Cohiba Esplendidos Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017

Cohiba Espléndidos Gran Reserva: The Jewel of the 2017 Harvest
In the world of premium cigars, few names evoke as much reverence as Cohiba. Among its most coveted creations stands the Cohiba Espléndidos Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017—a true masterpiece, blending Cuban tradition, craftsmanship, and luxury into a singular, unforgettable smoking experience.

An Exceptional Churchill Format
The Cohiba Espléndidos Gran Reserva features the iconic Churchill size, also known as Julieta No. 2: 178 mm in length with a 47 ring gauge (18.7 mm diameter). This generous format promises an extended smoke (80 to 100 minutes), allowing aficionados to fully appreciate the complexity and evolution of its flavors.

The Pinnacle of Aged Cuban Tobacco
What sets this Gran Reserva apart from the standard Espléndidos is its exclusive use of leaves from the 2017 harvest, each aged for a minimum of five years before rolling. This extended aging process imparts remarkable depth and complexity, enhancing the natural richness of tobacco grown in Cuba’s famed Vuelta Abajo region—the heartland of the world’s finest cigar tobacco.

Flavor Profile: Richness and Balance
Upon lighting, the Cohiba Espléndidos Gran Reserva reveals a refined, medium-to-full-bodied strength. The smoke opens with earthy and woody notes, elegantly layered with hints of spice and cream. The result is a harmonious and nuanced flavor profile—rich and sophisticated, yet never overwhelming.

A Rare Collector’s Item
This edition’s exclusivity is underscored by its presentation: each cigar features a distinctive black and gold secondary band marked “GR” for Gran Reserva. The cigars are presented in luxurious, individually numbered lacquered boxes of 15. Only 5,000 boxes were produced, making each one a true collector’s treasure.
