Cohiba ignites the Canadian market with its new vitola: Ambar
On April 8th, 2025, Cohiba lit up the Canadian cigar scene with the official launch of its newest vitola in the regular line: Ambar. The event was nothing short of a celebration, bringing together over 130 Habanos enthusiasts, including retailers, outlets enrolled in the Habanos Programs, industry insiders, and special guests, including the champions of the V Edition of the Habanos World Challenge competition and the General Consul of Cuba in Toronto. It was an unforgettable evening dedicated to the passion and culture of Habanos.
