Marron Cohiba: the complete guide

History and origin

It is an imported material widely available on the international market, whose name recalls the warm tones of tobacco and dark wood. It is used in bathrooms, lobbies and fine furnishings, often paired with warm woods and metals. Its sometimes brecciated structure requires careful slab selection and, if necessary, resin filling carried out at the factory. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.

Look and veining

The background is deep brown with lighter hazelnut areas. The white and beige veins, thin or web-like, create a sometimes brecciated pattern. The density of the veins can vary considerably from slab to slab; polished, the brown looks warm and deep, while brushed lightens it slightly.

Technical properties (indicative)

Recommended uses

Suitable for cladding, bathrooms, washbasin tops, fireplaces, interior floors and decorative details. Avoid it outdoors and on heavily used kitchen worktops, as it is sensitive to acids and frost.

Care and maintenance

Clean with pH-neutral products specific for marble, without acids or abrasives. Protect with a stain-proofing impregnator, especially on bathroom tops exposed to cosmetics. Any dullness caused by acids can be restored by re-polishing.

Pairings

• Crema Marfil marble for borders and inlays
