History of the Cohiba Esplendidos Cigar

The Cohiba Esplendidos is the ultimate manifestation of a Cuban cigar. A big spicy beauty that is there to be enjoyed when time is not a priority. Nearly 50 years old, this cigar is there for those most special of occasions.

Cohiba is the premier brand of Habanos. It was initiated in 1966 by Fidel Castro himself and was made at the now world-renowned El Laguito factory. Initially, it was only witnessed outside Cuba as gifts for heads of state and visiting diplomats. From 1982 Cohiba has been available in the open market. Only three sizes were made available, the Lancero, the Corona Especial, and the Panatela.

In 1989 three more vitolas, were added; the Robusto, the Exquisito, and the Espléndido. These six are referred to as the Línea Clásica.

In 1992 Habanos SA launched a new range of sizes, the Línea 1492. To celebrate Christopher Columbus and his voyage to the Americas, with each size referring to a hundred years since Columbus’ discovery. The range constituted the Siglo I, Siglo II, Siglo III, Siglo IV, and Siglo V, with a Siglo VI added in 2002.
Cohiba Maduro 5 was addded in 2007.

Cohiba Esplendidos Tasting Notes

The Cohiba Esplendidos stands out as one of the most prestigious cigars in the world, with a unique production process that sets it apart from all other Cuban cigars. Notably, two of its filler leaves, the seco and ligero, undergo an additional third fermentation in wooden barrels. This rare technique imparts a smooth, silky texture to the blend, contributing to the unmistakable Cohiba Esplendidos smoking experience.

Rich and full-bodied, the Cohiba Esplendidos offers a complex flavour profile that evolves throughout the smoke. Expect nuanced notes of peanuts, leather, and roasted coffee beans, each adding layers of depth to the cigar. This sophisticated balance of flavours makes for a bold and unforgettable smoke, perfectly fitting the prestige of the Cohiba Esplendidos name.
