Cohiba Esplendidos GR (2023)

2023 Black Label GR, the pinnacle flagship vitola of Cohiba, with exceptional appreciation potential.

Originally launched in 1989, the Cohiba Espléndido quickly became an icon and continues to reign supreme in the Línea Clásica. It is therefore only fitting that this legendary cigar was selected for the Gran Reserva series, which began in 2009 with the Cohiba Siglo VI.

Gran Reserva cigars are crafted using filler, binder, and wrapper leaves aged for a minimum of five years in balesbefore rolling. For the Espléndido Gran Reserva, originally planned for a 2023 release, all tobaccos come from the 2017 harvest, ensuring a cigar of exceptional quality and maturity.

Only 5,000 numbered lacquered boxes—each containing 15 cigars, totaling 75,000 cigars worldwide—have been produced, making them an extremely rare and coveted collector’s item.

Handcrafted as tripa larga totalmente a mano (long-filler, entirely handmade), the Espléndido Gran Reserva uses only the finest leaves from Cuba’s legendary Vuelta Abajo region in Pinar del Río—the world’s premier tobacco-growing zone.

The Cohiba Espléndido Gran Reserva delivers the pinnacle of luxury in Cuban cigars. Its rich, full-bodied profile is perfectly balanced with smooth, creamy textures and complex layers of leather, spice, and earthy nuances, creating an unparalleled smoking experience. Ideal for special occasions or as a prized collectible, this Gran Reserva stands as a testament to Cohiba’s legendary craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless elegance.
