Description

 Cohiba Esplendidos Cigar: describes this cigar as both subtle and bold, with a refined profile that leaves clear impressions of smoky peanuts, leather, and roasted coffee on the palate. Sweeter hints of candied citrus and dried fruit balance out the savory flavors. It’s complex yet well-balanced.

This large Julieta No. 2 offers a mellow blend of musky flavors with an easy draw, and its comfortable size and distinctive taste have gained almost legendary status. Thoughtful craftsmanship gives this full-bodied cigar a refined and smooth character, making it both serious and enjoyable. As part of the original Linea Clasica (1989), the Esplendidos is best aged a few years to fully appreciate its depth and richness.

Cohiba Esplendidos Cigar Overview

Cohiba was established in 1966 as a private cigar for Fidel Castro and top officials of the Communist Party, making the brand strongly associated with Cuba. However, these original private production cigars didn’t leave Cuba, especially not to the U.S. So, a separate Cohiba brand was created in the Dominican Republic. Remember, only one true Cohiba exists.

This Churchill-sized cigar measures about 6.9 inches long with a ring gauge of 47. It features a smooth, veinless medium brown wrapper and, because of its sleek look, it’s one of the most counterfeited cigars worldwide. copper

To ensure you’re getting an authentic Cuban Cohiba, look for the Habanos label in the top right corner of the box—though counterfeiters can sometimes mimic it, so its absence is a red flag. Also, genuine Cuban Cohibas are not packaged with glass or lucite lids; if you see those, it’s likely fake.

Lastly, if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Authentic Cuban Cohibas are premium cigars that usually carry a premium price, even when discounted.
