Packaging and Presentation
This distinguished release was presented in elegant ceramic jars, each containing 25 cigars. The production was strictly limited, with only 10,000 jars produced worldwide, making this a highly sought-after collector's item from the moment of its release.
Each cigar features the distinctive Special Reserva del Milenio 2000 band, marking its exclusive status within the Cohiba portfolio. The band serves as both authentication and a visual indicator of the cigar's significance as a millennium commemorative release.
Release Information
The Cohiba Pirámides Reserva del Milenio was officially released in 1999, arriving just before the new millennium. This timing positioned the cigar as a celebratory release, marking one of the most momentous occasions in modern history with a smoke befitting the occasion.
The pirámides vitola—a tapered figurado shape—was a new special release size for the Cohiba brand, adding to the exclusivity and appeal of this millennium tribute.
