No cigar captures the attention of aficionados like a Cohiba. Known for its prestige, the brand represents the peak of Cuban cigar craftsmanship. Now, Cohiba is releasing a new gem: the Cohiba Esplรฉndidos Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017. This limited-edition cigar is launching in Switzerland on October 22nd, and itโs creating quite the buzzโnot just for its quality, but for its hefty price.
At 534 Swiss francs per cigar (around $623 USD), this release is among the most expensive cigars ever sold. A box of 15 will cost 8,010 Swiss francs, or $9,300 USD. For collectors and connoisseurs, it promises a rare and special experience.
Limited and Exclusive
Only 5,000 boxes of the Cohiba Esplรฉndidos Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017 have been produced. Each box is individually numbered, making this release a true collectorโs item. These cigars will first appear in Casa del Habano stores in Switzerland on October 22. A week later, on October 29, they will be available at Swiss Habanos Specialist stores.
While Switzerland is the main market, these cigars have already been spotted in Germany. Other European countries are expected to receive them soon. If youโre outside Europe, getting your hands on one will be even more of a challenge, adding to the exclusivity.
The Gran Reserva Legacy
Cubaโs Gran Reserva series represents the highest standard in Cuban cigars. Each release uses tobacco aged for at least five years, ensuring an exceptional and refined flavor. Previous cigars in the series include the Montecristo No. 2, Partagรกs Lusitania, and Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona. Now, the Cohiba Esplรฉndidos Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017 joins this elite group.
The leaves for this Cohiba come from Cubaโs finest regions. Only the best tobacco, aged for five years, was selected. This aging process allows the tobacco to develop deeper, more complex flavors, offering a smooth yet powerful smoke.
A Cigar for Collectors
With a price of over $600 per cigar, the Cohiba Esplรฉndidos Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017 isnโt just a smokeโitโs a luxury investment. For those who appreciate fine cigars, it offers more than just flavor. It provides an experience steeped in craftsmanship and history. Each puff carries the result of years of dedication and expertise.
The fact that only 5,000 boxes exist makes this release even more special. The individually numbered boxes will likely increase in value over time, making them a prime item for collectors.
A New Milestone in Cuban Cigars
The Cohiba Esplรฉndidos Gran Reserva Cosecha 2017 marks a significant moment in Cuban cigar history. As the newest addition to the Gran Reserva line, it represents the height of Cuban cigar making. While the price may be steep, those who understand the art behind it will see its true worth.
As these cigars start arriving in stores this October, collectors and connoisseurs alike will get the chance to experience one of Cubaโs finest cigars. If youโre lucky enough to find one, youโll be holding a piece of history, crafted with care and expertise.
