It’s probably fair to say that the Cohiba Esplendido is the most counterfeited cigar in the world, which makes it all the sweeter when you taste an authentic one. Its popularity with counterfeiters is a reflection of its popularity with the public, as its fair to say that the Esplendido is one of a small handful of ‘classic Cubans.’
As part of Cohiba’s Línea Clásica, the Esplendido is a Churchill-sized cigar, renowned for its impeccable construction and rich, complex flavour profile. It has the added cachet of earning a placement on a Cigar Aficionado magazine top 25 list, which it achieved in 2014.
Handcrafted using the finest selection of tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region, the Esplendido offers a medium-to-full-bodied smoke, with a harmonious blend of flavours that include creamy cedar, rich earthiness, and subtle notes of spice and cocoa. The burn time for an Esplendido is roughly 90 minutes.
