke with complex notes of honey and toast. Construction is perfect, ash holds firm. Worth every penny!

Excellent cigar from Cohiba. The Cohiba Piramides EXTRA has a refined flavor profile – lots of cedar and cream. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 67 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.
