Cohiba Ambar Arriving at Swiss La Casa del Habano Stores on March 19
Nearly three years after it was announced, the Cohiba Ambar is beginning to make its way to stores, with Intertabak AG, the Swiss distributor of Cuban cigars, one of the first to announce that it will be available this month.
The cigar, which measures 5 1/5 (132mm) long with a 53 ring gauge, is a new vitola for the Cuban portfolio, with the new robusto extra size dubbed the placeres vitola. The cigar is part of the Cohiba brand’s Línea Clasica line and is billed as having a medium-full strength smoke, using only tobacco that has undergone the barrel fermentation process that is the brand’s signature. It was announced as part of the 55th anniversary celebration of the Cohiba brand and is considered a regular production addition to the Cohiba portfolio.
In Switzerland, the Cohiba Ambar will be available at La Casa del Habano stores on March 19, while Habanos Specialist stores will be selling the cigar as of March 26.
The Cohiba Ambar is priced at CHF 87 ($99.14) per cigar and CHF 870 ($991.40) for a box of 10 cigars. Another packaging option, a pack of three aluminum tubos, has previously been mentioned, but it remains to be seen if that will be released.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
