Cohiba Esplendidos EMS Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017 Box of 15 Cigars

Length: 178 mm by Ring Gauge of 47  Factory Name : Julieta No. 2 - Churchill Size ; Flavour: Medium to Full Originally released in 1989, the Cohiba Espléndido achieved icon status decades ago and remains the king of the Línea Classica today. It seems only fitting then that it should be chosen to create a Gran Reserva, a series that started in 2009 with the introduction of the Cohiba Siglo VI. Gran Reservas are made using fillers, binders and wrappers that have been aged for five years in bales before being rolled. For the Espléndido, originally intended as a 2023 release, that means all of the tobaccos used have come from the 2017 harvest. Just 5000 numbered lacquered boxes of 15 cigars, 75,000 cigars in total, have been produced for the world market. Each cigar in the limited-edition run is distinguished by a unique black and gold "GR" band, signifying its status as part of the elite Gran Reserva collection. These rare cigars have been made tripa larga totalmente a mano (totally hand made using long-filler tobacco leaves) and have used only the finest tobacco sourced from the Vuelta Abajo zone in Pinar del Rio, Cuba. As part of the renowned Gran Reserva series, this release from Cohiba - Cuba's most prestigious brand - is crafted for the connoisseur seeking the ultimate smoking experience. These cigars represent the ultimate cigars available from Cuba, exclusive and of the highest quality of leaf and construction.
